In my city, once you are called for jury duty and fulfill the obligation, you get a certificate that says that you have served and need not ever serve again in that jurisdiction for the rest of your life. Anybody else had similar experience. Anybody know if this is the case for the "Bridgeview court in suburban Chicago"?

In Colorado, if you report when called, you drop to the bottom of the list. Thus, you are not likely to get called till three to five years later.

Obama needs to be in a courthouse tried and convicted for
treason. Did I say that?? lol

[Red Badger]

He’s a lawyer, so he’s ineligible..................

He is a busy man. Perhaps he can get off on a technicality, like showing he is not a citizen or something. I’m just trying to maintain his productivity so that he does not waste precious hours away from the people’s business.

[YouPosting2Me]

As a defendant or for jury duty? :)

[Responsibility2nd]

I believe Obama should not be required to serve on a jury.

Instead he should FACE one.

The first time I had jury duty, I was told at the end that I wouldn’t be called again for at least two years. The second time was 6 or 7 years later and I wasn’t told afterwards how long it would be before they could call me again.

When I had jury duty, I had to present my driver license to prove it was really me showing up. I wonder of Barry Soretoro Dunham Hussein Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Obama will have to.

In most Texas counties, they take you off the list for some period. But after that, it's a random draw. You could get picked again in the same year. My wife did. She was picked for two panels, but then the parties settled out of court at the last minute. She also was called for federal jury duty, something I've never been. I have been called 6 times since '77 when I first moved to Texas. The frequency of being called seems higher in the lower population counties. I've lived 4 counties in that period. One of them, Bexar, is highly urbanized (San Antonio), another was fringe suburban at the time (now no longer on the fringe), the other two mixed small city and rural. Procedures similar in all. Bexar was the biggest pain, because of parking. OTOH, they had a cafeteria and you could go have breakfast while they were picking the panels from the folks who had reported for the pool that day.

In California, you can get called once a year. I just served as a juror on a civil case, so I can't get called again until next November. Unless the feds want me. That's never happened to me, although my wife got a federal summons a few years ago. In that case, she had to call in every evening to see if they needed her the next day, but the week went by and she never had to go in.

They seem to call me every two years or so.

Based on what he does, I don’t think he any justification to be excused.

[napscoordinator]

That’s kinda funny. In the military, we can get our Commander to write a letter saying that operational commitment keeps us from attending the jury duty. I guess the President can write his own letter stating something similiar.

[GraceG]

I wonder which of his many SSN numbers was selected for Jury duty????

[brewcrew]

Aww, c’mon! Can’t we get him sequestered for three years or so?

[EternalVigilance]

Check his credentials at the door.

[kenmcg]

He probably would have known the defendant which would have gotten him off.

[JD91]

Can't he just send the teleprompters!
