Juries in Check Around the Nation
Payson, Arizona
The founders of a new legal cooperative -- the Supreme Law
Firm -- have just issued a ground-breaking formal challenge to
the process of selecting grand and trial juries everywhere in
America.
Paul Mitchell, one of the co-founders, has recently
documented a serious flaw in the laws enacted by Congress to
select jurors for grand and trial jury service. These laws are
found in Title 28, United States Code, Sections 1861 and 1865,
the federal Jury Selection and Service Act.
On the one hand, Congress has said that all citizens should
have the opportunity to serve on both kinds of juries (section
1861). On the other hand, Congress has also said that jury
candidates must be federal citizens (section 1865). Citizens of
the several Union states are not mentioned in these Acts of
Congress, and the omission was intentional.
Grand juries are convened to consider probable cause for
issuing indictments, or formal charges, against people suspected
of criminal behavior. Trial juries are convened to try those
people and to determine their guilt or innocence. Both kinds of
juries are now assembled entirely from voter registration lists,
which consist of federal citizens only. In many states, it is a
felony to falsify information on a voter registration affidavit.
Ever since the Civil War, Congress has been pushing hard,
through force and fraud, to get all Americans into a second,
inferior class of citizenship known as federal citizenship. This
class did not exist in the law before the Civil War.
Prior to that war, there was only one class of citizenship,
a class which today is called state Citizenship. This is the
class that is mentioned in the qualifications for serving in the
Congress and the White House. The term "United States" in those
provisions means "states United", and the "C" in Citizen is a
capital "C", not a lower-case "c" as in the case of federal
citizens.
Unfortunately for Congress, the U.S. Supreme Court has
ruled, several times, that class discrimination in the selection
of grand or trial jurors is a ground for proving that a jury is
not a legal body. This means that any jury which exhibits class
discrimination cannot issue lawful indictments, nor can it issue
lawful verdicts. There are two "classes" of citizens in America.
In fact, several courts have already ruled that one can be a
state Citizen without also being a federal citizen, regardless of
the Civil War and its ugly aftermath.
"We are prepared to stipulate that federal citizens have no
standing to challenge the obvious conflict between these two
statutes," says Paul Mitchell, the author of several court briefs
which are racing through the Internet at present. "But, when it
comes to Sovereign state Citizens, the class discrimination is
unmistakable, and unconstitutional."
At an introductory lecture last week in Mesa, Arizona,
members of the audience were enthralled by the prospect that
government indictments against state Citizens will soon be thrown
out. "The correct procedural move is to petition the court for a
dismissal, or a stay of proceedings, pending final resolution of
the challenge," explained Mitchell. A stay is a procedural
"freeze" on any further hearings, until the controversy is
settled.
Final resolution means that the matter will be finally
decided by the United States Supreme Court, probably after two or
more federal appeals courts decide the matter with opposite
results. This will almost guarantee a hearing before the Supreme
Court.
Sample briefs can be obtained from the Supreme Law Firm by
contacting co-founder Paul Mitchell at email pmitch@primenet.com.
With minor changes, the two briefs can be adapted to any state or
federal prosecution, no matter at what step in the proceedings.
Mitchell is even prepared to utilize their logic in habeas corpus
petitions, in order to release state Citizens from federal
prisons. Their indictments and convictions were decided by
juries that were not legal bodies.
