How can we ensure that the constitutional right to a trial by jury is enforced if no one shows up for jury duty?

You also have the right to trial with a judge only. Why would I trust a bunch of retarded people too stupid to get out of jury duty?
There actually is no federal right to waive a criminal jury trial. The court and the prosecutor both have to consent for a defendant to get a bench trial.

Teacher or nurse doesn't work. My family has both, and each from those professions has been on a month or longer trial at least twice.
I've heard of much better results for law student and police officer.

If you want to get out of jury duty show up for jury selection wearing leather pants with the ass cheeks cut out & a banana stuffed down the front , tell them you hate cops & dont trust what they say , iff that dont work & they keep you until lunch time whip out the banana previously in yer britches & eat it , they'll think your a weirdo & not only let you out of current jury duty they'll put you on a do not call list .

jurors don't realize the power they have. if you sit on a jury and say...just as an example, someone was being sentenced for possession of our favorite herb. the jury could decide to not even go through with the trial and not prosecute and let the individual go... WeThePeople need to take back our power before its too late.

In that case the judge would make a judgement notwithstanding.
As a stoner you make us all look bad.

actually, a response to my statement like that makes stoners look bad. juries do have the power to disregard either evidence or instructions to reach a verdict. just because we are currently in a system where a judge would feel that their verdict over WeThePeople is why there is a problem in the system today and, therefore, doesn't make it acceptable. someone having an opinion or an understanding of something that is different from others isn't a reason to slam them. go smoke one dude and chill out.In that case the judge would make a judgement notwithstanding.

If the defendant has not harmed anybody but is being victimized by a bad law get on the jury and vote not guilty. Do not feel like you must uphold the "law" if the "law" is a bad one. Nullify. You need not tell anybody of your intentions, nor can you be punished for doing the right thing.
Juror nullification is one way to help end prohibition.
Pay no attention to the serpents gaze of the prosecutor or the judge. Think of the pictures in the post above this and all will be well.
