I am, and he is (right, that is).
I thought Scalia even once said that while trial by jury "has never been efficient… it has always been free." (Apprendi v. New Jersey). I tend to think that jury nullification has a place in our society.
Scalia is a psychopath, albeit a brilliant one. Jury nullification is an absolute evil and, unfortunately, it's proponents don't recognize why. BTW, I'd be happy to discuss the myth of jury nullification, but it really doesn't belong in this thread.
