Been heading that way for a while - been a few years since a SCOTUS "babe" announced that international law should be considered when judging "constitutionality" of cases.

Welcome to the place that knows a lot and can turn you into a politics/religion/social-issue junky too.

Well said, hyphen-Americans just don’t seem serious to me either...

Good thing for Obama they didn’t try to pass this when he was a student at Occidental College, or he might have had to serve on a jury.

That’s one way for illegals to get a jury of their criminal peers.

Auto-damn-matically a mistrial. In the US, non-citizens are NOT any citizen’s peers.

Can you imagine NOT appealing on those grounds?

“Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t jury duty selections drawn from the voter rolls? Kinda proves the point that illegals are voting out there.”

In Kali they also use DMV records for jury call up records. You need to keep the summons that shows you were called in the previous year so as to stop a visit from the “system”. Its easy to get off the jury in SF. Just profess a belief in capital punishment and carry your own Bible if you are called up in the Voire Dire process. You usually get bounced out of the jury pool then you are free to go.

The “I no speaky Engrish” crowd is going to be pretty mad at that. That is how they all get out of jury duty.

Sat behind an old Asian guy and his daughter whispering in English. The Clerk calls his name from the jury pool to sit as an alternate on the Jury. Pa and Daughter approach the bench and the Daughter says, “My father doesn’t speak any English”.

Dismissed. Simple as that.

As long as you are not white, all you need is a liar in the family to perjur herself in court and deny you speak the common “Engrish”.

I use to have high hopes that immigrants would save us because the would appreciate the huge difference between the freedom they have and the oppression they left.

Nope. Most are ingrates that take advantage of the freedom they now have, while voting for all the socialism they left.

US immigrants used to assimilate. Now they colonize.

You know damn well what is happening to you are county. It is declining toward fall. You are losing your country. We are racing toward soft socialism on the way to totalitarian tyranny. We are becoming England, on the way to Italy, ending with Russia.

You know exactly what is happening to this country. The heartbreaking question is “how do we stop it”? Because their is no stopping it. Our UN loving masters who are at the core of the New World Order takeover, are among the most vehement in orchestrating our collapse.

We are being hanged by our own rope we made.

Imagine letting foreigners, maybe even illegal aliens, sit in judgement of American citizens.

That should be chilling.

She wasn’t getting paid from her employer for jury duty and was already working two jobs trying to make ends meet.
It was the final act of disobedience.

"...supported by the Democratic Party and liberal Republicans."

I believe that's the first time I've ever seen that phrase in a news article. 'Course, we use it all the time here, but I just think it's interesting that someone in the media has taken notice too.
