Those that would say it's OK must not have much of a life, or any responsibilities.

Well, we all appreciate how important you must think you are. Imagine not being around at all.

Two weeks?

Have you ever served on Grand Jury duty?

Well, I have two kids and live paycheck to paycheck. My wife and I juggle many-a-myriad-tasks. All of which would suffer if I was sequestered.

But...

I'd do it. Of course, my opinion might be colored by the fact that my last job was 1 block south of the World Trade Center South. It's also colored by the fact that this sort of thing is part and parcel of your citizenship.

Oh, and by the way, I did not take any unemployment benefits, or aid, because I found it repugnant to do so. There are more who are deserving. I did not die. (Obviously)

You made my points; I am worth as much as this chair I'm sitting on, and can be bounced for any reason once I'm no longer of use.

I am a single parent, with no local family; so my kid and bills would be SOL because the feds decide that it's OK to move me out of existance. No, it's just not reasonable nor legal, no matter what the 'law' says.

I've served on three juries, one for three weeks and got sequestered for four days (and we found him guilty); but everyone knew where I was, and why.

Citizens have Rights; the government has Privileges. Don't get them confused, as Privileges should never overide Rights, absent a valid, constitutional restriction to those Rights.
