Can I use jquery to remove/negate css !important rule?

Viewed 30990

If there is a CSS rule that uses !important, is there a way to remove the !important rule so that I can make further downstream style changes with JS or jQuery?

theirs.css

div.stubborn { display: none !important; }

mine.js

$('.stubborn').fadeIn();  // won't work because of !important flag

Unfortunately, I do not have control over the style applying the !important rule so I need a work-around.
