Can the plaintiff demand a jury trial in a civil suit?
I thought that only the defendant could do so.

[SAJ]

Per the Constitution, a jury trial may be demanded in any civil trial seeking damages of greater than $20.00.

Change of venue will be necessary, or this will be one of the most egregious miscarriages of justice in all of US history.

If the civil procedure rules of Md. allow it. But as for a restraining order, that, if granted, could extend no farther than the borders of Md. So far as I know neither NY nor Calif have similar protections against taping so no suits are filed in those places, and the jurisdiction of any Md. court stops at the border. As FoxNew is a cable channel HQed in NYC they can run the tapes forever. The best the judge could do is order Md cable companies not to carry the vids Even in a friendly court environment ACORN is up fecal creek

That's what I thought also.
