So I get a summons to appear for jury duty last week. It said I have to wear a mask all day in court. Guess I’ll be doing jail time because I’m not wearing a mask for anyone !

With a translator of courseMaybe they can get a border crosser to replace you
Umm- it's NM, I doubt translation is requiredWith a translator of course
You need to understand that being an American means sometimes you’re going to be asked to do things you don’t want to do or things you don’t agree with. But if this mask thing is where you draw the line then I feel sorry for you.So I get a summons to appear for jury duty last week. It said I have to wear a mask all day in court.

Your point is not lost on me but keep in mind, your grandfathers, your two uncles, and your dad fought so the OP could have the freedom to draw that line. What is currently, and has been, mandated on our society over the last several years has crossed a line imo.You need to understand that being an American means sometimes you’re going to be asked to do things you don’t want to do or things you don’t agree with. But if this mask thing is where you draw the line then I feel sorry for you.
Try to remember that there are generations of Americans that had to endure more hardship than what you’re dealing with. Both my grandfathers, two of my uncles, and my dad got letters from the government. Fortunately it wasn’t to fulfill a duty that required a mask, but they had to go to war.
Take a moment to put things in perspective and I’m sure you will see it is not that big of a deal. Then at the end of the day after you have done your job you can rant and rave about how dumb it was, but at least you did your job.
And good luck in the draw since this is a hunting forum.
Drew the line there DAY ONE!You need to understand that being an American means sometimes you’re going to be asked to do things you don’t want to do or things you don’t agree with. But if this mask thing is where you draw the line then I feel sorry for you.

I dutifully where a mask whenever I am asked by a business or gov't entity. I don't throw a fit, I don't make a protest.You need to understand that being an American means sometimes you’re going to be asked to do things you don’t want to do or things you don’t agree with.

4 years military service, my families military goes back to the civil war, we still have letters that were sent home from relatives in that war. Pretty amazing to read them.Grand pa was with Gen Patton for 3 years, Dad spent a year in Vietnam, My son is active Army Green Beret 15 years, got out and went back in, Ive seen some of the guys he served with on the 6 oclock news after they were KIA, multiple combat deployments, my niece is an Arabic translator working for the DOD in the Middle East right now and that’s all she has ever told me about her job.I get the patriotic thing but Im not wearing a mask !You need to understand that being an American means sometimes you’re going to be asked to do things you don’t want to do or things you don’t agree with.

Just for the record, I don't actively seek to get out of jury duty. And I am a working class professional. However, I am blatantly honest. I cannot lie when the attorneys ask me questions regarding my past dealings with unscrupulous lying unethical attorneys. Including some that represented me. Nor the liberal judges that screwed me simply trying to recover my owed rent. These are simply the fact of the matter, with a very large sample size. Incident after incident unethical illegal behavior. Oh, forgot the one that claimed he had an accountant on staff, when it turned out he didn't, and was totally unqualified to take my case. That dude had the gall to steal $3,500 of the retainer from me and laugh in my face. He did zero in a month. Guy was unbelievable. Can't act like that didn't happen. Facts are facts.Another thing is "we" all want to get out of jury duty, yet generally intelligent working class professionals are exactly the type of people we need on juries! When "everyone" tries to get out of serving we're often left with a bunch of deadbeats that get to decide the fate or consequences of our justice system...
Let’s compare apples to apples.We all get to chose the laws, regulations, rules and statutes we want comply with.
The person who chooses not to comply with Game & Fish laws can draw a line with the same convictions.
I would have served had the attorneys selected me. But I was not going to lie when they asked me screening questions. I swore I'd answer honestly, and I did. They are the ones that didn't like my answers. It was their choice I didn't serve, not mine. Pretty much boils down to that.Yeah, masks weren't a "law"...
And I wasn't accusing anyone of intentionally trying to get out of jury duty, but my wife told me the excuses people were coming up with during her interviews. People had the lamest reasons as to why they couldn't serve their civic duty. Agree one can't lie or answer incorrectly when asked questions that you feel strongly about.
Which law mandates mask wearing? I'd love to read it.We all get to chose the laws, regulations, rules and statutes we want comply with.
