>you said even one of them in a contract negotiation the first order of business by the union rep would be to remove you from contract negotiation.

You can do the same thing by saying "jury nullification" during the jury duty selection process. You can watch BOTH lawyers scramble to kick you out of the room.

To be fair, this may be not because you know about it, but because you're the sort of person to bring it up unsolicited.

Serious question: why would a defense attorney want to kick off the one crazy juror who brings up jury nullification during voir dire?
