I always get disqualified for juries because my stepfather works for the DA. I want to put niggers in prison too!  :(

Oh and the brochure they gave me said that you can't asked to be excused on the basis of any identity thing like race, religion, sexual orientation, etc. Additionally it said that you don't really need to have a great grasp of English to be a juror.
I think that is incorrect as far as religion goes. The church I was raised in forbids jury duty and I would have heard if it couldn't be excused in California or anywhere else in North America

This communist anti-justice religion must be bloodily purged from our shores!

I got a registration notice the other day. Ticked the "lawyer" box and sent it back.  :D

Why shouldn't a lawyer serve on a jury?  That whole pesky "knowledge of the law" thing?  :huh:

I think the fear is that other members of the jury would be unduly influenced by the professional.

Having served on a jury I can tell you that anyone with a brain can 'unduly influence' the other members.  :cool:

Why would you equate justice with any process that involves a jury?
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

If it was good enough for my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great Saxon Grandfather it should be good enough for Max's religion :angry:

I for one am glad for living in an oppressive totalitarian state where we have no juries, and court rulings are handed down from on high by unelected wisemen.  :cool:

It's actually a copy of the German model, so Hans should be happy with it.

Oh I see.  It is not unelected God-Emperorness when Germans do it.
