Almost no one is. For example as a juror, if you don't believe in a law you simply don't vote to convict even if the person is "guilty". Exactly what the Judge tells you not to do.
Even with Jury Nullification, the Judge still has the final call. He can disregard the Jury's finding (Judgment Non Obstante Veredicto); or he can order the jury to find for the defendant a certain way (Directed Verdict). Look it up...
I have found, thus far, that is, sadly, quite true. Perfect example was the covid debacle. Every day American citizens do not know their rights. The TV tells them what to believe and what to do and they just believe it and do it. You would be hard pressed to find anyone in the WH who is constitutionally literate. If there was, we wouldn't be in this mess.
To all intents and purposes she is right. The laughingly-named Affordable Health Care Act was challenged as being unconstitutional, and what did SCOTUS do but justify it as a revenue bill- but the Constitution requires all revenue bills originate in the House. So SCOTUS, too is illiterate. Furthermore, the law requires all bills be read out in full before Congress, and there was no way this 2500 page monstrosity was going to be read out- so they got away with it by saying, again with no justification, that everyone had indeed read it on their own beforehand. It does not get much more unconstitutional than that!
"Trump is no more constitutionally literate than the rest of them." You seem to believe no one is 'constitutionally literate'.

It's called, "jury nullification."
