It's one of the most important rights we have in the United States.
BTW -- it's NOT a sure-fire way to get out of jury duty. In fact, it can get you IN to jury duty. If you get a lawyer who is looking for someone to use it to hang the jury or even overturn a potential conviction then they'll pick you for sure.

I wouldn't ask about it. You're right that a prosecutor will probably dismiss a jury over it, and because of corrupt prosecutors who want to win a conviction rather than see justice served, I would keep it hidden until necessary.
