Unless we talk about Russia in Ukraine or Israel in Palestine. Then apparently it’s just fine. But if I mention “guillotine” and “France” in the same sentence with “corrupt politicians” apparently that’s bad.

I suspect calls for the assassination of specific generals on either side of either of those conflicts would be deemed as violating the rule as well.

I thought it was common knowledge they dismissed jurors for those reasons? Women and African Americans tend to vote a certain way.
