Judges Are Powerless in the Colonists' America
One of the tricks in a magic show is to divert the audience's attention
with one hand while the sleight of hand, "the magic", is perpetrated by
the other.
Imagine a situation in which the people's attention is being focused on
an issue that has absolutely no relevance to the real issue, and the
magician has skillfully focused their attention deliberately on the
irrelevant issue so that they entirely miss the point of what is
relevant, at least partly because throughout history people are
constantly reminded that the so called leaders, the magicians, or
people of authority must have some magic power suggesting they should
be listened to. Hans Christian Andersen explained this idea in
his tale the "Emperor's New Clothes".
In
a true democracy, if all of the people are uneducated, uninterested,
and possibly dumb as a bag of rocks, leadership in that scenario is not
a license to make them do what you want, but simply carry out their
will, notwithstanding the fact that you do not like it. The only option
is to make sure that over time they become better educated about the
issues and personally involved to prevent scofflaws from destroying
them and their free nation. In the matter at hand, an entirely corrupt
US administrative state and judiciary have become the "Absolute
Masters, Despots the colonists warned about.
"all
power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by
themselves, in all cases to which they think themselves competent, (as
in electing their *functionaries* executive and legislative, and
deciding by a jury of themselves, both fact and law, in all judiciary
cases in which any fact is involved) or they may act by
representatives, freely and equally chosen; that it is their right and
duty to be at all times armed; that they are entitled to freedom of
person; freedom of religion; freedom of property; and freedom of the
press." - Extract from Thomas Jefferson to John Cartwright. Monticello in Virginia. June 5. 24.
And the judiciary is trying to jump over the hog pen before the farmer
shows up, principally to avoid becoming pork rinds. Rinds because
they are so completely power deluded it might be the equivalent of "mad hogs' disease" or "mad judges' disease", a similar condition in which farmers kill cows in the millions "mad cow disease."
"It
seems to have been imagined by some that the returning to the mass of
the people was degrading the magistrate. This he thought was contrary
to republican principles. In free Governments the rulers are the
servants, and the people their superiors & sovereigns. For the
former therefore to return among the latter was not to degrade but to
promote them--and it would be imposing an unreasonable burden on them,
to keep them always in a State of servitude, and not allow them to
become again one of the Masters." - Benjamin Franklin (Remarks in Framing Convention, 1787 as summarized by Madison in his record, page 6)
American citizens are the highest authority in America, not judges or the courts, and who have the absolute right right in all cases and at all times to decide all matters in any way citizens see fit. Everything else and every structure erected to thwart that right and power are simply magic tricks to change your focus.
All trials can be by JURIES who have a duty to be fully informed about
Jury Nullification. Jury Nullification is the way juries of the
American people can MAKE ALL DECISIONS ABOUT THE OUTCOME OF TRIALS AND
CHARGES, IRRESPECTIVE OF THE LAW, and not politicized judges and courts.

Jury Nullification and The Constitution
Jury nullification is a fundamental aspect of the American justice
system, rooted in the Constitution and the principles of liberty and
democracy. Here’s a breakdown of the key points:
Constitutional Guarantees
1. Trial by Jury: The Sixth Amendment to the Constitution guarantees the right to a trial by jury in all criminal cases,
and the Seventh Amendment guarantees the right to a trial by jury in all civil cases over $20 in value. This
includes the power of jurors to judge both the law and the facts.
2. Jury Independence: The Seventh Amendment ALSO ensures that jurors are not subject to coercion or
intimidation by judges, prosecutors, or other authorities and that the decision of the jury cannot be re-
examined.
3. Right to a Fair Trial: The Fourteenth Amendment’s Due Process Clause protects the right to a fair trial, which
includes the ability of jurors to exercise their judgment and discretion in rendering a verdict.
Historical Context
1. Colonial Era: Jury nullification originated in colonial America, where juries were used to protest British rule and
enforce moral and political principles.
2. Founding Fathers: The Founding Fathers, including Alexander Hamilton and John Adams, recognized the
importance of jury nullification as a check on government power and a means to uphold justice and morality.
Constitutional Language
1. Maryland Constitution: Article 23 of the Maryland Constitution explicitly guarantees the right of jurors to
“judge” the law in criminal cases.
2. Georgia Constitution: Article 1, Section 1, Paragraph XI of the
Georgia Constitution states that jurors shall be the “judges of the law
and the facts” in criminal cases.
3. Other States: Twenty other states have similar provisions in their constitutions, often under sections on freedom
of speech or due process.
Implications
1. Decentralization of Power: Jury nullification decentralizes political power, allowing individuals to exercise their
judgment and conscience in the face of unjust or oppressive laws.
2. Protection of Individual Rights: By giving jurors the power to nullify laws, the Constitution protects individual
rights and liberties from government overreach.
3. Checks and Balances: Jury nullification serves as a check on the judiciary and the executive branches, ensuring
that the system remains accountable to the people.
Conclusion
Jury nullification is a cornerstone of the American justice system, grounded in the Constitution and the principles of
liberty and democracy. It provides a vital mechanism for individuals to exercise their judgment and conscience,
protecting individual rights and liberties from government overreach.
I might add, since citizens are the highest power in the land, they
should convene their own court of their design and simply remove all
functionaries, judges, politicians, and public servants of any kind,
that attempt to undermine or overthrow the constitution the colonists
created. There will of course be a lot of snorting, bleating,
squealing, and outright confrontation, but then think about what your
forefathers had to do to get rid of the British.
As for the immigrants, America is NOT a church, NOT a food bank, NOT a
job bank, NOT a 400 pound gorilla defending everyone around the world,
and the simple question which is answered by immigration around the
world is what benefit existing citizens get from a flood of immigrants,
and the answers, which the media are doing everything in their power to
hide, is nothing. Look at the countries that have picked
themselves up from nothing like Singapore, El Salvador, Taiwan
and on and on, and ask yourself why people don't fix their own
homelands. Because they might get killed? The colonists
faced the same problem, many died, and the nation became the most
powerful in the world.
America was the land of the opportunity because of American citizens
who were independent and dreamed. Not rich guys who exploited
them.
