On the Internet, right next to the text of the U.S. Constitution, Seventh Amendment, is an ad for a donation to the “Revolution of Ron Paul.” The ad is called “Money Bomb” and urges people to give money to the only man who supports the U.S. Constitution. The Seventh Amendment to the U.S. Constitution states in its entirety as follows: “In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed 20 dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise re-examined in any court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.”
Not only is the right to trial by jury inviolate but even the right to review a jury verdict is limited. The language of the Second Amendment is stated in similar unequivocal terms: “A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”
