So, I guess you are unfamiliar with the jury system. One of the first questions asked is if there is any reason that you should be excused.

Citizen Juries are the cornerstone of the American Justice System. Without Citizen Juries we become French.

Jury duty is not voluntary. It is an obligation that all citizens have, just because they are citizens. Every jury in the land is composed of citizens who were called on to do their duty to justice.

What is your problem?

Juries are treated like dirt, lead and molded in their opinion by corrupt judges and lawyers, and grossly overused. The lawyer industry has flooded the courts with fake civil cases, only to make vast fortunes for the shysters. The courts have failed and jury duty has a lot to do with this.

Do you really think that a carefully crafted group of trailer trash and urban welfare morons should decide the complexities of a bogus multi-billion class action suit, where the plaintiff lawyers make vast fortunes and the alleged plaintiffs get worthless coupons?

And the final summary of modern juries: "OJ"

"What is your problem?"

Probably that for many people, myself included, the idea of being asked to show up and sit around all day while the trial lawyers try to find the "right" mix of people is an insult. I would gladly serve on a jury if I knew that there would be no "voir dire" to exclude jurors with an iota of common sense.

I shredded my last jury summons, and never heard from the court. They can't prove that you got it unless they sent it registered mail. Mail theft is a big problem in some cities, you know.

How is a "Citizen Jury"(R) incompatible with voluntary service?

What is your problem?

My goodness I feel like I am on some Liberal board with a bunch of candy as*ses who don't understand the mandatory duty of serving on a jury.

Don't your dumb SOB's ever complain of McDonalds having to pay for spilled coffee, don't you ever complain that the Justice Dept isn't doing their job regardless of who the President may be, in fact don't you EVER complain about anything because your too stupid to have a worthwhile opinion on subjects that concern responsibilty, ethics or love of country.
