That court opinion is ~truely~ ignorant nonsense.

Backwards, naturally. BTW, ignorance is curable.

"By art. 7 of the amendments, it is provided, that 'in suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved.' This, as has been many times decided, relates only to trials in the courts of the United States. Edwards v. Elliot, 21 Wall. 557. The States, so far as this amendment is concerned, are left to regulate trials in their own courts in their own way."

United States Supreme Court , WALKER v. SAUVINET, 92 U.S. 90 (1875)
