An American juror, however, must swear an oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution, | That's a new one on me. Jurors in my state swear only to give a true verdict according to the law and evidence: Quote:
RCW 4.44.260
Oath of jurors.
When the jury has been selected, an oath or affirmation shall be administered to the jurors, in substance that they and each of them, will well, and truly try, the matter in issue between the plaintiff and defendant, and a true verdict give, according to the law and evidence as given them on the trial.

I think that is an oath that can be made in good conscience, regardless of one's view of the Constitution.
