Evidence & Reason Rule
Jury nullification has nothing to do with the constitutionality of a law. Any time a jury refuses to follow the law and substitutes their own judgment as to the wisdom of the law, they engage in jury nullification, an entirely illegal action. They may simply think that the law is not needed. They certainly are not determining the constitutionality of a law.Jury nullification does not render a law unconstitutional.Which laws that have been declared unconstitutional, are cops enforcing right now?"I, ---------, sworn officer of --------- agency/dept, do hereby swear that I will NEVER enforce any unconstitutional law"
Of course you won't. you DO enforce such laws every DAY, and you'd be fired for signing such a statement, and we all know it, too.

Only in the case the jury is convened upon. I think that you will find that the jury is empowered with their conscience to deem a law inapplicable in a case because to do so would be unconstitutional in that case.

There has been a slow erosion of the constitution for 140 years. Its actually intolerable and Americans need to use their option to alter or abolish through Article V, BUT DO IT RIGHT.
