Just reading this interview was enough to tell me she was too ignorant and emotional to serve on any jury.

Can you imagine your fate resting on the decisions someone like this would make???

The woman sounds intoxicated and, considering she’s only 23 and appears to be missing a huge number of teeth, I assume she’s a meth addict as well.

How does a person that can't speak English become a citizen and be picked for jury duty?

Easy, because you are not required to be fluent in English to become a citizen. The English writing portion of the "test" goes like this. Write: "My name is Juan." To top it off you are allowed to have a translator with you. When I went for my test, half the room couldent speak English. This needs to be fixed. Perhaps, Juan McAmnesty has a plan for it.

MOST judges are “expletive deleted”... but being in court is not the time to voice that. The time to voice that is when (like in my state) you’re at the ballot box and the thingie says “Retain Judge So and So” you chose NO.

I'd like to ask the judge, but he'd probably hold me in contempt for "racism" or "xenophobia."

On the other hand, perhaps it’s just as well that this woman isn’t on the jury. She doesn’t exactly sound as if she has the wisdom of Solomon.

“I’m very sorry for calling you that. I did not know it was illegal, and I did not mean to cause disrespect,” she said.

Right. She thought "a-hole" was no different than "your honor".

No Job.
No Money.
No immediate ailments.
No responsibilities whatsoever.

And as far as Jury Duty,,,,, she just didn’t feel like it!

Good, I wouldn’t want her deciding ANYONE’S fate! Even her own!

While she may deserve the sentence, judges are entirely a law unto themselves. They control their own police force, the bailiff, they act as the judge against those they accuse and they can send people immediately to jail with out any check or balance from another branch of government.

Well, she could just have a really poor sense of judgment when it comes to boyfriends, you know, getting hit in the mouth a lot.

I know you’re going to LOVE this. After one takes the oath of citizenship, one gets a form mailed to one’s house asking in which language one would like voter registration information. Cool, huh? Somebody ought to remind those folks - e pluribus UNUM.

Isn't that just what Jesse said to Obama in this morning's "apology?"

23-year-old insulted the presiding judge by calling him a two-syllable curse word—a crude term referring to the anus

She called him a "Michael Moore"?

Most judges are a$$holes. She probably needs to learn to keep her mouth shut though.
