Jury nulification is still allowed under the law. HOWEVER a specific jury instruction is prohibited. (judges are scared of it)

We need to MANDATE all juries recieve a jury nulification instruction in their final instruction charge before deliberations.

Jury nullification is cool, but I’m thinking about nullification at the state level where states refuse to follow or enforce federal laws.
