Subject: FYI: federal grand jury challenge
Hi Bob,
See "jus soli" in Black's Law Dictionary, any edition.
This is the "law of soil," or the "law of the land."
The U.S. Constitution is the supreme Law of the Land.
The term "Land" here refers to geographic territory.
The qualifications for serving in the House, Senate,
and White House, all share one thing in common: the
would-be office holder must be a Citizen of one of
the States United, because the term "United States"
in these provisions means "States United." See
1:2:2, 1:3:3, and 2:1:5 in the U.S. Constitution.
There is a second, inferior class of citizenship,
which is akin to a corporate franchise, that first
came into existence by virtue of the 1866 Civil Rights
Act, right after the Civil War. This second class
was allegedly recognized by section 1 of the so-called
14th Amendment, but that amendment was found to be a
fraud by the Utah Supreme Court in 1968, in Dyett v.
Turner (I have electronic copy). See also State v.
Phillips, Utah Supreme Court (1975).
Numerous court cases can be cited to prove that
one can be a Citizen of ONE OF the several States,
without also being a citizen of the United States.
The Alabama and Louisiana Supreme Courts did the
most eloquent jobs of spelling out this important
distinction. Under the Tenth Amendment, we enjoy
the "Right of Election," namely, choosing to belong
to one, the other, both, or neither, of these two
"classes" of citizens (4 cases).
The federal Jury Selection and Service Act ("JSSA")
requires that jury candidates be federal citizens.
This requirement blatantly discriminates against
Citizens of the several States, who choose not to
be federal citizens (read "citizens of the United
States"). Notice the subtle difference between
"Citizen" and "citizen" (CAPITAL "C", small "c").
The U.S. Supreme Court has often ruled that class
discrimination in the selection of candidates for
federal grand and trial jury duty is unconstitutional.
There are two "classes" of citizens.
There you have it, in a nut shell: the JSSA is
unconstitutional as applied to Citizens of the
several States, which you become if you were born
within one of those States, and which you remain,
unless you elect, knowingly, intentionally, and
voluntarily, to acquire federal citizenship;
very few have ever done so knowingly, intentionally,
and voluntarily ("KIV").
