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.

"...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.
