Ok, that's kinda funny, but also a definite abuse of power. She's being punished for her thoughts, and being honest about them on a questionnaire.

Actually the Judge rescinded his order, and explained that his umbrage was the result of his impression that the woman's answers were lies, intended to make herself seem so unsuitable for jury duty that she would be excused. His intention was not to punish her for the thoughts expressed, but for expressing thoughts that would cause anyone to excuse her from serving.
How he could be so sure of that, I don't know. W. |

I say good for the judge. Sure serving on a jury can be a hassle but it's a duty that we all must face. To be so stupid as she was. She certainly deserved what the Judge had ordered.

Interesting.
The N-word is indeed censored. But I can call Danny Doyle a Mick all I want, and the Café doesn't care. Go figure. |

N is for numskull - and any who would use the color of their skin to excuse their bigotry.
