I think the judge was right. There are legitimate excuses from jury duty. A jury trial is one of the corner stones of our legal system.

Of course the judge was right.

Since the end of the draft, I think jury service is the only time that our government demands a citizen's personal services. But, for some people even that is apparently too much to ask.

Please explain the moral distinction between the draft, jury "duty" and slavery. (Other than who is the slavemaster.)

What about all the taxes and regulations there are on the citizens? We're already serfs at this point.

Amendment XIII

Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Seems pretty clear to me.
