You get notified - you MAY be asked to report of Jury Duty

Go - it's your civic duty
Go reluctantly - knowing you risk losing $$$ while out of work.
Try to honestly get excused - "I don't want to do this, because..."
Try to just get excused! -  I might have TB, can't sit for long periods, hard of hearing, etc.
Demand an excuse - "I am a Racist, Anarchist, Hang 'em all Judge, etc."  tell them anything to show you're BIASED.
Go and deliberately mess with the system, so they'll never make the mistake of calling you, again!
Go just to make sure Justice is DONE and the Perp gets the "chair"
Go just to make sure Social Justice is done and the cops get what's coming.
No opinion
Other - please post..

Today is the day I report for "Jury Orientation" - Took the whole day off of work.   Maybe they'll take one look at me, "YOU!  Get the hell outta here", and I'll be done.

Jury Orientation was pretty painless, and boring.  the heating / cooling system doesn't work too good, we were told to "dress in layers".

So I got 4 jury dates, all Civil Lawsuits, expected to last ONE day each.  Dates are spread over the next 2 months.  They basically want me to stay away from media coverage of possible court stuff.  Pretty easy, without a TV or Newspaper.

That makes you part of the problem.   :glare:

Maybe.

But let's take a case where a Christian Bakery is being sued for refusing to bake a Wedding Cake for a Gay Couple.

I don't care what the Law says, I would refuse to convict.

Hello RINO!!  Your ass would not be chosen, unless you lie like a rag head.   Even then the courts would over turn it on an appeal.

The Constitution is not a Suicide Pact.

When the other side plays dirty - you play dirty right back.

They behead your soldiers ? I won't say what I'd like to see done in return. (It may horrify some, and this is a family forum.) But Waterboarding would be the tip of that Iceberg.

Right now this country teeters on the brink - because Conservatives have forgotten how to fight.

You doubt this ? Look at our last two Presidential Candidates - both of them gutless and spineless.

McCain refused to use Obama's Full Name !

And Romney let a leftist Moderator hand him his head on a platter.

No More. We need to do what it takes to regain this Country. And by we I mean ALL LEGAL CITIZENS. And if it means Jury Nullification to save our own from Injustice, so be it.

I'm a RINO ? Wrong. I've never been a member of those gutless wonders. I'm not a Republican in Name or otherwise. I'm a proud American who gives not a damn about Establishment Parties. They all should fail.
