How best to do that?&nbsp; Simple.&nbsp; Instruct the<br \/>\njudiciary to exercise control of it.<\/p>\n<p>This they have done.&nbsp; The simple exerting of two fictions is all that is<br \/>\nnecessary for this task.&nbsp; (1.) Instruct the populace that only they (the<br \/>\njudiciary) can interpret the meaning of the Constitution, and (2.) buttress<br \/>\nthat fiction by excising the Constitution from the courtroom. <\/p>\n<p>That is how we end up with lapdogs the likes of Hendren.&nbsp; He will resort<br \/>\nto any kind frightening rhetoric and gavel thumping arrogation to protect his<br \/>\nnaked regalia and that of his fellow travelers.&nbsp; To exercise control over<br \/>\nthe commons is commonplace in these exalted waters. <\/p>\n<p>Let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s take a look at how Hendren did just that in ruling over the Fincher<br \/>\ntrial.&nbsp; With inordinate comfort and a hubristic smile \u00e2\u20ac\u0153judge\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Hendren did<br \/>\nthe following: <\/p>\n<p>* Refused to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153allow\u00e2\u20ac\u009d the use of Fincher\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s ultimate and necessary defense, i.e.<br \/>\nthe Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of<br \/>\nArkansas. <\/p>\n<p>* Refused to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153allow\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Fincher his inalienable and constitutional right (6<sup>th<\/sup><br \/>\nAmendment) to be tried by a jury. Hendren would only \u00e2\u20ac\u0153allow\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Fincher to give<br \/>\ntestimony in front of Hendren, himself, and then denied Fincher the right to be<br \/>\nheard by a jury of his peers. <\/p>\n<p>* Intimidated the jury by telling the jury it could not think outside the box<br \/>\nthe judge defined. <\/p>\n<p>To back up these charges, I offer the following quotes from Hendren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s<br \/>\ninstructions to the jury: <\/p>\n<p><i>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153You are the sole judges of the facts: but you must follow the law as stated<br \/>\nin my instructions, whether you agree with it or not.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/i>&nbsp; (Editor\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s<br \/>\nnote: Simply a lie.&nbsp; All jurors in the United States have the right to<br \/>\nacquit if they think the judge is incorrect in his definition of the law, if<br \/>\nthey think the law is a bad law, or if their conscience tells them the<br \/>\ndefendant is being abused by the prosecution or judge. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fija.org\/%29%A0\" eudora=\"autourl\">http:\/\/www.fija.org\/) <\/p>\n<p><\/a><i>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153It is your duty to find from the evidence what the facts are.&nbsp; You<br \/>\nwill then apply the law, as I give it to you, to those facts.&nbsp; You must<br \/>\nfollow my instructions on the law, even if you thought&nbsp; the law was<br \/>\ndifferent or should be different.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d&nbsp; <\/i>(Editor\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s note:&nbsp; See above<br \/>\nnotation.)&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;Compare the above quote from earlier ones in his instructions to the<br \/>\njury:<i>&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p><b><u>&#8220;Each of you must make your own conscientious decision<\/u><\/b>, but<br \/>\nonly after you have considered all the evidence, discussed it fully with your<br \/>\nfellow jurors, and listened to the views of your fellow jurors.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d <\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153You are entitled to consider that evidence <b><u>in the light of your own<br \/>\nobservations and experiences in the affairs of life<\/u><\/b>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d). <\/i>Emphasis is<br \/>\nmine. <\/p>\n<p>About the defense introducing and interpreting the Second Amendment as evidence<br \/>\nHendren had this to say:&nbsp; <i>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6and I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know that I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve got a problem<br \/>\nwith that, but I think that there would be a problem if the matter were going<br \/>\nto be submitted to the jury about whether they think that is what the First<br \/>\nAmendment \u00e2\u20ac\u201c the Second Amendment \u00e2\u20ac\u201c says or not, because that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not a matter for<br \/>\nthe jury to decide.&nbsp; The Court will tell it what the law is, the<br \/>\napplicable law.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p><\/i>On the role of the judge and that of the jury Hendren makes this arrogant<br \/>\nand errant barrage of affluent: <\/p>\n<p><i>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153The judge, being myself in this case, is tasked with determining issues of<br \/>\nlaw, evidence, (sic) and procedure.&nbsp; Those matters are not for the<br \/>\nconsideration of the jury.&nbsp; It would be unfair to put it to them.&nbsp;<br \/>\nThey are not legally trained.&nbsp; They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not judges.&nbsp; They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not<br \/>\ntrained and hopefully experienced (sic).&nbsp; They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not experienced in such<br \/>\nthings.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d <\/p>\n<p><\/i>In other words, according to Hendren, American citizens who sit on a jury<br \/>\nare too stupid to be there.&nbsp; Why, then, I ask, do we even have<br \/>\njuries?&nbsp; Hendren, obviously, considers juries one of life\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s burdens put<br \/>\nupon judges. <\/p>\n<p>So what to think? <\/p>\n<p>I think that Hendren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s chicanery, evasion and ambivalent stratagem points to<br \/>\nthe existence today of the very thing that our forefathers sought to avoid<br \/>\nthrough the Constitution \u00e2\u20ac\u201c a dictatorial judiciary that sets the rules for the<br \/>\nother two \u00e2\u20ac\u0153co-equal\u00e2\u20ac\u009d&nbsp; branches of government and the citizenry a large. <\/p>\n<p>I think that there are men who are so unlimited in ego and self delusion that<br \/>\nthey not only break the rules and laws of society\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6they indeed break the bonds<br \/>\nof humility that must govern civilized society.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>Jimm Hendren does not judge\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6he cheats.<\/span><span style=\"\"><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A DISHONEST MAN By Don A.
