12 jurors are too many? Supremes rewrite constitutional amendment - 'Continues to undermine the integrity of the nation's judicial proceedings' - Bob Unruh, WND.com
A public-interest law team is warning that the US Supreme Court has gone into dangerous territory – now denying defendants in criminal cases their constitutional right to a 12-person jury trial.
"The Sixth Amendment serves as an antidote to the abuses of the American police state: ensuring that when people are accused of a crime, they know what they’re being charged with and are given the opportunity to have a fair, speedy and public trial, an impartial jury, the right to a lawyer, and the chance to confront and question their accusers."
Blackstone wrote, "No person could be found guilty of a serious crime unless 'the truth of every accusation [was] confirmed by the unanimous suffrage of twelve of his equals and neighbors."
In 1898, the Supreme Court ruled that, "The jury referred to in the original Constitution and in the Sixth Amendment is a jury constituted, as it was at common law, of twelve persons, neither more nor less."
The Senate will convene TODAY at 5:30 pm ET on HR 8404, a measure that will impose same-sex marriage, and force states to honor and obey California’s insane pedophilic child bride laws, along with just about every other perversion of “marriage” you can imagine.
