They have to act under the radar because judges abuse their power. They have the right and duty to judge both but must get past the judges who abuse their office.

Juries have a de facto *ability* to do that. They have no *right*, let alone a *duty*, based in law. Sparf v. US, 156 U.S. 51 (1895).

Any *right* or *duty* to engage in jury nullification arises from a "higher law" analysis, not in the laws of man.
