State Judge: Bush can ignore his civic duty.

State District Judge Ralph Strother said he expects to get a response about the summons but doesn't expect Bush to report for duty.

"I don't think I'll be sending the sheriff out to bring the president in," said Strother, a Republican who has a grandson serving in Iraq. "It seems to me that the president has plenty of things to occupy his attention. Jury duty is a very important civic function, but running the country, I think, especially in wartime, takes priority over jury service."

I guess it's not what you do; it's who you are.

Meanwhile, someone's arthritic grandma will be forced to sit all day in an uncomfortable jury chair because she's not one of the important people.

Roger Clinton gets an undeserved pardon; Dubya gets a pass on jury duty.
