It is certainly possible <br>  <br> to convert all courts to use an all volunteer jury system. Try to <br>  <br> imagine volunteers choosing a courthouse and starting week to begin serving <br>  <br> on a jury. In the legislative version of an all volunteer jury system <br>  <br> volunteers do not have to choose individual trials with a conflict of <br>  <br> interest but only choose the courthouse and starting week. <br>  <br>  The question is when is the best time to introduce the bill to abolish <br>  <br> mandatory jury duty. Do you really want to wait until a second Viet-Nam <br>  <br> war reinstates the U.S. military draft and drafts and hurts and kills <br>  <br> millions of American young men ?? <br>  <br>  If politicians or voters <br>  <br> hurry up and get an all volunteer jury system passed right <br>  <br> away that will put out the pilot light so it will no longer be possible <br>  <br> to restart the U.S. military draft. If you do not want another U.S. <br>  <br> military draft and a losable war to go with it try to get an all volunteer <br>  <br> jury system passed now in order to preserve the all volunteer U.S. <br>  <br> military. <br>  <br> <a href=\"mailto:ericmatteson2001@yahoo.com\" rel=\"nofollow\">ericmatteson2001@yahoo.com<\/a> ( A Voter !!!! ) <br>  <br>   <br>  <br> <\/p>\n","contact":"ericmatteson2001@yahoo.com","link":"","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/plain","summary":"When old people are required to serve on juries some of them advocate requiring young people\r\nto serve in the U.S. military.\r\n","numcomment":0,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/","filesize":null,"article_url":"\/news\/2014\/10\/266272.php"},"attachments":[],"comments":[]}
