Should judges exclude prospective jurors after questioning them and determining they do not favor the law which the prosecution seeks to enforce?

If so, why do we still call them random juries? Does that mean the John Peter Zenger jury should have been stacked with crown sympathizers?

Should juries have been stacked in the 1850s to guarantee convictions under the Fugitive Slave Act?

Should judges be punished for thus excluding jurors based on voir dire questioning?

Alfred the Great summarily executed judges who replaced jurors who refused to convict. Would this be a good solution for us to adopt, today? Why not?

1~4; The jury system is largely irrelevant since it puts the law in the hands of scrubs who don't know anything. On the one hand you want to be fair, so you draw from a random crowd - making selection pointless. On the other hand you want to be just, so you draw from a selected crowd - making court pointless.

As for executing judges: Execution is not a standard practice these days. The sentiment I detect is punitive action against the judges, which is fair - but the punishment would need to reflect the modern sensibilities, such as disbarrment (that's for lawyers, not sure if applies to judges) or a fine or a mistrial.
