Can a potential juror refuse to answer questions?

This is an interesting problem. There have been successful challenges by people from the jury pool where they have said, "You have no right to invade my privacy in that way, and I do not have to answer these questions to be qualified to serve on the jury." "It's none of your business whether or not I have ever been divorced" or, "It's none of your business whether I have ever had a child out of wedlock." or, "Its none of your business if my spouse ever hit me." And, in most instances, jurors have been successful in those arguments, but I would encourage you, if your asked questions that you think are too personal, or that you think are embarrassing, that you ask the judge if you can answer the question in chambers, just because it makes it a lot easier for the whole process to go along. But, I think that you have a right. as a person, to a private life, and if you really feel that these questions are an invasion of your privacy, you should say that I feel these questions are an invasion of my privacy, I am not comfortable answering them, and they will probably send you home, but at least, you have protected your own human right to your privacy, and you are to be commended for that.
