    That would depend on how many had their businesses damaged or destroyed by the shut down, looting and rioters the Democrats allowed to do.

    Excellent question and it reveals you are thinking hard about this.

    There is a federal district court in oregon. It covers the state, not just the city-that would be a city or county court.

    Jurors are selected from all over the state.

    About Federal Court Jury Service
    Jury service is one of the most important civic duties you can perform. The protection of rights and liberties in federal courts is largely achieved through the teamwork of a judge and jury.

    The United States District Court for the District of Oregon randomly selects citizens' names every two years from lists of registered voters who live in the district. The people randomly selected are required to complete a Qualification Questionnaire to help determine if they are qualified to serve on a jury. Those found qualified are added to the Qualified Jury Wheel and are eligible to be randomly chosen for jury duty during a two-year period. This selection process helps to make sure that jurors represent a cross section of the community, without regard to race, gender, national origin, age, or political affiliation.

    Receiving a Summons for Jury Service does not guarantee that a person will actually serve on a jury. When a jury is needed for a trial, a randomly selected group of jurors will be sent a Summons for Jury Service and will be required to respond to the Summons for Jury Service electronically or by mail. Jurors who receive a Summons for Jury Service may be required to report to the courthouse for jury selection. Jurors who are required to report to the courthouse for jury selection will go through juror orientation and will be taken to the courtroom where the trial will take place. The judge and the attorneys then ask the potential jurors questions to determine their suitability to serve on the jury, a process called voir dire.

    The purpose of voir dire is to exclude from the jury people who may not be able to decide the case fairly. Members of the panel who know any person involved in the case, who have information about the case, or who may have strong prejudices about the people or issues involved in the case, typically will be excused by the judge. The attorneys also may exclude a certain number of jurors without giving a reason.

    Types of Cases Heard by Juries
    There are two types of judicial proceedings in the federal courts that use juries.

    1. Criminal trial: An individual is accused of committing a crime that is a violation of federal criminal law. Twelve people, and alternates, make up a criminal jury. A unanimous decision must be reached before a defendant is found "guilty." The government must prove the crime was committed "beyond a reasonable doubt."
    2. Civil trial: Litigants seek remedies for grievances between private parties. At least six people make up a civil jury. The standard of proof is a "preponderance of the evidence" or "more true than not."
    Working Together: Judge and Jury
    The judge determines the appropriate law that should be applied to the case, and the jury finds the facts in the case based on what is presented to them during the proceedings. At the end of a trial, the judge instructs the jury on the applicable law. While the jury must obey the judge's instructions as to the law, the jury alone is responsible for determining the facts of the case.

    Similar to the West Coast states of California and Washington, Oregon has a high percentage of people who identify as liberals. A 2013 Gallup poll that surveyed the political ideology of residents in every state found that people in Oregon identified as:[25]

    Another study on the state's political ideology noted that the state's conservatives were the most conservative of any state (more so than Utah or Tennessee) and that the state's liberals were more liberal than any state (more so than Vermont or D.C.).[26]

    Also, it must be considered that the feds to not waste time, money, or energy on cases they don't think can be won.

    “We should not confuse that with those looting and committing acts of violence.”

    Failure on the part of Democrats to reject hate and show us that there was a better way. Turns out for all of their accusations they too appeal more to the base than to Americans.

    Sad. It’s time for a president who doesn’t blame everything on someone else. Leaders lead. Losers blame

    A president who leads would find words to heal, instead we have a child who blames everyone for his failures

    Dems have done nothing to find words to heal, and instead inflame partisan tensions

    Yes she did, while being asked about the riots she purposefully ignored them in order to support protests. That is conflating them, her sneaky way to support them.

    Lets simplify matters. Trump's an evil man causing all of this hatred and division right? Then surely Democrats should be able to show love and benevolence, and that'll defeat Trump right? There's one thing missing from the equation: Where's their love and benevolence?

    Dems have supported the riots, and condemned those just reasonably trying to defend themselves from the blm and antifa terrorists. Making this much worse.

    It needs to come from the WH. But we elected a troll, not a leader.

    Answer the question: There's a sure fire way to defeat Donald Trump, why haven't they embraced it given that Trump is the embodiment of hatred?

    Agreed, and that's why we can't have a return to the Obama/Biden regime tactics.....they were blaming Bush for their double digit UE two years after he left office!
