Although I agree with the article that juries should have more powerful, I don't see how a believer in nullification can get on a jury without lying.

Yeah, I had more or less the same thought. In my own case, I do believe in Jury Nullification; it just happened that the case was a property crime case (breaking and entering, larceny) which is one of the areas where the law seems reasonably just. So I didn't speak up or anything, and ultimately did serve on the jury.
