I get their point, and the judges actions should be looked at thru proper channels and review boards. However what I don’t get is why they’re not being cited and jailed for contempt of court. Imagine if jurors nationwide were permitted to simply look at the judge’s record, find something to complain about, and then tell him, sorry no, when called for jury duty. Can you imagine the results to the court system? Once word get’s out that it works, everyone will have a get-out-of-jury-duty free card. Plus, I’d love to see how devoted they are to their cause. Are you so invested that you’d risk prison? Being outraged is easy, anyone can do that.
“At least 10 prospective jurors are now refusing to serve the judge who sentenced Brock Turner, a former Stanford University swimmer sentenced to six months in jail last week for sexually assaulting an unconscious woman on campus.
Turner was sentenced last week for assault with intent to rape an intoxicated woman and sexually penetrating an intoxicated and unconscious person with a foreign object. Prosecutors recommended that Turner be sentenced to six years in prison, but Judge Aaron Persky handed down a sentence of six months, saying a longer sentence would have a “severe impact” on the 20-year-old. Supporters of the victim have harshly criticized the sentence as too lenient, and a Stanford law professor is leading a recall campaign against Persky.
While lawyers were selecting jury members for Persky’s new case, which is unrelated to Turner, prospective jurors told Persky, “I can’t believe what you did,” and “I can’t be here, I’m so upset,” according to the San Jose Mercury News. In each case, Persky replied with “I understand” and excused the upset juror.”

That should have been followed up by “Bailiff, take the juror into custody for contempt of court.”

Here is a good article by Krauthammer on Paul Ryan and the tough choices he faced.

I would have loved for him to have refused to endorse Trump. However, Krauthammer makes some good points about the action he took.
