Inside St. Louis County’s Predatory Night Courts

IMO, voting gives one the false impression of doing something to make change. One can make much more progress when they stop and realize that who is in what office should be completely irrelevant to them, their property and their rights. All men and women need to also realize that they are controlled by division. They are left pointing fingers at one another when in fact, in almost all cases, they are not the cause of each others problems. Government was tied directly to commerce, yet it has escaped the bond and now prays directly on the substance of the people. That is where all our problems begin.

“But the States, by the exercise of the taxing power, can take from their inhabitants every cent the inhabitants can spare, and live.

The principle comes to this: that the States, in making the Constitution, intended to give up the power of self-preservation.

On the one hand, then, Congress may convert the General Government into a dictator; on the other, the States have not retained the power of self-preservation.

The justice is somewhat being 'coy' at that part of the case. The case goes further to toss the notion aside as nonsensical, to assert that Congress can make whatever laws it wants but they would be void if in conflict with the Constitution and the obvious intent of the framers and yet still goes goes further to reject the idea that SCOTUS could issue an order that the Supreme Court of Georgia had to obey. Constitution of United States was for federal citizens and federal subjects. District of Columbia is a "State" but not one of the several states. The Articles of Confederation are still in effect. So yes, who or what you put your trust in is important.

There is such a thing as a "vote of no confidence". If they had them in the USA (and maybe they do), there would be a lot they wouldn't have been able to get way with likely. A vote of no confidence can be used to completely oust an administration and install another suitable. Ever follow Italian elections and politics?

One potential snafu with voting could be where voters are held as "accommodation party" without any substantial power (like cosigners who have liability to pay but don't necessarily have right to enjoy the automobile).

EXACTLY! Remember the "Rock the Vote" campaign where entertainers went out to solicit the vote of the mentally dead? I suppose the cause is valid to encourage political activism in youth but in reality the youth vote for who they are told to vote. Very few are free thinkers and most are as sponges soaking up the non-sense that entertainers are paid to propound.

To REGISTER is to be affiliated [or to assign to one's self the paternity of a bastard] with the political society. It is expressed trust. To actually vote is implied trust. A voter understands the political society he/she helped to form.

The unity expressed by pumpkin is either expressed in an ARTIFICIAL MAN or is real and living. Enter the Law Merchant stage left. Ugghhhh.

You are correct. I agree with you entirely.
This is too big a jump for many to make.
