On behalf of suitors - we agree. Our cumulative experience and modern electronic communications build something much greater than our constructions prior to StSC, even as recently as SJC. All reading here might understand that as the boundaries in cyberspace adjust to accomodate what we are willing to virtually explore and create, we will be entertained and edified as much as we might expect. The delay in putting the replacement up was by and large due to wanting something done right at first opening, also that particular week seemed to be an exceptionally slow week for snail mail. I even suspect the USPS was upgrading security systems and made no public mention of it.
Your post begs a definition for
suitor. From
the template, as seen on the banner here:
This is where the term comes from in this usage around here. Competent courts, judges instruct clerks and you read the meat of the LoR is the example
Clerk Instruction. The competency of the court, a court of competent jurisdiction is determined by the soundness of the Record and the clerk is the custodian of the Record. So reading quite literally the suitor has acquired the "exclusive original cognizance" of the United States government that was created to protect our property rights, nothing else. The constitutions were drafted and ratified so that parties to it (signors of oaths of office) would be regulated while the Preamble Union of People would acquire a higher form of self-governance; for the priesthood (the Levites inherited the Cities) that is City of XXXX/METRO -
home rule cities and towns. For suitors though, it is convening court over the kitchen table (and enjoying that right) six evenings a week while adjudicating the legal process from that mini-district court out front called the mailbox. Your Orders, Decrees, Opinions and Judgments are the highest rulings - true judgments - so long as facts will not come along and deteriorate them, and for the more important ones, you will utilize your clerk of court in the nearby USDC to keep a competent record. Competent common law where the common law is competent.
For the brain trust, it was a question that came up early. We even still have the ruling that if you want to teach you should have
a judgment in place. We can presume a fellow suitor is competent but to teach, we preferred early on that a suitor be able to prove by having a true judgment standing
res judicata on the public record. Ergo, that became the private definition of
suitor.
