OK. You seem to be unaware that a question mark denotes a question.

I'll repeat it here for you for convenience:

Why is judicial activism wrong, yet jury nullification is right?

(Feel free to ignore the previous statements, since they weren't questions to be answered.)

Because judges are often corrupt political hacks whereas juries are panels of peers. A judge must view a law as written and as intended by its writers, whereas a jury of peers can determine if a law is bad law or is simply inappropriate in a certain case.
