Your post #54 ("When they ask you what beyond a reasonable doubt is, raise your hand and say "I cannot tell you what it is, but I know it when I see it.") That should get you thrown off immediately. Sounds to me like you were looking for ways to make sure you were not picked, or were you coaching others in ways to not be picked?

I have been on jury duty three times since 2008. All I have to do is show up.
If they pick me or not is up to them. Besides, I was sort of being facetious.
You would sort of have to be aware of Supreme Court history to see I was a bit tongue and cheek with the comment. Moreover, everyone else there is throwing out excuses as to why they cannot be on jury duty. I never coached anyone when I was there. I just answered all the questions posed to me. And no I did not use the famous quote.
The Fair Tax would be a disaster of the first order for this nation. Any opinions given by a proponent of such a system must be taken with a huge grain of salt.
