Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: 35540
Rating:2.3
Comments:
Daubert affects pretrial practices like discovery and summary judgment far more than trial, the supposed domain of rules of evidence. In the name of Daubert and Evidence, judges who so choose have a powerful tool with which to manipulate the American system of adjudication and bypass the Seventh Amendment. Not only are gatekeeping judges resolving factual disputes among opposing witnesses, they are resolving such disputes in a way that "poses a threat to the continued viability of the Seventh Amendment jury trial. "

This guy called Obama un-American? You're right there with him Judge. Seventh Amendment has no application here.
