Even the USSC compelled Pres Clinton to testify in Paula Jones’ civil case even though Pres Clinton felt he was just “too important” at the time to do so because he was President of the US. The USSC told Pres. Clinton that no one is above the law.

But, we're not talking about that, are we? :-)
What we're talking about is that no one can tell any juror how to cast his vote for guilty or not guilty and no one enforce with a juror how he will make that determination for that vote.
Once the juror knows that his vote for guilty or not guilty is his alone and no one can enforce any "methodology" he wants to apply for that vote ... then he'll understand that if there is an unjust law that should not be enforced in the case he's on -- he can simply vote that way, so to not enforce it.
And there's nothing anyone can do about his vote...
I'm sure that scares the hell out of a lot of judges and lawyers... but that's the way it is ... :-)
