Louisiana trials. But we need to place this into perspective. This laudable ruling would only apply to cases then pending or recent will i adjudicated. It meant nothing to mr mr. Edwards, the only place that would jail you for life on a nonunanimous verdict. Why should the 6th amendment mean something less to mr. Edwards.

This cleared two paths that ramos, two paths to remedy those jailed by a jury scheme we know was morally wrong at its i think so tension and is unconstitutional. For some, apdoca was dead on arrival. And with these, they provided no value and ramos is an old rule dictated by precedent that simply restored the 6th amendments full measure either through the due process clause or privileges or immunities clause of the 14th amendment.

With the book, hopefully you have read most of that if not all of it, you get an argument against the Electoral College but its a useful book because , he lays out all of the common arguments for it as well, which i think is helpful for allowing each person to make up their own mind about what they think about this institution generally speaking.
