Notice the tolerance exhibited by this leftist judge for people with viewpoints different from her own...

The elite in this country are so removed from the ground-level nitty gritty racial issues in this country, they can't believe that some of the plebians still harbor impure thoughts.

A judge is just a lawyer with too much power.

Now I’m scared to death to answer the question honestly: Obama, Pelosi and Reid.

Like I tell my wife, if you don’t want to hear the answer, don’t ask the question. Would the Judge have liked it better if she lied and then they had to throw the conviction (if any) out when someone complained later?

There is an exchange that often goes like this:

Lib: You can’t be intolerant of others!
Con: Really, isn’t that intolerant? Are you tolerant of Christian values?
Lib: We don’t have to tolerate bigotry and intolerance.
Con: How do you feel about Islam? Game. Set. Match.

“ONLY WHITES CAN BE RACIST”

Obviously not in this case. The woman was oriental.

Which could backfire when the juror automatically votes guilty when a black is a defendant.

Why have questionnaires anyway, you’re probably better off picking 12 people completely at random, without having to know anything about them. It would get rid of the whole juror picking nonsense. Just pick 12 people and get on with it.

Life lessons are often painful the first time, but much more so if we need to repeat them.

Every day we see examples of the corruption of American Absolute Power, some minor like this judge, some major like the ATF and their Project Gunwalker stonewalling/cover up or obama/Reid/Pelousy"Care" and how it was enacted.

Morality is a good first line of defense, especially if backed by the fear of consequences. Apparently, they are no longer afraid, assuming they ever were.

Obviously it’s “naggers” - what else could it be?

Are we at war with Eurasia or Eastasia? I can’t remember.

We've always been at war with Fantasia, Citizen.

What’s worse, an individual racist or institutional tyranny?


I will take institutional tyranny for $200 Alex!

IMHO this is out of proportion reporting.

I think the judge felt this was an attempt to not serve and so he left her on the list so she had to appear each day anyway. He did not send her back to be chosen again for another jury.

Sometimes the simple answer is the right one??

“Referring to her racist answers, Judge Garaufis sarcastically asked the juror: ‘Why didn't you put Asians down also?’

The woman replied: ‘Maybe I should have.’ “

She should have said: “There were only 3 choices. Had there been 4; “judge” would have been choice number 4”

My wife threatens to do something like this when called for jury duty. This is what is known as a smart alec response and can piss off a judge to no end. Just fill in the box about “Is there any thing else we should know?” with, “I will find it hard to overcome my prejudices about [ethnic group here] people.”
