But, the algorithm itself isn’t the same as the values I input into it.
What I mean by that is that I’m going “I think drug laws are unjust… THEREFORE I should refuse to convict in the case of a violation of those laws”
So is the “If I, personally, think a set of laws are seriously unjust, should I essentially ignore them when I’m a jury member?”
(note, my natural initial inclination was “yes, nullification of drug laws is a good idea”, with the only question being “do I lie when asked in the first place if I’d be willing to convict on a drug offense or if I’d heard of nullification” etc… But once I got to thinking about it, to the actual algorithm I’m effectively running, well, hence my eventual asking here for advice)
