Today I received a juror qualification questionnaire for the United States District Court, Northern District of Texas (Fort Worth)!!!

One of the advisories:

"If you do not submit the fully completed questionnaire within ten days, you may be summoned to report, at your expense, to complete the questionnaire at this office. If you fail to appear you may be fined $1,000, imprisoned not more than three days, ordered to perform community service, or any combination thereof."

FedGov really phuked up when they sent that to me, 'cause I'm going to show up and hopefully let off some poor sap who got squeezed by FedGov!!!

Go baby!!!!!

Wear your best suit and answer the questions the way they want. Get on that panel. When the case goes to deliberation, dead lock the sucker. I don't give a rip what h/she did, dead lock it. There *has* to be reasonable doubt if you look hard enough. Rather than duck these opportunities, lets do the right thing.

My dream is to get on a trial where somebody is exercising their Second Amendment rights against one of the numerous unconstitutional laws that violate the SA.

That, or an IRS case. You would have a ball with either.

It has always been one of my dreams to serve as a juror on a tax case. I could either educate the rest of the jurors and turn the innocent loose or, if they refused to be educated, I could still hang 'em. Of course a good gun case would be ok too.

I, too, have that lovely dream.

I got to hang a jury once. And that was on a speeding ticket.

Are you trying to make with green with envy, James?

Were the other jurors all red faced and angry? Or were you able to bring a few around to your point of view?

The other jurors were none too happy with me. Told me they had better things to do. I told them I could be doing other things too but if they had really important things they needed to look after they should have considered that when they were asked if there was any reason why they couldn't serve. And that I could sit there saying not guilty as long as they sat there and said guilty. I asked them if there was any one among them who never had "violated the speed limit(s)" and there wasn't one. I freely admitted that I had too and no doubt would again, but that I would not condemn someone else for doing something I did on a more or less regular basis, at least not when they had not harmed anyone. I told them that if the guy had had an accident and hurt or killed someone else or damaged the property of other people I would be the first one to vote guilty but since the state had not produced a body or injured party I had to conclude that no crime was committed and would vote accordingly. I don't know that I made any friends but I wasn't there trying to win a popularity contest.

Thank you. I wish the judges were required to tell the jurors one thing and one thing only--that they had the right to judge not only the facts in the case but whether, in their opinion, the law in question is just and reasonable. And that if they didn't believe it was they had the right and the duty to "just say no." Not that any of them will ever willingly do that but it is one of my dreams.

What I have never understood is why it is always presumed that everyone knows "the law" when they are charged with violating one (or more) of what must be hundreds of thousands of "laws" on the books but is automatically assumed to be ignorant of the law when chosen to serve on a jury. Seems the government likes to have it both ways depending on what they perceive to be in the interests of the government and their revenues, etc.

Wouldn't that be legislating from the bench. Isn't that what we hate about the Supreme Court? Be careful what you wish for...

It just seem to fit the budget mess CA is going through right now.
