The law grants this power to juries under the premise that they behave objectively. If jury nullification became commonplace, I would expect we'd see calls to join the rest of the world in abolishing popular juries. I think that would be a net loss.

Are you asserting that a jury can never objectively reach a nullifying verdict?

Why would it be? I have yet to see a convincing argument that popular juries make better (more just) judgements.
