“I consider trial by jury as the only anchor ever imagined by man, by which a government can be held to the principles of its constitution”
Thomas Jefferson (1789)

Haldeman and John Ehrlichman, and former attorney general John Mitchell. TEX-ABOTA wishes to thank The Turkewitz Law Firm for the use of the image.
