What "outside the court secret information"? Any idiot in California 
knows that the medical marijuana initiative passed. As a juror I would 
not convict unless I were shown that this is not why the marijuana was 
grown - and maybe not even then.

Federal law has no business telling the states how to conduct their 
affairs except in exactly those ways specified by the constitution. Most 
of these bullshit laws are a result of the stretching of the interstate 
commerce clause to mean whatever they want it to mean.

What is their sworn duty? They have no duty to ignore their own 
perspectives, in spite of the collusion of the judiciary to lock out 
rights that all people have, such as jury nullification.
