    There are little if any Checks and Balances in the countenance of “rule of law”… Those purported “sovereign citizens” are merely confused about the positive laws of the United States of America, and most judges and prosecutors are Truly Honorable in thier Service to this Nation and the judicial system.
    However and in fact of American standards, the judicial system has fallen to the prey of the Internet and other methods of public inquiry, whereas even the Protectors, can become Victims… this is a very serious matter of public and private law.

    There are ways to disagree with the state of our law. Some have been highly effective.
    Given effective law enforcement, we have a whole new class of criminals in the making.

    Breaking the law always has a down side. A criminal might actually be found guilty and often the judge is the one who ends up the popular one for doing his or her job. You could not pay me enough money to take on that responsibility it is to bad that our system is hindered by stupid violent people who cant get the rest of the world to see things their way.I give credit to any judge for just showing up for work it is a thankless job.

    Lets not forget that threatening Judges is a serious crime. We saw this with Bill White and the former leader of the WCOTC and they are currently serving time in the Federal Pen, where they belong. These idiotic hatemongers better wise up and think about what they are actually doing, is a serious offense.
