Thats what jury nullification is supposed to be about. No matter what laws get passed, if the people refuse to convict, then they are indeed at the top of the pyramid.
Thats how it's supposed to work, anyway.

Exactly. -- We have allowed the
'justice system' to infringe upon our right to be tried before fully informed juries. -- The application of the law in the case at hand should be part of every felony trial.
Instead we have 'directed verdicts', -- a mockery of the system itself.
