The is no doubt that the current court system, which operates largely outside the Constitution, will resist any efforts to establish grand juries not under their control. This does not mean that such citizen directed grand juries lack standing, it merely means that they lack the cooperation of the same people they are trying to indict. The problem there is the same one faced by anyone who has tried to get justice served through the current US Attorney General Holder. When an organized gang decides to support and commit major crimes on a grand scale, they first capture the systems designed to control and regulate those activities. Then they can decide, using the official channels intended for such prosecutions, not to prosecute. This is representative government, but captured by thugs. It is still representative government, it just does not represent 'the people,' now it represents 'the cronies.'
