Thanks for posting the article Fabs. I read it twice and still failed to find anything that specified exactly which article or amendment addresses jury nullification or makes it a Constitutional right. The article reminded me of some of those written by folks who claim that that the federal income tax is unconstitutional. (I detest paying income taxes in light of what some of my taxes are spent on, but arguing that income taxes are unconstitutional is futile).
Legal babble as used by attorneys and lawmakers can sometimes be disingenuous, but quasi-legal fuzzy logic is even worse and is potentially dangerous.

I don't have terribly strong feelings one way or another about jury nullification, but I can find no evidence that it is a Constitutional right.
