In theory, I like the idea of jury nullification. In theory, it would involve a brave citizen saying "This law is unconstitutional, and I will not vote to convict anyone under this law." In theory, this is a good thing.

In practice, it seems to always be a Democrat operative crossing his or her arms and saying, "I don't care how corrupt that SOB is -- I have my orders and I am not going to let you convict him. Nyah, nyah, nyah."

Suppose a juror actually does that in an appropriate case. Would you be supportive? Would you do the same if you were a juror in such a case?
