Does a state's budget trump a party's right to due process? Something about that
just doesn't go down well.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

This is Federal - California's budget has no bearing.

They won't be able to do that. US Constitution, Amendment 7: "In Suits at
common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the
right of trial by jury shall be preserved,". This one definitely exceeds
$20. And even state courts don't get to evade that one. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I have read that due to California's budgetary woes they are
planning to cut the judiciary budget, which will eliminate the possibility of
jury trials in civil
cases.
Even if this was the case it
wouldn't matter to this trial, which isn't in a California state court. It is in
a federal court which happens to be located in California (the U.S. District
Court for the Northern District of California.)
U.S. federal courts are
funded by Congress out of federal funds, not by the state in which they happen
to be located.
