I thought RP was pretty much on his game this morning. I love that he mentioned Lysander Spooner several times.
But I wish RP would talk about Spooner's "Trial by Jury" and Jury Nullification and how despite the efforts of Unionist judges to impeach jurors who would not enforce the Union's Fugitive Slave Laws, jury nullification, the underground railroad, and the economic realities of slavery were abolishing slavery just fine anyway. Had Lincoln and the Unionists not enslaved the South with the "Intolerable" tariff, there would have been no seccession, no mass murder of 660,000, and slavery would have been abolished in the US peacefully like it was everywhere else.
I've heard RP mention Spooner and the Underground Railroad more than once with regard to the topic of civil disobedience. It would be great if he could use this campaign to also talk about Jury Nullification and how the government has been stacking juries in order to enforce its oppressive statutes.
