Guess these people never heard of the constitution. The 7th & 8th Amendments.
The Seventh Amendment provides that civil cases preserve the right to trial by jury.
The Eighth Amendment prohibits excessive bail, excessive fines, and cruel and unusual punishments.

Why a Constitution? The need for the Constitution grew out of problems with the Articles of Confederation, which established a “firm league of friendship”www.whitehouse.gov
I always get a chuckle from your posts. In this case you obviously did not know that one of the criticisms of Trump’s lawyers is that they did not demand a jury. Now Trump’s case was in equity; however, some of the issues before the judge may have been triable by a jury. If they had made the demand, the failure to have a jury trial on one or some of the counts could have been an issue on appeal.
