The rest of my post answered that, as have other posts here (usually, such posts are unfavorably interpreted, so they don’t have to be dealt with, in a manner very similar to Donald Sutherland’s alien screeching in “Invasion of the Body Snatchers,” except instead of screeching, the term “mind-killed” is employed). (Let me ask you this, Oh-so-wise lesswrongers: “Is there any manner of RAPIDLY discussing high-level social organization that will not lead to allegations of being labeled as mind-killed?” and an interesting follow-up question: “In the pre-singularity, if I am right, is there any question more important than dealing with omnipresent sociopathic governance, so that humans are not all deemed to be amoral?” …After all, if Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot, Hutu Power, Bush-bama, etc. can all get people to behave immorally, then what value is individual human morality at the education-level of our society? No value. So what makes a human? Smarts? …Not really. So why keep totalitarian clones around? …GOOD QUESTION. …And I’m not even as smart as the humans on this site.)
To explicitly answer your question: The abolition of subject matter voir dire is absolutely necessary to restore the proper functionality of the jury. That would be a great start. Second, the proper jury instructions (without which there is no jury) need to be reinstated. Ie: “You, the citizen-jurors of the state of __, have the right to judge the law as well as whether or not the law was broken, and to vote your conscience, even if your conscience be in direct disagreement with the law.” (Voir dire can only exist to eliminate legal conflict of interest, meaning: one of the parties to the action (1)is familially-related to a venireman, or (2) is doing business with a venireman.)
A system that protects individual liberty (in its varying individual contexts) needs to be built in the USA, since the portions of our system that once accomplished the protection of individual liberty have been destroyed.
There are many intelligent people on this site, but they tend to be totalitarians-by-default, because most people everywhere are totalitarians-by-default. Stanley Milgram proved that, beyond a shred of doubt. The only way to deny his findings are to deny the evidence of the senses and the interpretation of the intelligent mind, …which is easy for most humans, because they don’t have one.
There is only one EY in 1,000, and the rest of the people who gravitate to him are people who need to feel good about how rational they are. There is no avoiding this, except for the handing out of either nanobots that can swim up to brain blood barriers and increase human capacity, or handing out darwin awards like candy.

In any event, bon chance, fellow slave.
