Juries don't get to decide the constitutionality of laws. Your qoute says nothing about juries. Get a grip. Just because the USSC is the "final" arbiter when working a suit through the court system in no way prohibits a jury from deciding the fate of a law as well.

Jury nullification is always an option, if they so choose. But a judge is well within the law to prevent defense counsel from arguing the constitutionality of settled law. McBryde will not be overturned on that point.
