The Constitution itself conflicts with the Bill of Rights. Therefore a different perspective must be taken if one is to preserve one's Rights. If you accept the argument that the Federalists have been feeding us for years, then you will continually be like a dog chasing one's own tail. You will never bring the federal beast into conformity to the Bill of Rights because you will accept the proposition that the U.S. CONstitution is "supreme" over the Bill of Rights instead of the other way around. Even believing that the Bill of Rights is part of the U.S. CONstitution, then one must accept a document that is in conflict with itself. With the federal juggernaut in power, and set up the way it is, in violation of the people's true Jury and Grand Jury powers, you will lose everytime because now you have lost your Jury and Grand Jury powers to the federal prosecuting attorneys and judges. But in my view, even the Bill of Rights was tainted by Federalist infiltrators. For instance, Article VII states: "In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise reexamined in any Court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law." In other words, what this says is: "In suits at English common law of the Crown, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise reexamined in any Court of the United States, than according to the rules of the English common law of the Crown." This is the same English common law of the Crown that our Anti-Federalist forefathers hated and fought against. I suppose that this reference to a right of trial by jury was supposed to satisfy them. But is this Jury a People's Common Law Jury? NO!!!! And isn't it funny that NO FACT TRIED BY A PROSECUTING ATTORNEY'S JURY SHALL BE OTHERWISE REEXAMINED IN ANY COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES, THAN ACCORDING TO THE RULES OF THE COMMON LAW. [Meaning the English common law of the Crown.] So even within the Bill of Rights we find subterfuge and deceit. And what are Rights? They are the flip side of the same coin called Law. They are one and the same coin. Without Law, we have no Rights. Without Rights, we have no Law. They are both expressions of the same subject, viewed from different angles. sincerely, gene karl Ed wrote: > > Gene Karl wrote: > > > > From: Big Al > > To: anti-federalist@egroups.com > > Subject: Re: [anti-federalist] Re: [anti-govt] Null And Void > > Date: Fri, 11 Feb 2000 19:01:43 -0500 > > > > Hate to say this but yes.
