Gilbertson References: <3.0.3.16.19970728193159.3277e4aa@pop.primenet.com> Think RIGHT OF ELECTION, which was upheld by the Maine Supreme Court right after Dred Scott. When faced with the choice between two classes of citizenship, the exercise of this RIGHT OF ELECTION is directly pertinent. I pulled the few cases DOJ cited to dispute two separate classes of citizenship, and those cases are filled with dicta, and/or conclusions based on the presumption that the 14th amendment was lawfully ratified. Wrong!! Even if the 14th was lawfully ratified, subsequent cases have held that you can be a state Citizen without also being a federal citizen. THIS is now the main issue in our attack on the JSSA (you use "FJJS", yes?). Citizenship is a term of municipal law, and the Guarantee Clause does not require the United States to provide a Republican Form for itself, only for the several States. This is the pivotal matter -- not Otto Skinner's theory. The federal government is now trying to argue that if you are a state Citizen, then you are forced into federal citizenship, per force. This is absurd, particularly since the United States has descended into a criminal enterprise. This is like saying you must be a criminal if you want to eat in our town. BTW, what authorities does Skinner cite lately for creating the liability in the first place? /s/ Paul Mitchell http://www.supremelaw.com p.s. I am very curious: are you going to settle for reading the Appellee's Brief, without first reading the OPENING BRIEF? Is that giving a fair hearing to both sides? You wouldn't want the judges to do that, would you? At 06:02 PM 7/25/97 -0700, you wrote: >Paul Andrew Mitchell wrote: >> >> Dear Clients and Friends, >>.........
