Amendment VII
In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise reexamined in any court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.
Straight from the Bill of Rights.
"...and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise reexamined in any court of the United States..." That's the important part. A Jury in Podunk can nullify a Law in Bumfuq.
