So they know when to allow or dismiss potential jurors depending on what the case involves?

“I haven’t received a jury summons in years.”

How does that happen? I get called every year like clockwork, though it is own fault. Decades ago the DA’s office realized that when they called me in they could get the defendant’s attorney to convince the defendant to take the plea deal during the process of the jury being seated but before the case starts.

You cannot talk about the case after it starts but there is no law about giving your fellow jurors your opinions on criminal behavior while you are all waiting in the hallway before being let in the courtroom.

“If whoever is on trial came from outside of our county to commit a crime here, they need to walk the plank just on principle. Do those crimes in your own neighborhood, not ours.”

“If whoever is on trial lives in this county, they should know that we don’t tolerate criminal behavior. They should be convicted for stupidity.”

“We need to be the balance to the cities letting all the criminals loose on society by convicting and giving the maximum sentence.’

For maximum effect these are said as the defense attorney and their entourage are waltzing through the hall after keeping everyone waiting because they are an hour late. In big cases the defense always has a spy already in the hallway listening to the conversations of potential jurors. Use it to your advantage as they are usually easy to pick out.

Then in the courtroom when added to the jury box I only need to be honest.
“Have you ever been a victim of _insert crime here_?”
“Yes.”
“Can you set aside your feelings and look at the evidence impartially?”
“Yes.”
At this point the defense attorney will try to use one of their exclusions on me only to be told by the judge they have already used all their exclusions. Quick conference between criminal and attorney and then the request to approach the bench. Lots of whispering, everyone sits back down and the judge announces the miscreant has decided to take the plea deal. Judge looks straight at me and says: “I would like to THANK the jury for their time. You are all dismissed.”

I should not have to pay property taxes with all the money I have saved my county on long protracted trials.

What right does some self-appointed authority have to question what bumper stickers you have on your car?

THAT’s how the 1st amendment applies here.

It won't matter if jurors answer the question or not.

We already know that the Deep State is bound and determined to rig the outcome so they will only seat jurors who answer no to this question.

Because they're trying to filter out individuals with biases relevant to the trial from the jury. (At least, that's the idea behind it.)

Also, someone asking what bumper stickers you have on your car as part of a jury selection process is in no way a violation of your 1st Amendment rights (since your freedom of speech is not being "abridged" whatsoever); why do you think it is?

How do I not get called...?

That is a very good question.

Especially since I am, and have always been, a registered Democrat.

So if I’m being weeded out it’s not based on party affiliation, is it.

Wanna bet conservatives aren’t being sent jury summons...

And if people are being filtered out before the process ever gets to voir dire...

As Ultra Sonic pointed out, the judge was asking for information -- that had already been made public at each juror's own discretion -- that would potentially indicate a bias that was directly relevant to the case.

Very good point.

Unfortunately the best and the brightest aren’t judges - with a very few notable exceptions, mostly in the past.

If I were called to duty in that jury I’d wear a pair of Trump’s golden sneakers bedecked with a Hunter Biden painting .

I have just one bumper sticker on my car.
It says: I brake for turtles, frogs and Big Leaves.

Eco-terrorists can’t figure out if I’m one of them or am mocking them.
I do like turtles though.
Sometimes even frogs
and big leaves

In all honesty, I don’t care who you are: if your vehicle is plastered with bumper stickers (regardless of what the stickers themselves say; and I’m not referring to one or three, but to the point where there’s more sticker than car), I wouldn’t want you within a hundred miles of a jury.

If nothing else, because it tends to imply you have plenty of unsolicited opinions and have no problem boasting about them to the world, even if it means distracting the people driving behind you.

(But that’s just my take.)

I have one lone car magnet with a pic of George Washington asking Miss me yet?...

Hmmm, be kinda time consuming to send myrmidobs around looking at bumper stickers, don't you?

'Course, they'd also see my Trump flag...

Do you think that my explain why Pubbie hubby hasn't gotten a jury summons in years, either...

Or maybe Deep State just looks at FEC info...

I'm betting on that last one, actually. It's cheap, easy, and would likely be hard to prove unless someone was dumb enough to leave a computer and/or paper trail.

And I am a Trump donor...

BTW, I'm not on social media. I was on Twitter, but got banned 5 years ago. I'm still banned. So not offering up my unsolicited opinions there, either, am I...

Deep State went looking, didn't they.
