Most people are far more likely to see family court than criminal court, and can end up in family court through no fault of their own, whereas you're much more able to avoid criminal court by not committing crimes. It's a huge encroachment of the state on personal life where protections such as the right to jury does not exist. The fact that this state encroachment has lead to disastrous outcomes should come as no surprise.
- bigbillheck 3y ago> protections such as the right to jury does not exist. The 6th amendment is for criminal trials and the 7th is not currently applied at the state level.
- cjbgkagh 3y agoI'm not suggesting that it's an illegal encroachment, just that if such provisions are considered wise at the federal level then would it not be wise to apply the same provisions at the state level?
