[quote:Anonymous Coward 1096692:MV8yMTM3ODI1XzM2MTY0NDUxXzE2MDAwQTZC] [quote:J 34504191:MV8yMTM3ODI1XzM2MTY0NDAwXzFDNzBDRUI4] [i][color=darkblue]I said everybody is born Sovereign and the fiction you keep talking about has no jurisdiction [/color][/i] Oh, I remember you 'saying' it. You declaring that no laws apply to you doesn't amount to much. As you don't decide which laws apply to you and which don't. You don't define any 'requirement' of the law. You don't define any legal term. You don't define any jurisdiction. The law and the courts do. Not you. Its the same problem afflicting the entire sovereign citizen movement. They keep imagining, as you do, that any inane babble they want to imagine must apply to the real world. Laughing...nope! Your imagination is irrelevant. It doens't effect the law in the slightest. It doesn't limit the authority of the court in the slightest. If you want to make a legal argument, cite the law or the courts. But you citing yourself is meaningless. As you've demonstrated you're fully aware of by your refusal to put your theory to the test. Keep running. [/quote] Whose courts and whose laws? They aren't mine because I never agreed to any of it. Just like the Chinese courts and laws aren't my laws. My being born here isn't proof of jurisdiction Please provide proof J that the fictions have jurisdiction over me. I'm waiting also. The threat of force and violence is NOT proof of jurisdiction [/quote]
Original Message
I really don't know much about this subject. Is this a genuine description of these people of just the M.S.M. demonizing them?
From Kfor TV out of Oklahoma:
"Law enforcement is paying special attention to a re-surging group of individual extremists; sovereign citizens.
They are anti-government Americans who believe the U.S. government has no authority".
snip
"The world-wide web has been a handy tool in sovereign circles, spreading tactics of their particular flavor of lawlessness.
Sovereign citizens usually represent themselves in court, filing nonsensical paperwork on their own behalf.
Many sovereigns document their struggles to be taken seriously, then post them online.
They rarely have much success."
snip
“What I understand people in some of these cases are doing is making the argument that the original constitutional order left people free from the authority of the federal government and maybe from laws at the state level as well,” Blitz said. “So (they say) ‘You can’t apply these laws to me.’ Not surprisingly, the judges have said, ‘Yes we can.’”

I just want to thank everyone who contributed to this thread. You've all given me a bit of a crash education on this subject and directed me to some great sources for learning even more. It's bed time for me but I'm looking forward to reading any new post when I get up.
Once again, thank you!
