Jury duty is an important civic duty. Do you want to be judged by a jury of retards?

If it's so important, then jurors should at least get paid minimum wage.

In some states, you get paid $5 a day for jury duty. Most people can't afford to miss work for that.

Here in cali your employer has to pay for you in full for time spent during jury duty. I've been hoping to get selected for a while now.

You basically get paid so you can have lunch.

Well given a large part of the US seems to be populated by retards, that grand juries are mostly dog and pony shows, and that lawyers tend to select jurors incapable of forming an independent thought, I don't see me showing up to sit in a basement for three days making much of a difference.

Lol why not they already make all our laws anyway!

I jest I jest ... but seriously I have done regular jury duty in the past and that was not quite as overwhelming and drawn out as this grand jury process seems to be, so I am not saying it isn't an imprtant process, just not a very efficiently run or well managed one is all.

Fair enough. People dodging jury duty is one of my pet peeves.
