Then
The Bill of Rights (1st 10 Amendments of the Constitution) gives our Veterans (and all Americans) the right to a trial by jury for civil disputes such as defective homes, medical malpractice, or workplace injuries. Our founding fathers established this right to prevent the rich and powerful from dictating the terms of the dispute process as they did in England. In England the elite established a state sponsored arbitration panel, a kangaroo court, stacked with business friendly arbitrators.
And Then Again
Unfortunately over the last decade+ the rich and powerful have elected business friendly politicians who now support the use of business friendly mandatory binding arbitration, overriding the Bill of Rights which our fine young men and women of the Armed Forces are fighting for.
Loss of body parts
Our members of the Armed Forces take an oath to protect our Constitution yet when they come home, some missing body parts, they are not allowed to exercise the very rights they have fought for. When buying the American Dream, or a car built in America, they must give up the right that they lost body parts, and friends, for and must be subjected to a kangaroo court of arbitrator for all disputes. Just like England.
Our members of the Armed Forces took an oath to defend our country from enemies both foreign and domestic. That enemy just might be putting on their Veterans of Foreign Wars hat,wearing their flag pin, riding in parades, and saying empty statements like "Our fine young men and women of the Armed Forces are fighting for our Constitution.
And they should be spat upon.

No they mustn't. They may, if they'd like. They may decline to, if they'd like.
Anonymous, you have your head so far up the butt of the rich, elite, and powerful that you can't smell the stench of corruption.
They do not need your help. They pay lobbyist 6 figure incomes to do what you are doing for free.
Get off your knees for once.
And...go buy a car and see if you can get out of the arbitration clause. you have absolutely no idea of what you are talking about.
You not only have your head up someones ass, you are also talking out of yours.
And...go buy a car and see if you can get out of the arbitration clause.
There was no arbitration clause to get out of. When I bought my car, the contract was in this form, the standard retail installment sales contract used in the state of Texas.

You'll notice there is no arbitration clause there.
John, these veterans, like every American, are free to refuse to sign a contract with such an arbitration clause. There is therefore no violation of the Seventh Amendment.
And by the way, John, nice job using the homophobic reference to oral sodomy to insult your opponents. Puts you in the same category as the candidates you've been condemning recently.
Need to call bullshit on you.
That is total bullshit. There is no "Standard" contract. I researched every new car lot in my area and every single one had an arbitration clause, even the used car lots.
Every single one.
The dealers lobbied congress to get the car manufacturers to remove the mandatory arbitration clause between the manufacturer and dealer. They claimed it was "unfair".
So don't BS me. You know not what you are saying.
I researched every new car lot in my area and every single one had an arbitration clause, even the used car lots.
All the new car lots including the used one? Isn't that a contradiction in terms?
And all of them? Really? How many new car dealers are there in the Houston area? And how many used ones? And can you provide documentation of your research?
Also, what you want is for government to require the dealer to sell you a car on the terms that you want, not terms that are mutually agreed upon, when you demand that these arbitration clauses be banned. Just another anti-free market proposal from this blog.
But here's your chance. Open your own car lot and sell your vehicles without the arbitration clauses in the contracts. If you are right, people will flock to you and you will get rich.
