Title: Our Constitutional Rights are Being Stripped Away
Topic: Constitutional Rights
Discussed by Andy Cochran
with The 7th Amendment Advocate (www.7thAmendmentAdvocate.org)

Part 1 of 3

Crony Capitalists never quit trying to entice federal officials into giving them special access and favors. What they can’t achieve in the market place, they attempt to buy in DC.

Furthermore, CC’s have been moving to shut out millions of Americans from exercising their 7th Amendment Right over bad products or services. All based on one tiny, rarely read paragraph in consumer contracts.

Will the day soon come when there will be a sign on every grocery store saying that purchasing food there constitutes an agreement to not sue it for spoiled, poorly stored food that makes us sick?

The CC’s definitely have an agenda. And that’s to get your money. But trying to get theirs is an entirely different story!

There are no due process standards, no guarantees that the applicable laws will be upheld, and no public records of the proceedings.

Title: Part 3 of 3
Topic: Constitutional Rights
Discussed by Andy Cochran
with The 7th Amendment Advocate (www.7thAmendmentAdvocate.org)

To protect themselves, big businesses are forcing consumers into arbitration thru the use of tiny print buried inside contracts and purchase agreements.

Our 7th Amendment right to a jury trial is vanishing before our very eyes thanks in large part to an increased reliance upon alternate dispute resolutions and mandatory arbitration.

Title: Will The Family Research Council Be Forced To Cover Sterilizations, Abortifacients and Contraceptives In Its Employee Health Care Plans?
Topic: Constitutional Rights
Discussed by Mike Johnson
with Liberty Institute www.LibertyInstitute.org

Obamacare, we were told, would exempt religious institutions from having to pay for abortions, sterilizations, and other operations that would possibly violate their conscience - we were told a lie, were we not?

What types of institutions have filed suits against health and human services? What did the Liberty Institute do on behalf of the Family Research Council? Why is it that in America for the first time congress passed a bill that violates a fundamental American right?

In 1972, Liberty Institute began as a small advocacy organization under a different name and advanced the cause of liberty, including religious liberty. What began nearly 40 years ago has grown into an influential non-profit law firm, dedicated to defending and restoring religious liberty across America.

Topic: Constitutional Rights
Discussed by Andy Cochran

Help us understand the Constitution when it comes to police powers, and where did our founding fathers want police powers to be most effective?

Why do you in your defense for states rights go to his opinion and quote him in that federal medical tort reform laws would violate police powers?

How is it that there are some in the legal community now preparing for a battle against the Republican establishment in wanting to usurp state rights and control medical malpractice awards and the civil suits?

Why would a Doctor and US Senator Tom Coburn oppose federal medical tort reform laws? Why would a former Judge and now US Congressman Ted Poe likewise oppose federal medical tort reform laws?

Will “Greed” rule if citizens lose the right to a trial by jury?

Our Founding Fathers had released the U.S. Constitution and were awaiting ratification by the colonies or states. Five of the 11 ratifying state conventions did so with suggested amendments attached. Two states, North Carolina and Rhode Island, determined to stay out of the union until a bill of right was proposed. Was state sovereignty the main issue?

a. The Fourth Amendment regulated judicially-issued warrants
b. The Fifth barred double jeopardy
c. The Sixth assured a trial by jury in criminal cases
d. The Seventh prescribed a jury trial in civil cases
e. The Ninth, little understood today, was to impair Congress from interfering with the independence of the state judiciary systems
f. And the Tenth Amendment reinforced that whatever was not given was reserved to the states.

The Ninth and Tenth Amendments were to protect the exclusive rights of each state, including the integrity of the state courts.

Did the Supreme Court have to hear the case or could the court have declined?

Pertaining to the parties who brought the suit, will they prepare briefs? Will they have oral arguments? Who prepares briefs in the cases before the SCOTUS and who is allowed to present oral arguments?

As individual Americans follow this case, will they get bored with all the details or do you believe that Americans are engaged?

Do citizens realize that the Federal Government is reaching out and taking as much power as it can and that Obamacare is a another example of the government’s tentacles?

City Official with the city of San Juan Capistrano, California, tells Chuck and Stephanie Fromm they needed a city permit before inviting friends back to a home-bible study.

Because the Fromm’s have the Seventh Amendment Right to a Trial by Jury, they asked the Pacific Justice Institute for help.

Any effort to limit access to the civil justice system compromises everyone’s right to seek justice and prevent governmental bodies from imposing their will over our lives.

Title: Is Tort Reform Really That Important?
Topic: Constitutional Rights
Discussed by Andy Cochran
with The 7th Amendment Advocate (www.7thAmendmentAdvocate.org)

What Ronald Reagan Really Said About Tort Reform.     Many people revere Ronald Reagan as the greatest president in modern history; so it may come as a surprise to you that Reagan never - not even once - proposed tort reform in any of his eight State of the Union (SOTU) addresses. Reagan wasn’t interested in limiting civil rights. In fact, Andy Cochran only found one reference to any type of tort reform mentioned by Reagan - in a 1986 speech at the Chamber of Commerce.
