"For all the talk of modesty and restraint, the right-wing justices of the court (have) a striking record of ignoring precedent, overturning congressional statutes, limiting constitutional protections and discovering new constitutional entitlements," ~Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I.
“My belief has always been . . . that wherever in this land any individual's fundamental constitutional rights are being denied, it is the obligation of the federal government -- at point of bayonet if necessary -- to restore that individual's constitutional rights.” ~ Ronald Reagan
But that was a long, long time ago...and this is now! Now the standard for an American is the right to be "pretty clear" informed.

U.S Supreme Court says killercop is innocent of the charges related to 1028(a). Well, they would, if I can locate an "honest" lawyer for some "assistance" of the counsel to let the Supremes know. I would pull a Gideon, if I thought it would do some good. But from here it appears that five out of the nine needs a hanging.
What are peaceful citizens suppose to do when the first three boxes yield an oppressive result? Answer: Read the July 4th Declaration of Independence, second paragraph, namely, “. . . But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism,it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. . . .” [Emphases added.]
The first two paragraphs of the July 4th Declaration are arguably the most significant words and concepts ever expressed in any culture in any language at any time. Why? Because they declared that Man has certain unalienable rights that are a gift from a Creator that pre-existed and survived the formation of Society and Government. As such, no Society, no Government, no judge, no lawmaker, no mere mortal can strip anyone of any of these “self-evident” “unalienable rights.”
But then again, I'm nutzzzzzz, until certified un-nutzzz in a court of the law. I am waiting on the law and the certificate required by the law. But I'm no expert.(.pdf) Anyone see ours, yet?
Judge Matz: “The somewhat tortured history of this case, as reflected by transcripts which I have gotten and reviewed in recent days or weeks, reflects that on several occasions, the first being at least August 22nd of 2002 there were colloquies that I had with Killercop concerning both his right and the peril he would invite if he exercised his right to represent himself. Killercop has never said I want to be my own lawyer.
I’ve noted that before and I’m not going to sit up here and review every single colloquy we had. "
"So a prudent thing to do for somebody in your situation, Killercop, would be is I’ll take my best shot at it. You can take your best shot at being your own lawyer, if you want, or you can be a lawyer.”
--Judge A. Howard Matz, 09.26.03, Page 54, Lines 12-15
Maybe Dr. Who stole them!! Looking back... it now fits with their "missing" certificate, required by the law. Judge Matz didn't appear to care about it or the law. Read On Below.
["Ahhhh Nutz, Where Did Matz Hide That Certificate?"]
An illegal appeal always follows the illegal trial, but of course.
After forced hand feeding the words to his puppet, Sung, the false confession, Kozinski thereafter summarily denied review, or any rehearing, of this important jurisdictional Internet case by his decree alone, refusing to follow the law and to put it upon the vote of a majority of the non-recused active judges pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 46(c) and Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 35 and Ninth Circuit General Order 5.
By the way, Alvin, I am still paying rewards, in case you were wondering. Why? It's called speech, not conduct. No matter how many times you say it, no means no.
