What a crock of an argument. Kind of what I expect from a lawyer. I didn't say that I don't believe in trial by jury, but I will say that as times have changed since the Constitution was written, the feasibility of getting a fair trial has decreased. The concept of fairness is not exhibited in some of the high profile cases. There may or may not be thousands of cases that are fair, but when big money is involved, it appears that a lot of shenanigans are pulled. Politics also become involved. I will not back down from my belief that corruption runs amuck in our court system. What constitutional protections do I have now? If I am a law-abiding citizen, none. I don't have the right of free speech unless it is politically correct. I don't have the right to assemble, i.e., protesting at abortion clinics. I don't have freedom of religion, can't pray in school or prior to athletic contests. People such as Al Gore and his cronies claim that I don't even have the right to bear arms. His justice department has filed briefs to that effect. Justice is becoming a farce as citizens become more and more numb to the concept of right and wrong. Lawyers in profiled cases cause a lot of that feeling. I'll end with a quote from the most notable of lawyer deceit that I have ever heard,"It depends what the definition of is is."knc
