      You don’t seem to understand the legal system. Unless something is explicitly stated as a violation of the law, it is legal. Jury nullification is not listed as an illegal act, hence it is legal. There is no in between, as you seem to think there is.

        You don’t seem to understand what being under oath means. Breaking an oath is explicitly stated as a violation of the law. They just cannot tell if you knew or not. But they will remove you from a jury if you talk about nullification with the other jurors. Break an oath by lying about something provable and get it proven and see what happens then and how legal it is.

            So you established that lying under oath is illegal. So the knowledge of how jury nullification works and answering that you have no idea / intention to do it when you do is illegal. So now in the context of this thread - calling people to knowingly lie under oath and nullify the jury is illegal. You even called it “naughty stuff”. So stop being a pedant and saying “oh but people might not know about it and do it” yeah, they can. Doesn’t mean someone spreading the info on how to do it and encouraging it isn’t calling for a crime to be committed.
