Thread: No Appeals

In Suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise reexamined in any Court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.

Watchya think?? I am listening to Alex Jones with Red Beckman, he made some fascinating points. The supreme court in NOT the highest court of the land, a simple trial by jury is!!!

What madness is this, now?

According to the constitution there shall be no appeals, the supreme court is out of bounds hearing cases from a lower court if said case was adjudicated by a jury.

After you finish calling the US Supreme Court and letting them in on your revelation let us know what they say.

I am going to mail them a copy of the constitution and highlight the 7th for them. It is clear as a bell, but thats not what were taught. This is what were taught....In Suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars the right of trial by jury shall be preserved!!

Section 2 - Trial by Jury, Original Jurisdiction, Jury Trials

In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.
