Instead of wasting the court's time (and my tax dollars), when you're asked by the judge if you have any reason for not serving on the jury, just tell them you're a strong believer in jury nullification. That should get you home in time for lunch.

While I certainly wouldn't lie if asked directly, I'm not going to volunteer that I approve of jury nullification.

"just tell them you are a strong believer in jury nullification"

But make sure that, if asked, you are able to define "jury nullification". I went to jury duty and some woman used that line, the judge asked her to define it, and she went blank. Had no idea what it was. I was doubled over in laughter. Jury duty can be funny.
