Yes. I had jury duty this past Monday. The process of selection is a crime in itself. I of course was not selected. You know, educated, white male, married, sucessful career, planned for retirement, you know all those traits they don’t want as a jurist.

AMEN...they want mostly WOMEN.....wonder why?

Years ago I had to serve jury duty. I figured my education and career in engineering would disqualify me.

In June of 2008 I was called to serve jury duty in the county where I reside. Of the approximately 45 people who were called, I was the only one that showed up in a suit and tie. Most others wore shorts or blue jeans, t-shirts, flip flops, etc. When the pool was asked to state their level of education I was the only one in the pool who had a college degree and I was the first one to be dismissed by the attorneys for the defendant.....

Me too. I’ve been called 4 times in the last 5 years nd each time as a white married woman I am dismissed. I guess if you want to serve you can’t open your mouth and let them see that you can think for yourself. The group they chose to serve looked like they were lucky that they were able to dress themselves that morning!
