I think Part 1, Section 3, Articles 4 & 5 disqualifies her. (IMO)
If jury service at the time for which you are summoned will cause hardship, you may request deferral of service to another time within the next ten months. If you need to seek a deferral, you should do so as soon as possible. Do not wait until the time you are to appear. To reschedule your jury service, follow the instructions for question #12 on the Jury Questionnaire. If you have already sent in your questionnaire, call the jury clerk as soon as possible for instructions.
I did this just last week for Park County. I sent an e-mail to the Clerk and said I would be on vacation duting the month of July. Got a reply that same day that said no problem & I was bumbed out till sometime after August.
Do we really want a leader that is not smart enough to get out of Jury Duty?
Look, we’ll be the first to agree that the media isn’t all Ted Koppels. A traveling press pack can seem like a bunch of circus clowns. (Remember the astronaut movie “The Right Stuff”? A comedic theater troupe was cast as the Permanent Press Corps.) But we think that in this case, Palin protesteth a bit too much.
She announces her bus tour, hits a number of prominent East Coast spots without advertising her plans, and then disappears, without bothering to update the web page that’s supposedly chronicling her travels for supporters.
We get that she does not care to hand feed the media her schedule. But if you’re a political star and you make a big deal about something and then vanish, the press is going to fill that news vacuum for you. To complain about that is like complaining that the dogs ate the steaks you left in the yard overnight.
