We have constant conversations about the ability of professional jurists to remain politically impartial. Every thread on a SCOTUS decision has one side or the other lambasting certain justices for being partisan actors. Yet you think among residents of a county in which 86.8% of residents voted for Biden over Trump that you can find twelve impartial, amateur jury members who will completely discount their partisan leanings and judge a case based solely on its merits?
Just so we're clear, professional judges are not capable of being impartial, but twelve rando's from Manhattan definitely are?

So any politician you vote against you would automatically vote guilty if you were a jurist on their criminal trial?
