In Texas local judges are elected. Maybe state level, too? Houston is famous for the Dems winning all offices with straight party voting and the unqualified hack judges that brought in. Some are just plain dumb dumbs. Many bad decisions. Releasing violent criminals without bail. I remember a judge let a murderer of his teen girlfriend get pretrial release. Pretty bad when even the Dem national news thinks it is story.

UP probably got railroaded by a woke judge and the typical jury of idiots. Smart productive people find a way to get out of serving. So the jury pool is dominated by unemployed, underemployed, retirees, postal workers and other prime targets of Dem myths. Stick it to the big bad corporations that have held you down!
