I agree with you that a jury, as part of the Judicial process and branch, can, and should consider jury nullification as a proper act in extreme cases. If they were twelve people serving on an Executive branch committee, board or regulatory body and the issue was settled by properly adopted Law they would then, however, be violating their oath of office.
