I too believe that the constitutionality of a law is certainly fair game before a jury. If the law is not constitutional, the jury should not be bound by only the law itself. I do not believe in jury nullification, though unless they believe the law to be unconstitutional. Otherwise it is a formula for chaos.

Sorry, but you can't have it both ways. Equal treatment under the law and due process would preclude that.
