That concept is too advanced for most people Real.

However, I just got the second notice from the census, I can't wait until the guy shows up. Welcome to Termy's Constitutional Law School (TCLS). That's a catchy one eh ?

The concept of the strawman in law is not going to be proven by a driver's license. I had a buddy who was almost evangelical with this stuff. One day he started up on lawful status and I knew the people in the room were not ready for it. I was thinking "JFC, gimme a chance to make them aware of the Constitution in the first place at least". Not that the Constitution is in effect anyway.

That's right, any battles you may win on that front are basically induced by their reluctance to make this public knowledge. Keep that in mind, anyone who wants to try any of this. For example they don't just give away non-taxpayer status unless you are their buddy. The rest of us can only get it done with an accusation of fraud.

Challenging jurisdiction in other cases is also tricky. They are evolving arguments against that as we speak no doubt. You can't do this with a photographic memory, you must know the subject intimately and be able to think on your feet. My people did this only after years of study. Some of this was conducted in private sessions with well reknowned legal scholars. Nobody works for free and it takes time. The best of the professors who teach this also have a stage when they play Devil's advocate and throw every argument at you they can muster, for the other side. Without that you are not prepared.

All of this antagonizes the court, so you had better win. Mark my words, you better know what the fuck you're doing.

Termy I've already debunked this bullshit at least once before and others have as well. Please stop peddling it. Some poor dumb sap might believe your crap and wind up in real trouble.

Ok ken so they RE-PRESENT the will of the people huh?   Now how do they do that?  Look into their crystal ball and say shala boom shala bam oh great spirit of the amendment speak to me so I will come to know the will of the people!

Do you have any idea how foolish you sound talking like that?

They represent us but without our taking a vote to tally our voices.

Bills in the mail.

Why don't you deal with the points raised in the rest of the post you quote above? The examples of why amendments were the result of the desires of the population?

If you poke them, they spout more conspiracy theories ranging from the Roswell incident to the shortage of Angostura bitters over the last few months. ( the problem was a bottle shortage which has been fixed with a new supplier)

I drink good scotch straight but cocktails are a nice change of pace. A good Martini or Manhattan can be as good without the hefty cost of a single malt.

First of all you haven't debunked much, some of the points maybe, but certainly not all of it. But let's assume two possibilities, one is that you know everything and the other is that you don't.

Now what do you find in almost every post I write pertaining to using law against the law so to speak, do you recall ? I am out here telling people not to do it. I am warning them time and time again that they are not "playing with kids".  Just to play this game is not only dangerous, which I have stated quite clearly, I have also alluded at least to the extensive education required to swim with the sharks so to speak. None of this even touches on the requirements to even begin. In other words, even knowing how to play the game does not make it a wise move to sit down at the table and lay your money down.

I am not the one around here who claims to know everything. I admit that I would need more education to, for example, become a non-taxpayer. Just step one is a big pain in the ass. Plus there are so many things you must not do that it's not for everyone. And I point out sometimes just like you did that people can get themselves in big trouble. But the concepts are true and viable, which is something you summarily dismiss, and you find what YOU consider evidence to that effect which doesn't really exist all the time. YOU take what YOU see and YOU decide what is valid and what is not. What did you pay for your private tutoring sessions with a highly regarded retired law professor ?

So no, I am not peddling this "shit". I haven't done it, I attacked the problem Termy style, and I don't recommend that either. What's more, I'll peddle whatever I damn well please.
