2. I get your point, but it's always an honor to serve on a jury

Jury service is a fundamental part of our judicial system: A jury of one's peers.

I've served on four juries, three criminal (2 convictions and 1 acquittal) and one civil (the parties settled during deliberations). Every judge made certain that we jurors understood how important our participation is to the fulfillment of our Constitutional system. Each time, I felt that I had been a critical part of making our country work as it was designed. I will always serve when called.

Still, wouldn't it feel great to vote to indict Trump?!
