Get the 14th amendment mug.In Suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise reexamined in any Court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.
This ensures that all trespass fines collected By the Holy Okie will never be considered worthy of counter-suits for the fines fall short of twenty dollars by the amount of a single McKinney Penny. If a suit is filed all that may be collected is A Penny for every twenty that is being sought. example: If the suit is for $100 then only a Nickle can be recovered.

Bill: Hey, Jim I heard you were suing that Totalitarian tyrant Blackfoot redneck Leprechaun Lord Bud to recover those fines for trespass, how did it go?
Jim: I combined six years of fines so the amount would be in excess of twenty dollars but because of his 7th amendment rebuttal I could only recover a Nickle. Damn common law keeps protecting that tyrant and the jury was laughing the whole time.
