Take it up with the founders. I tend to agree with them, but I think they were a lot smarter than I.

How many of the founders believed in jury nullification? One? Two?

Why isn't it in the Constitution?

Why have laws at all, if the jury is smart enough to deal "justice" on their own? Why bother with legislation, voting, etc. Why not just call on 12 people to administer "justice" in every case?
