Trifecta of Stupid

This is prolly never a good thing to tell a federal judge:

Donavan, representing himself, told Marschewski that he and the U. S. government were an artificial entity and that the magistrate had no authority over Donavan because he was a not an artificial entity.

“You have no power over me,” Donavan told Marschewski. “I am a living, breathing, free man of the Earth.” Henningsen, Donavan and Dimmitt have filed several documents with Marschewski’s office stating they were not U. S. citizens over which the government and the courts had authority.

Just another example of Rita's Rule:

Reading a lawbook does not qualify one to be a lawyer any more than reading the Bible qualifies one to be the Pope.

I used to monitor a prison legal library and noticed that, without fail, every time a new person would start reading the law books, usually within the first hour he or she would jump up yelling some version of, "I've found it! I'm out of here!" Of course, as you well know, they never really were.

You can imagine some of the conversations I have to have with people. It's usually some variation of 'there's all kinds of independent evidence busting me 6 ways to Sunday but I wasn't read my rights the exact moment I was handcuffed so I'm getting off scot-free right?'

I think people watch too much tv.
