"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Dallas Threatens Slavery Resisters
"A summons to jury duty is not an invitation; it is a command."
Theses are the authoritarian words of a local politi-gangster that goes by the name of Martin Lowy, who declares himself to be “the Administrative District Judge in Dallas County.” Apparently, the “Judge” is impressed with the kidnapping techniques practiced by his totalitarian brethren in El Paso.

Ok, so it's a given that you will be forced into jury duty - so if it's some victimless crime, BS IRS cases, or violation of a statute, just vote "not guilty" !! And the more guilty the defendant appears to be, the funnier it is when you say "NOT GUILTY." So why try to get out of jury duty, do something constructive with it.

Absolute agreement! Go in with a pleasant smile and the announcement: "I stand firmly with not-guilty verdicts for all defendants!"

I say don't let on, play the game, listen the trial, deliberate on the facts, but not convinced, one has to vote NOT GUILTY.
