No it doesn't. It reinforces the Constitutional responsibility of a state government to provide an attorney to someone who can't afford one and reinforces the right to counsel.
What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive? Or if during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? The Organs would quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

That's a duty. Forcing people to attend jury duty isn't considered a right anywhere in the US.

Sure, but that duty provides the right for said criminal. Thus, one can be entitled to the services of others, if that service is considered a legally required civic duty.

There is a right to a trial by jury. Sixth Amendment. Anyone accused of a crime can exercise their right to a trial by jury and thus force jurors to provide that service to them. Not to mention judges and bailiffs, and of course the attorneys who may be forced to provide counsel to a person who cannot afford to hire an attorney. I assume you oppose all these things, yes?

The one time I was selected for jury duty was for such a case. The monetary value of the damages was less than $5,000.

If you hate your job; a murder case tends to keep you there.

You know how we can solve the state oppressing people to do jury duty? Offer pints. Would make for interesting court cases.

In the same manner that gun stores provide for our right to bear arms, that doesn't mean any individual has to provide me with a gun. Nope, just because a country mandates that people provide something to others doesn't mean they are entitled to it.

But forcing people to be in a jury isn't considered a right, it's considered more of a responsibility.

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.

There is, clearly, a right to a trial by jury. Therefore there is a right to the services of jurors.

I freelance and kind of dig my job (despite me putting off doing it right now...)jThough I probably could still maintain and jury an interesting trial. I'll try not to lose my summons this time. Apparently if you don't remember all that shit you can't get back into the portal.

So you are against the right to a trial by jury? Or are you taking a position that people accused of crimes do get jury trials, but it's some other kind of good law thing and not a right?

How is this difficult?

The Civic duty performed by the providing the service, allows for the right to a jury trial to be fulfilled for said defendant. Thus, one can be entitled to the services of others, if that service is considered a legally required civic duty.

Do it. And watch how you'll get proven wrong.

How can I be proven wrong? Just cause the government says something is a right doesn't mean it's a right. :)


The natural right to bear arms doesn't mean anyone has to provide you with a gun for the umpteenth time. If the 2nd Amendment were to be repealed tommorrow I'd still consider the right to bear arms a right.
What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive? Or if during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? The Organs would quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

But by your own admission, ust cause current government says it's a right doesn't mean it's a right.

You have no valid argument.
