28. Well they are being enforced
but the remedies are typically small fees to little to matter so like I said lets up the anty..

In terms of does this belong in the constitution, not in any specific form. Look at rights enumerated they are in general very vague (45 words for speech, assembly, press, and worship) and intentionally so that laws can be created to suit the times. If the constitution is to get *this* specific why even bother with a judicial branch.

"Frankly, I'm trying to figure out why anything of what has been proposed would be an "overreaction." Would you stand to lose in the event that such grand juries would be given wide powers?"

Well to your second point I stand to lose nothing I am not wealthy and do not own a business but just because *I* don't stand to lose something does not mean due process should be kicked to the curb for others. As described a good deal of those doing the judging would not be elected or even appointed by elected officials and would have the power to take away the property of others based on what amounts to a strictly moral code.

"I'm asking this in the attempt to understand where your fear is coming from. I see our system as about as diseased as it can get, and that ANY type of remedy that takes the power from the corps as desirable."

If I have a tumor in my arm you can excise the tumor using surgery and precision or take an ax to it guess which is preferable.
