I also agree. Too many of our fundamental rights have
been taken away under our current presidential regime.
If it is now ok to take away our right to our CIVIC
RESPONSIBITIES, then this country is sliding fast down
that slippery slope.

I've never been selected for jury duty, but I think it
would be really fun and interesting. I also realize
that it is a drag, pays 1/7 of minimum wage, and can
be extremely detrimental to your social life. That
being said, if I get selected I might try to get out
of it based on what's going on in my life, but I'll be
damned if I go quietly if they tell me I can't do it
because I don't believe in some god.
