Subject: SLS: Political Action: Judicial vs. Executive
Federal grand juries are not legal bodies,
because of the unconstitutional bias which
the Jury Selection and Service Act ("JSSA")
exhibits against Citizens of the several states.
See the OPENING BRIEF in the case law section
of the Supreme Law Library at URL:
http://www.supremelaw.com
for a thorough legal analysis of this fatal
flaw in the JSSA.
