Rush pulling the racism card on the judge lady?

Wait, don't we disqualify people from serving on juries for trials of certain crimes if they themselves have been victims of that crime? Like, for example, not letting rape victims sit on a jury for a rape trial. If that is the case, how would it be different for a judge than for a juror?

Edit: Also, I kind of disagree with her quote. I don't think people need to have been on the receiving end of something to know it's bad. To the best of my memory Lincoln was never a slave. Common sense and empathy (one of Obama's major requirements for appointees) are pretty much all that's needed.
