JOHN LOFTON / Question, Please -- Jurors....

[Marc Stern]

I don't have the citation in front of me,but on pretty much identical
facts in a case involving Madeline Murray O'Hair a decade or more
ago,the Fifth Circuit dismissed a challenge to a dismissal from jury
service on the grounds that it was either moot or did not present a
justiciable  controversy because there was no certainty that the matter
would ever arise again.And judges  enjoy an absolute immunity from
damages.

    Folks:  Please let's focus on technical legal discussions of the
questions of the law of government and religion.  If someone wants to
tie these questions to Torcaso v. Watkins, or for that matter to other
legal principles, that's great.  But discussions at this level of
abstraction, with no tie to concrete legal matters, is not helpful on
the list.

	Are they to be judges only of "the facts" or also "the law"? And
if not "the law," sez who? What is a juror to do if he believes law is
unjust -- un-Godly, un-Constitutional?
