We should remind all New Yorkers that, as jurors, they have no legal obligation to enforce any law that they consider unfair or arbitrary. (See the Fully Informed Jury Association for more information.) New York has many laws that no one has any moral duty to obey (I am not going to actually advise anyone to break a law no matter how dishonest, corrupt, or immoral it is) or, as a juror, any duty to enforce.

Of course, New York can claim the right to collect sales tax on entities with no business presence in its borders until it is blue in the face, but what is it going to do if said entities simply treat the state with the total contempt and lack of respect it deserves? Same for Michael Bloomberg’s efforts to enforce his city’s gun laws in Virginia–VA gun dealers should have simply treated him with public contempt and disrespect like the bipedal piece of trash he is.

Similarly, Rachel Ehrenfield was right to treat U.K. High Court Justice David Eady like the bipedal piece of refuse that he is. Perhaps he should be reminded that England no longer rules half the earth, it is no longer free to press-gang American sailors on the high seas (the cause of the war of 1812), and it is certainly not free to attempt to enforce its court judgments in the United States. Eady is a loser, in what is looking more and more like a country of losers, a country that has forgotten and discarded its honor and its heritage.
