There is no Constitutional right to a jury trial in a State civil case.

That may not necessarily be true under the Florida Constitution. In Ohio, there is a right to a jury trial in a state civil case for all causes of action which existed in 1851.

Any right to a jury trial in State civil matter is purely based upon State constitutions and laws. I'm guessing that Florida doesn't require juries in cases like this or that the parties waived the right to a jury trial.

I can imagine that Judge Greer was mighty proud, when he made President Bush, and Jeb Bush, tuck tail and run. He showed the legislature of the USA to be impotent and ineffective. Yes, it looked like Judge Greer ruled the nation for a few days. This has just got to stop! If we want a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, we must fight for it. If we do not fight, we will lose our most basic freedom, the right to live!
