Any one that believes that this should be a government of, by and for the people should understand that "jury nullification" is just one of the fundamental protections against the application of unjust laws by a tyrannical government.

Yes, it may infrequently lead to abuse (ala O.J.) but that's the price we pay for a valuable but imperfect system.

If, in fact, Palin professes a belief in jury nullification, it just further cements in my mind that she believes that the fundamental underpinnings of our country are the people NOT the collectivists who would migrate our country toward socialism.

Or, to put it less intellectually—it cements in one's mind the notion that Sarah Palin is totally freakin' awesome!
