Those calls came after numerous media outlets reported potentially identifying biographical information about the woman, including her job and the neighborhood she called home. Fox News Jesse Watters highlighted the juror's details while reading through public pool notes about the selected members. "This nurse scares me if I'm Trump," Watters said.

How the fuck is this legal?

If they face no consequences, it’s legal! Ish. Y’know.

Anything that doesn't have consequences is legal.

There are loads of people who believe this and I think that sometimes folks need to remember that's reality.

Shithead antisocial people exist - that's why there must be consequences up to and including violence (if that's all someone can understand).

what the fuck does any of this have to do with antisocial people?

They could be meaning it in a UK kind of way. They have anti-social behaviour orders and such. Slightly different meaning than someone who doesn't like people.

Because the goal is to declare this a mistrial. Break as many rules as possible, get thrown in contempt, etc. Because those will be MUCH smaller penalties/fines and will drag out the clock until after the election.

Whereas grinning and bearing it lets the courts actually try to get some semblance of justice.
