I...Aaron, let me take a whack at these one by one.<br /><br />I would say that the system works as our founders intended from the standpoint that it allowed successive generations to decide the rules under which they wanted to live, and elect legislators accordingly. Not that doesn't mean that we have to like it when the second-handers out-vote us and win the day, but it also doesn't mean that we can just decide to pick up guns and start seizing bird sanctuaries, either. It also doesn't follow that the government is going around "stealing land from people" (who, exactly?) or "murdering it's citizens". (Which ones? And please don't cite LaVoy Finicum. He tried to draw on those officers and I'd have shot him myself had I been there.)<br /><br />Now as to th UCC, so what it the United States is defined as a corporate entity? If it was not, it could not borrow money, pay out money, or sue/be sued in court. All it means is that, for legal purposes, the government is embodied to stand as a distinct entity for the purposes of doing business. It's not some sinister plot to do something evil that a few high-school drop-out "sovereign citizen" types discovered by accident one day.<br /><br />And as to the courts...yes, while most everyone there draws a government check, each one works for a separate and distinct branch. Judges are the Judicial Branch. Prosecutors and police officers fall under the Executive Branch. They don't work hand-in-hand to defeat defendants, believe me. I guarantee you that I've spent more time in court than you ever will, and on all sides of it. If you're charged, you'll get a fair trial, defined as one where you have your rights under the constitution, rules of evidence and proceedure, etc., and the choice of an advocate on your behalf in a open, public hearing where the prosecution has to prove each element of each charge against you beyond a reasonable doubt. Do you have some other definition of "fair"?<br /><br />As to what part of Shawna Cox's filed ranting is crazy...it'd be easier to find the few parts that are not crazy. I won'tr even belabor the point that she tried to file what is basically a civil claim in criminal court, which is why the judge tossed it back at her and told her to use a real attorney next time. Nothing she says makes sense logically or constructively. As others have described it in other discussions, it's basically just a "word salad" made up of legal terms and phrases used inappropriately in an apparent effort to sound smarter than one actually is.Murphy's Lawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17164780742334950772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-8787365323101188112016-02-19T14:13:23.622-06:002016-02-19T14:13:23.622-06:00So you don't have to be coherant to file a law...So you don't have to be coherant to file a lawsuit?ProudHillbillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14305205710265854978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-34163586957097311602016-02-19T10:58:09.792-06:002016-02-19T10:58:09.792-06:00With all due respect, I disagree. I don't car...With all due respect, I disagree. I don't care how the system currently works. That very system has become corrupt and no longer functions how the founding fathers intended. Nearly 250 years of following suggestions like yours to 'work within the system' have lead us to exactly where we are now. A government wildly out of control, stealing land from the people. A government that does not care about the rule of law. A government that murders its own citizens.<br /><br />She's correct about a few points too. According to the Uniform Commercial Code, the United States *is* a corporation (see paragraph 15): https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/28/3002<br /><br />She's also correct about court rooms. I've been in a few over the years. Nothing is funnier than a judge telling you that you will get a fair trial when the prosecutor works for the government, the witness works for the government, the judge works for the government, and the 'defense' they try to assign you also works for the government. Sure--that's not a conflict. ;)<br /><br />I guess I'm curious what parts you think are crazy. Points can be debated, generalizations are much more difficult.<br /><br />For example when I listened to the live stream at the end of the standoff, the guy started ranting about aliens and area 51. I personally think that's crazy.<br /><br />But I think the old Reagan quote applies about 80% my friend is not 20% my enemy. Government is the problem. All the in-fighting among the various 'patriot groups' is destructive to the overall goal of returning to a constitutional republic.Aaron C. de Bruynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04898305272010592221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-30561292218009037952016-02-19T06:44:50.963-06:002016-02-19T06:44:50.963-06:00Aaron,

And if you don't like what our public servants are doing, there are lots of options available to oppose them that don't include linking yourself to crazies like Cox and the Bundys.
