Unless this right will be left in this
Constitution, this right will end and that is the question
today to determine whether the right will continue.
This right as proposed in this amendment has
the protection that the Court of Appeals and the General
Assembly may regulate it. It could expand the right.
The Legislature and the Court have been prohibited
from passing any kind of regulation of this right. This
will end the problem and now it seems to me the question
before you is: Should this right continue and if it should
it is the decision of this Body because we decide if it
is not to be left within the Constitution, it is my
feeling that there will be no right of a removal.
May I say this applies only to civil cases
and goes to the question of jury trials and not to the
question of the removal or prejudice of judges.
THE CHAIRMAN: Any delegate desire to speak in
opposition to the amendment?
Delegate Macdonald.
DELEGATE MACDONALD: Mr. Chairman, I would like
to offer Amendment W as a substitute amendment.
