If a juror feels that the statute involved in any criminal offence
is unfair, or that it infringes upon the defendant's natural
god-given unalienable or constitutional rights, then it is his
duty to affirm that the offending statute is really no law at all
and that the violation of it is no crime at all, for no one is
bound to obey an unjust law. -- Chief Justice Harlan F. Stone
