    The People want juries to be applied only if necessary upon request of a litigant after the bench trial, because most Judges makes honest reasonable orders. The People themselves do not wish to produce Jury verdicts. We think the Courts should do that.

    The People are working on producing Statutes but regardless, the Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land and everybody swears an oath per US Constitution Art 6 Sect 3. If you have not waived your Right, then it still exists. The idea that the Government has “unchecked Judicial Power” to arbitrarily take your children and all your money, that the Founders forgot about Judges, is non-sense. Absolute power corrupts absolutely and the purpose of a Jury is to prevent corruption. (Federalist 83 Paragraph 17) Everyone understands checks and balances.

    The tenth amendment says that if the Government does not wish to furnish the People with a firearm, or a Jury in Civil Court (AZ Const Art 2 Sect 23) then that responsibility falls to the People to furnish their own. Everyone agrees that we prefer the Courts furnish the Juries because Jury verdicts produced by the People might become problematic. The People will continue to purchase our own firearms as that matter seems to be obvious and uncontested at this time.

    Disclosure? Why do we need SCOTUS to affirm a Miranda decision for civil courts when disclosure is not prohibited by the Constitution? Could it be that the Courts do not want the People to know their rights? We cannot read minds. We can only observe the actions or inactions of the Court. Please include disclosure.

    Sincerely,

    Arizona families are in peril. The contention driven from the separation of our families is further exacerbated by the often seen incompetence shown by some judicial officers. Mistakes are made and an appeal to correct the error(s) can be costly. Leaving the future of our families in the hands of just one person, who's influence has been and can be swayed, leads to lifelong suffering if the wrong custody arrangement is employed.

    The first judge tasked to handle my divorce did so explicitly per title 25. We departed amicably.
    The second judge, single handedly, devastated our family by involving a litany of "professionals" that derailed our intent to have a co-parenting arrangement. That judge, who's since been reassigned to the criminal division, has faced many complaints as she steamrolls over her judicial canons. Her inability to keep our case on track has resulted in tens of thousands of dollars diverted to inept social workers enacting bogus therapeutic intervention sessions, best interest attorneys prolonging status conferences, psychologists delaying evaluations and a slew of other appointees who's only motivation is their bottom line.

    Juries will allow a broader and unbiased decision to be made and keeping Arizona families together will result in happier homes. Having the litigants provide the jurors will be much simpler with services available via videoconference that seems to be the norm these days. A hurried, bothered, busy and/or biased judge will not make a complete and fair decision. My family is proof of that! Please support this amendment and allow families to have a fair perspective in their family dynamics. A perspective not driven by greed.
