“Both lawyers will reject you if you claim to know anything about this subject.”

And I’m guessing that responses during voir dire are given under oath, so that anyone claiming no knowledge could be prosecuted for perjury.

Perhaps; though I don’t think they ask directly about Jury Nullification: their greatest advantage is that [most] people do not know about it.

Perhaps, though anyone who is bound by oath to uphold the Constitution of the U.S. would also be duty-bound to oppose efforts by prosecutors to violate it; I don't think a later oath would negate the first.
