CHECK MY VITAL SIGNS, DOC, CAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE I AM ALREADY DEAD.
Rule 43, which you used to explainmy absence obviously does not apply. And since a finding of incompetence is one of clearly a fact, not law -- And under the right of due processafforded to an accused in a court, the court could not abridge that right by that rule. Pursuant to Title 18, section 2072 (b), 'no rule shall abridge, modify or enlarge a substantive right.

LOS ANGELES -- Nevada Senate candidate Sharron Angle backed away Tuesday from remarks in which she referred to the Second Amendment right to bear arms and the need to "take ... out" Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
Angle, in her first extended Nevada interview since winning the June 8 primary, said she was speaking broadly about the Constitution and her words about the Democratic leader were "a little strong."
The Republican nominee stopped short of an apology but said she no longer uses that phrase.
"I meant take him out of office, and taking him out of office is a little different," Angle said. "I changed my rhetoric."
Federal Judge Impeached by House in Unanimous Vote
The House of Representatives voted 412-0 today to approve the first of four articles of impeachment against New Orleans District Judge Thomas Porteous.
The article found the judge was engaging in misconduct by not disclosing his relationship with a lawyer before him in a hospital case, the Times-Picayune reported. House votes on the other three articles are pending.
"Regrettably, no one can have that expectation in Judge Porteous' courtroom. We hope the Senate will schedule the trial expeditiously, so that we may prove our case and remove him from office."
Porteous is the 15th judge to ever be impeached by the House. The most recent impeachment was of Samuel Kent of the Southern District of Texas in June. Kent—who was drawing his salary while serving a 33-month sentence for lying to investigators about his nonconsensual sexual contact with two employees—resigned from office before the Senate could mount a trial.
You have one choice. Meaning, there are two things from which you can choose. It’s either are you STUPID or CORRUPTED?
Questions means he is either playing baffled again, or playing stupid. He displays a talent to do both remarkably well, when convenient. And Lodged is not the lodge or inn down the street, nor is it even the chalet that Gary Winnick is sleeping in tonight.
Rule 43(a), Fed. R. Crim. P., provides in part that a defendant
must be present at every trial stage, including the jury
impanelment and the return of the verdict and sentencing, unless
otherwise provided by the rules.

The court’s determination of competency is a factual, rather than legal, determination.

How To Survive Traffic Stops in America, Submit, Instantly! - What the cops want is immediate obedience and submission. Many cops are ex-military and view the civilian motorists of America about like they viewed the hapless peasants of Iraq and Afghanistan, that is, with contempt, not as fellow citizens deserving of civility and respect. It is a possibly lethal mistake to do anything other than submit, instantly and obey! Or be ready to shoot first. But aim high.
