I agree…. Where are the feminazis? I think she should have asked the judge if the problem could simply be solved by quietly breastfeeding the child while she sat listening to testimony with the other jurors….and all the diaper changes could be made during the many breaks in the proceedings.

Practical issues like nursing babies are why women were exempt from jury duty from the beginning of time until the 1970s in many states. It might seem odd that feminists at places like the American Civil Liberties Union led the fight to deny women the right to be excused from jury duty because of family responsibilities. But it's consistent with feminist goals, which are Marxist, rather than pro-female or pro-liberty.

The goal of requiring female jury duty—and combat duty—is to break open the family to the claws of the state. It's to make the household a temporary grouping, instead of an autonomous unit that governs itself, and to make every person, including small children, individually subject to state authority. This statist religion requires that no decision be too private to be subject to the review and intervention of the state. And that the state be subject to no one.

Certain mistrial.

When one is serving on a jury their undivided attention is required.
