The No Treason Podcast Ep. 12: Trial by Jury and the Illusion of Self-Government

In Episode 12 of The No Treason Podcast, Jonathan Drake continues a deep exploration of trial by jury through the lens of Lysander Spooner’s Trial by Jury, arguing that modern courts have stripped juries of their historic power and turned justice into a government-controlled illusion. Building from last week’s foundation, this episode confronts the claim that government already represents the people, examining why unchecked authority, judicial supremacy, and managed elections undermine genuine self-government. Drake walks through Spooner’s rebuttals, connects theory to real-world cases like Tina Peters, and explains why unanimous juries once served as a true barrier against tyranny. This episode challenges listeners to reconsider liberty, consent, and the role of the people in determining justice, asking whether modern trials protect freedom or merely perform it.
