The Administrative Office of the Courts in the State of Washington has just produced a poster to be hung on the wall in rooms where jurors collect and/or deliberate. It expresses appreciation for those willing to fulfill this duty of citizenship. At the top of the poster, the words "We the people" appear in a Jeffersonian script. I think the message is, as Milum suggests, a unit of thought: that it is "just folks" (as opposed to professional deciders like myself) who form the line between a potentially oppressive government and the citizenry.
