I agree. I think this is one concept our founding fathers thought was very important for every man to have the right to disagree w what government at any level does w/o fear of retaliation. I don't think we can fault the foundings fathers for not having the forethought to account for paid interviews by jurors - such a thing did not exist! Perhaps this really needs to be contemplated - do we, the American ppl, believe jurors should be able to profit from their "civil duty" as a juror?
