The Patriot Post's mission is to advocate for Essential Liberty, the restoration of constitutional limits on government and the judiciary, and to promote free enterprise, national defense and traditional American values. Our objective is to provide Patriots across our nation with a touchstone of First Principles through brief, informative and entertaining analyses of relevant news, policy and opinion from reputable research, advocacy and media organizations, so they may better support and defend those Principles, and enlist others to join our ranks." —Mark Alexander, Publisher

A jury acquits somebody you think is guilty (as if your opinion mattered at all), and now the entire jury system is broken? Baloney. Your brain is broken. The jury did exactly what is was supposed to: hear evidence, weigh the evidence, deliberate about the evidence, reach a verdict. The prosecution failed to prove its case to the jury, the only people whose opinions mattered. That's our justice system, which thankfully does not include nincompoop commentators.
