exists no law; we have anarchy. That, I am afraid, is the state of the Union as
of today. In the famous case Elkins Et Al v. United States (364 U.S. 206), the
Supreme Court, in reinforcing judicial integrity, stated:
“In a government of laws, existence of the government will be imperiled
if it fails to observe the law scrupulously. Our Government is the potent,
the omnipresent teacher. For good or ill, it teaches the whole people by its
example. Crime is contagious. If the Government becomes a lawbreaker, it
breeds contempt for law, it invites every man to become a law unto himself,
and it invites anarchy.”
Perhaps the words “invites anarchy,” used by Justice Brandeis, should say,
“invokes the responsibility of the people,” by whatever steps necessary, to force
its agent, the government, into compliance with the law. It is possible that
in Justice Brandeis’ day he was correct, but that was a simpler time and the
government had not loosed the chains that the Constitution bound it down
with. Unfortunately the federal judiciary has opted out of the separation of
powers requirement of the Constitution and now has become self-regulating.
It has not worked and it never will.
The courts do not maintain their independence as a judiciary. The system
elevates judges above the law. Our courts are no longer courts of justice or
a bastion of freedom. They became the Executive’s tools with the passage of
the War Powers Act of 1933. The judges are little more than organized crime
families who have invaded the people’s court and now only impersonate
judges and give lip service to justice by exchanging obfuscation and sophistry
in place of a justice system, void of any form of judicial integrity. Enforcing
judicial standards on judges under this system is impossible. Even though
the court has rules, the judges make up their own rules as they go or break
the rules with impunity whenever it is convenient for them to do so. There
is much ado about trying alleged terrorists in a Military Tribunal or a Civil
Court system. I can assure you that today’s federal court is in fact a military
tribunal (Admiralty) and the way or method the “terrorists” will be treated is
substantially the same in both venues. In fact they probably have more due
process than we do because of media scrutiny.
Our patience and tolerance as the body politic of America for those who
pervert the fundamentally necessary and basic foundations of society has been
pushed to insufferable levels. These acts have fundamentally changed the form
and substance of the guaranteed republican form of government envisioned
by the framers of the Constitution. These individuals and organizations have
exhibited a willful and wanton disregard for the rights, safety and property
of others.
They have evinced a despotic design to reduce the American people to
slavery, peonage, and involuntary servitude, under a fraudulent, tyrannical,
