A Surefire Way to Get Out of Jury Duty!

A surefire way to get out of jury "duty."
I had to sacrifice 10.5 hours of work this week to do jury "duty" (i.e. forced labor). Fortunately, I know of a way to get out of jury duty without lying or I would still be there. FYI, there is NO Constitutional requirement that I serve jury duty, only that I receive a trial by jury if accused of a crime by the state, so please don't respond by saying it's my "civic duty" or the "moral" thing to do. Heck, they don't even want guys like me most of the time because each side simply tries to pick the most manipulatable people they can find and I think for myself. They don't want critical thinkers to serve on juries, and this makes sense if you stop and think about it. The goal isn't to serve justice - it's to win the case..... As Norm Crosby said, "When you go into court you are putting your fate into the hands of twelve people who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty."

Anyhow, here's the secret to getting out of jury duty, but before I tell you how let me warn you that you HAVE to do this in a way that doesn't look like you're trying to get out of serving or the presiding potentate might cite you for contempt and make you pay a fine or worse.... What you do is answer YES on the pre-jury-selection survey to the question asking if you have a belief or attitude that causes you to doubt or dismiss the validity of the judicial system. When the judge asks you to elaborate, simply tell him you believe in JURY NULLIFICATION; however, you don't believe that it applies to this case. The court system, especially here in authoritarian California, is SO AFRAID of this LEGAL remedy that they don't even want the IDEA presented and potentially explained. You WILL be dismissed as I was today.
