Dada in Federal Court 7/17 .... leads to 4 days in jail

[LordBaltimore]

And yet you parrot the government line as a matter of course. How free can you be when you're mind is enslaved to the federal government?

I learn what the law says and then pick and choose my battles.  You remain ignorant of the laws you protest and pick and choose your battles based on ignorance and hyperbole.  I've gotten laws changed, have you?

Hey Richard,
Let's start our own forum where we can explain to everyone why they must follow the LAW!

[error]

And of course, the Courts are the final arbiter of what is right and wrong.

We are a system of laws and not of men.

It seems that we have a system of men and not of laws.

+ karma for you, the good Bill Grennon.

A petition has to be made to our elected representatives who make the laws or judges. Not to federal employees.

The First Amendment reads:

Congress shall make no law . . . abridging . . . the right of the people . . . to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Note that it says "government," not "legislature" or "The Congress" (as it is referred to elsewhere in the Constitution).

Here's an interesting overview of the history of the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances:

Yeah, right.

John Adams was a great man. I feel as kin to him...literally.
Which means Samuel is also an ancestor of mine. I like his take on it a little better:

"The natural liberty of man is to be free from any superior power on Earth, and not to be under the will or legislative authority of man, but only to have the law of nature for his rule."

[error]

When the laws serve men, and not liberty, they are wholly improper and repugnant, and due no allegiance or respect.

Actually there was some humor in the courtroom, the public prosecutor had prepared his case thinking it was a CIVIL trial when it was indeed CRIMINAL.

That made little difference though... Dave's argument was based purely on the Constitutionality of the specifics of the original case. Since this was a Contempt of Court hearing, those arguments were deemed not relevant to the proceedings.
The trial lasted about 15 minutes.

That is strange! Jurisdiction IS the ISSUE ! "Criminal contempt" requires a JURY TRIALas does all criminal proceedings.  "Civil contempt" can only assess a fine. All "Criminal proceedings" are reserved to Article III courts with Article III Judges who have life tenure and do not pay any tax as Article III exempts them from having their compensation "diminished". Mr. Muirhead is a Magistate, appointed for 10 years only, subject to re-appointment if he protects the bankrupt municipal corporation he works for and known as the "United States" Goverment. Put 28 USC 3002 into google and read definition 15. That is who Mr. Muirhead has for an employer.

  You are one hilarious fed goon. Where, in anything that I have ever said, have you even received the slightest indication that my goal is to change your stupid little laws?  I despise the US Government, and my goal is to expose you for the NAZIs that you are, not change you. Mene, Mene, Tekal, Upharsin. The time for reform is over and passed.

I despise the US Government

I can just imagine Dave locked in a little room - all you hear from the outside is zombie noises, like some mournful wounded wookie.
