Flame away if you will ...

No flames. I share your distaste with "I could care less," but the "I would not want to be judged by twelve people too stupid to not get off jury duty." is, I think correct.

The jurors in place are so stupid, they could not even come up with an excuse to get out of jury duty. "Too stupid to not get off ... " is awkward, but I think it correctly expresses the sentiment.

Too stupid to GET off would be the correct structure, this has been misused so much on television that people no longer see the error. Maybe it all started with the Rolling Stones, "I can't get no satisfaction". Just imagine you heard someone say,"he is too stupid to NOT walk and NOT chew gum at the same time".

It seems that the ability to express oneself clearly has become a very rare talent.
