DC:
Former President Barack Obama has been called for jury duty in Cook County, Illinois, and he says he plans to fulfill his civic duty by reporting and, if actually chosen, serving.
“He made it crystal-clear to me through his representative that he would carry out his public duty as a citizen and resident of this community,” Cook County Circuit Court chief judge Timothy C. Evans told the Chicago Tribune on Friday.
Obama is eligible to serve on a Cook County jury because owns a large, elegant home in Chicago’s Kenwood neighborhood. (Obama also owns a second large and even more elegant home in Washington, D.C.)
Maybe he can pervert justice again
The liar would be able to hang a jury!
that crazy Barry……a stickler for performing his civic duty!
He should be a shoe-in; defense attorneys like low-IQ jurors.
JUDGE: “How say you ladies and gentlemen of the jury?”
FOREMAN: “Eleven ‘Guilty’ and one ‘Present’.”
And both homes have large elegant fences!
Golly gee and I thought that only citizens could serve on juries!
Yeah, sure, if I were facing trial in Cook County, I’d definitely want Barky on my jury. Yup, he’s a peer, all right. Uh-huh.
As a white person I’d just shat my britches if I saw him in the jury box.
Wasn’t Obummer the jury foreman in California when OJ Simpson walked after committing the heinous murder of two people!
How Obama responded to his jury summons
“As the first African Ammerican to be elected and then re-elected to the office of President, I will be happy to show up to fulfill my duty to my community
I have no doubt that my mere presence in the jury assembly room will provide a ray of hope to all my fellow African American citizens whose prospects for justice have been brutally crushed by the incendiary racist and divisive rhetoric of our current president
I’m sure he is looking forward to being sequestered in a jury room for weeks with eleven people that lost their doctors and saw their health insurance premiums increase under Obamacare.
I hope the other jurors bring the Obama-meter with them.
That should be a pretty easy dismissal based on his history.
That’s great. I hope they start summoning him like clockwork like they do me.
They’d summon Mooch for duty, but no animals are allowed in public buildings (except service dogs).
Jury selection… Mr. Soetoro, where were you born?
I thought only citizens can serve on a jury…
If true and he gets as far as jury selection, I have a dollar that says he gets struck in voir dire for being too distracting or something along those lines.
Can you imagine how much the SS would get in the way for security reasons? Too much circus.
Excuse the SOB, he’ll corrupt the whole system. What’s left of it.
Duh, what am I saying?
How is he going to sit on a criminal case when 80 percent of the defendants are his sons?
Oh dear lord! Don’t make him the jury foreman! That SOB would manage to make the jury’s delivery of the verdict all about him.
I wonder if he’ll get a 1099 for the bribe the plaintiff’s lawyer has already paid the Commissioner of Jurors to ensure a “proper” verdict?
is this from the Onion?
How could this be? his dummass and ignorant opinion would sway the other jurors because of his notoriety.
Might be fun to get him in a courtroom full of White Conservatives without his posse for backup.
Both attorneys will agree to have to removed from the jury pool because he’s untrustworthy.
By the end of the trial, Obama will be the judge, giving long speeches on a teleprompter, and eventually side with the minority.
Lawyers screen the jury applicants:
Anyone here ever smoke marijuana?
Anyone ever lie?
Anyone ever had a family member have their law license revoked?
(Obama sweats)
I wasn’t aware that non citizens could partake in jury duty.
Black Jesus has no peers to sit on a jury with, just himself and 11 mirrors..judge better wear shades..
He wouldn’t be able to shut his me mouth, Judge’d kick him out in a heartbeat.
If I were the defendant, I’d demand my attorney use up a peremptory challenge on him.
