Sen. Orrin Hatch's (R) return to his home state of Utah during the congressional recess included an unexpected stop. 

Hatch was selected for jury duty, he tweeted Monday:

I'll be speaking to the students in Dan Jones' #UofU class this morning then off to Jury Duty. Do you think I'll be chosen? #utpol

Hatch isn't the first high-profile federal official to be called for jury duty this year. Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan was spotted in a pool of pot! ential jurors in a Washington, D.C., Superior Court in January.
