Thread: Quo Warranto

  1. #1

    Quo Warranto

    Been having several issues with the actors in my county lately - specifically in court... I've been getting hammered by the machine of "The State" and was wondering what you guys think about the common law remedy of "Quo Warranto"?

    It's an interesting concept to me, and I've just learned of it's existence, but wonder how specifically one might use it practically, or if anybody has any knowledge or resource of it's use. I picked up on it in the Carl Miller Constitution series (which I try to watch at least once a year since I learned of it). There seems to be little information about Carl Miller on the net - cases, etc, and not much of Quo Warranto - it seems most Bar Attorneys explain QW in some crap corporate/commercial construct... I want to know about using it in common law respect. Im trying to survive the teeth of "The State" here!

    When "The State" EX REL acts against me personally, how have they gained that authority to do so? (I'm referring to child support here specifically). I can understand the state coming after me representing MY CHILDREN who are incapable of acting on their own, but how can the state assume authority to represent another individual while trampling the other down?

    Doesn't this violate equal protection under the law?

    My state constitution specifically reads in Article 1 Section 35 "That the sole object and ONLY LEGITIMATE end of government is to protect the citizen in the enjoyment of life, liberty and property, and when the government assumes other functions it is USURPATION and OPPRESSION."

    I LOVE the wording of that, and it seems most the time when a government actor is presented with that phrase they immediately start to clam up and get defensive.

    So, maybe a little more pointedly - how can a child support agency even exist and claim to protect one individual's rights without trampling on another individual's? Not that I want their benefit of representation, but it would seem to me that I could demand the same protection afforded to the other party and they would be obliged to comply under equal protection claims.

    I'm sure they wont do that, so I was kind of seeing what other's thoughts might be on Quo Warranto... what gives them the authority to assert themselves into my business and claim they have jurisdiction over me on behalf of another individual??

    (Excuse my ramblings - I'm a very scatterbrained individual)

    QUO WARRANTO along with MANDAMUS are what I call ... "the hammers".

    Use very sparingly .

    Quo Warranto, Mandamus, Habeaus Corpus, Prohibition, and others are WRITS. WRITS were the work horses of Common Law judicial process. WRITS were the primary FORMS of ACTION for Common Law.

    There is a difference between a petition for a writ and a writ. The former is a plea. A prayer. The latter is an ACTION.

    Now, I would expect them to get testy with you when you get close to things, thus be careful .
    You should generate quite a bit of excitement moving forward with lawful process.

    You will want to see if your actors have oaths of offices as well as bonds in addition to acquiring the laws (certified copies) mandating they have such. You can start forming your evidence repository with all of this.

    Another move could be you challenging the standing of the officers and their claim of jurisdiction.

    Here is a decent treatise on some of the writs mentioned:

    Oh im sure I've ruffled the actor's feathers. I filed an application for writ of habeas corpus after being in an illegal debtors prison here of late. It was denied. I am working on exhausting these actors' bonds as well. I have caught my Circuit Court Clerk backdating thw record to cover thwir rears. I wonder if I erred filing the application for habeas corpus relief under the code of my state and not under a common law remedy. Sounds like there is a difference.

    I am THOROUGHLY documenting my issues as of late and have the CoC on video admitting the record was changed.i am in department hell trying to track down her bond because I intend to draw upon it - whether her act was willful or not - there were grave errors in court and I paid the price with my freedom for ir.

    My upcoming courses of action are as follow: A civil appeal to fight a frivilous contempt order (how they arrived at that astounds me - by mere decree and fiat; a claim against the CoC's bond; a state judicial inquiry commission complaint and I want most of all to file a Quo Warranto against "The State Ex Rel".

    Not only thay but I am awaiting the findings of the city's attorneys on an illegal detention and officers acting under color of law to file a suit via 18 USC 242...

    I may not be contributing to the trust at this moment, but ive got a mountain of evidence im about to share and wonder if anyone wants to go along for the ride...

    Not sure what the general consensus is here on using USC and state codes against then but using their own corrupt scheme it woukd seem I habe them. I am being met with the typical circling of the wagons by every department I encounter.

    So far Quo Warranto seems to be the most powerful weapon in the arsenal ive stumbled upon yet but theres so little info out there on it. Ill be sure to read the lunk. Thanks Shik

    shik, can you provide any examples of any successful "modern" Quo Warranto actions that have been filed?

    I can't seem to break out of the local Circuit court. That's what I'm trying to do. I think my next filing will be to the court of appeals, but the real meat and potatoes of my argument is this:

    Alabama Constitution Article 1 S35 "That the sole object and only legitimate end of government is to protect the citizen in the enjoyment of life, liberty, and property, and when the government assumes other functions it is usurpation and oppression." How can "The State" claim to be protecting the other party's rights when it can only do so by violating another person's rights? It's laughable to me. In a civil matter in a circuit court "The State" is going to move on behalf of the petitioner in the case... why? What damages can the state even allege for the court to have standing to hear the case??? Why does "The State" prejudice one party and not the other? It seems a blatant violation of the Equal Protection Clause... so then I move to that argument and try to find some case law... Then there's the question of why this is in my state Constitution: Article 1 s14- "That the State of Alabama shall never be made a defendant in any court of law or equity."

    Is that to specifically limit MY right to file a Quo Warranto against the phantom entity known as "The State"??

    Who is "The State"??? Why do they have an interest in seeing my adversary win against me in court? Aside from usurpation and oppression, what benefit is it to them that the moving party in the case wins??

    Where would this be filed for best results? Circuit Court which I can't seem to escape, District? Federal?

    I just can't wrap my head around this fiction called "The State"... it's like this demonic spirit that devours whom it will...

    Either way, I know they will be held to greater account and answer to the Almighty some day.

    Remember, the STATE acts on presumption of jurisdiction. So if someone doesn't want to be in their jurisdiction, they would need to rebut those presumptions, then remove themselves and their property from their jurisdiction.

    If someone is in their jurisdiction and doesn't know it, that someone would need to learn about the two jurisdictions then decide which one they want to be in.

    Remember, when it comes to public servants, violating God-given rights is par for the course.

    Correct. The constitution keeps public servants accountable; problem is, people don't know their God-given rights anymore. On the rare occasion someone brings that to light in front of another who makes their living off people's ignorance, yes they will get defensive.

    Because the child support agency is a STATE agency that manages those who cannot manage themselves. This is why it's important to learn to govern oneself outside of agencies.

    (None of this is legal advice.)

    Correct. A fiction cannot be damaged.

    I know nothing about Quo Warranto. But, I do know that lower courts (circuit, superior, district) are inferior courts that habitually violate people's rights. Even the Supreme Court admits this. It is the job of the upper courts -- federal, appellate, and supreme -- to "spank" the lower courts.

    It is, actually.

    In a Quo Warranto action -- or any of the prerogative writs -- the "The State" is not the defendant, it is the plaintiff. You, having an interest in the matter, are the relator ("ex rel") suing in the name of "The State". Quo Warranto is a test of the legitimacy of the office holder; that is, it is to determine whether the purported office holder holds such office lawfully.

    "The State" is the People thereof. The government is their agent. Quo Warranto is to test whether those agents occupy their purported offices lawfully. (One must be careful though, because de facto agents can have authority... if not objected to."

    I'd have to hunt for it. More than likely, such successful actions would have occurred more so in the past than nowadays.
