Beyond being one’s own judge, the systemic vernacular for a juror (independent party / peer {a noble equal} that is to recognize fact and law) is known as “voir dire” (speak the truth) which, is ultimately to be an impartial / unbiased individual sovereign. Nothing here references the occupying statist theocracy infesting this land’s black robbed high priests that uniquely promulgate its judicial will.
