"Other than voting, serving on a jury is the most substantial opportunity that most citizens have to participate in the democratic process." - Justice Kavanaugh writing for the 7 member majority today in Flowers v. MS. You can read the full opinion here supremecourt.gov/opinions/18pdf…
Justice Alito joined the 7 member majority that reversed the decision of the Mississippi Supreme Court in Curtis Flowers’ case. But don’t get any ideas. He’s very clear that this case is “one of a kind.” 
Justice Thomas (joined by Gorsuch in dissent) is unrelenting: “If the Court’s opinion today has a redeeming quality, it is this: The State is perfectly free to convict Curtis Flowers again.”
