Subject: Re: The Congress Controlled Territorial Courts Are Administrative Courts Of Admiralty Law Date: Sat, 09 Jun 2007 22:14:27 +0000 From: rcwcodebuster@comcast.net To: jacklancaster@sbcglobal.net, American Indian News ... >From Luis Ewing at (253) 226-3741 or rcwcodebuster@comcast.net or rcwcodebuster@yahoo.com Sorry, but this is WRONG!!!! There is NOT just THREE (3) TERRITORIAL COURTS in the United States!!!! ALL FIFTY (50) STATES UNITED STATES DISTRICTS COURTS ARE IN FACT AND LAW "TERRITORIAL COURTS." The SUPERIOR COURTS in ALL FIFTY (50) STATES are in fact and law LOWER DISTRICT FEDERAL COURTS, i.e. the SUPERIOR COURTS are all TERRITORIAL COURTS!!!! I am a Constitutional and Historical Researcher who has personally gone to Washington D.C. on two separate occassions and did the on hand and personal research in the NATIONAL ARCHIVES and the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS to research all State Constitutions, Enabling Acts and State versus so called Federal Jurisdiction only to discover that all original dejure State governments were set aside at the end of the Civil War where the 5th article of the Reconstruction Act's ordered all the States to suspend and set aside all former governments and their Constitutions and to establish and put a NEW CONSTITUTION in place for all the NEW STATES in the NEW UNION. I can easily prove to ALL of you out there that ALL STATES are NOT States, except in NAME only to fool all of you into believing that you live in a State, which are really TERRITORIES. For EXAMPLE, SENATE BILL 185 the so called ENABLING ACT that purported to authorize Washington, North Dakota, South Dakota, Idaho and Montana to convene a 2nd Constitutional Convention, Frame a New and 2nd Constitution and ELECT A NEW STATE GOVERNMENT, I have discovered NEVER PASSED BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS and therefore Washington, North Dakota, South Dakota, Idaho and Montana are STILL LEGALLY TERRITORIES and are NOT States because ONLY ONE (1) HOUSE OF CONGRESS approved the ENABLING ACT, SENATE BILL 185!!!! Similarly, I also discovered that most all the other so called STATE'S ENABLING ACTS LIKEWISE WERE NEVER PASSED BY BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS!!!! EVERYONE knows that it takes BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS TO MAKE LAW!!!! The FACT that SENATE BILL 185 the so called ENABLING ACT for WASHINGTON, NORTH DAKOTA, SOUTH DAKOTA, IDAHO AND MONTANA NEVER PASSED BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS is absolute and conclusive PROOF that WASHINGTON, NORTH DAKOTA, SOUTH DAKOTA, IDAHO AND MONTANA are still in fact and law TERRITORIES & POSSESSIONS OF THE UNITED STATES!!!! And THE FROSTING ON THE CAKE that proves this is so is the FACT that the very 1st Session Law that established ALL THE SUPERIOR COURTS in Washington clearly states in the Session Law and it's Senate Bill and House Bill that ALL THE SUPERIOR COURTS are "LOWER DISTRICT FEDERAL COURTS!!!! That's RIGHT, the Washington State Session Law passed by the Legislature clearly states that all the Superior Court's in Washington State are LOWER DISTRICT FEDERAL COURT'S!!!! That PROVES that there are NO STATE'S IN EXISTENCE!!!! That PROVES that there are NO STATE COURT'S IN EXISTENCE!!!! That PROVES that it's ALL FEDERAL PERIOD!!!! Their is an abundance of case law out there that specifically says that when the people get together and frame a HANDWRITTEN CONSTITUTION and ELECT a government under THAT Constitution, that Territory becomes a State from that point on!!!! However, ALL States have SUSPENDED their Original State Constitutions and placed them into THE ARCHIVES DIVISION OF THE SECRETARY OF STATE for each and every State!!!! Look up the legal definition of ARCHIVES!!!! Then look up the STATUTE in your so called STATE STATUTE BOOKS and look at the LEGISLATIVE ACT that first established and created the ARCHIVES DIVISION of your SECRETARY OF STATE'S OFFICE and see how your State Legislature defined your State ARCHIVES!!!! Now go visit your STATE ARCHIVES and ask the Head Archivist of your State to explain to you what is purpose of having an ARCHIVES and ask him to provide you a copy of their MISSION STATEMENT!!!! EVERY STATE ARCHIVIST will tell you that the ARCHIVES is a place where they put legal documents that are NO LONGER CURRENTLY IN USE AND SCHEDULED FOR DESTRUCTION!!!! Now ask your STATE ARCHIVIST, ATTORNEY GENERAL and the GOVERNOR of your so called STATE WHY IN THE HELL IS THE ORIGINAL HANDWRITTEN STATE CONSTITUTION IN THE ARCHIVES DIVISION OF THE SECRETARY OF STATE'S OFFICE, or is it currently in use or NOT and see what ANSWER that they give you, ha, ha, this ain't very funny folks, but do take the time to go down to your capital and visit the STATE ARCHIVES and ask these questions and see what their answer is or isn't???????????????????? Martin Luther King told us the TRUTH, we ain't pledging an allegiance to the flag and to THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS, because like Martin Luthor King said, "WE LIVE IN A DEMOCRACY." I am NOT talking about POLITICAL PARTIES here!!!! Do any of you really believe the SPIN that they took the pledge of allegiance out of the public schools ONLY on the grounds of separation of CHURCH & STATE???? They also took it out because they didn't want some "smart ass" kid asking: "TEACHER, WHY DO WE PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG AND FOR THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS, WHEN WE DON'T LIVE IN A REPUBLIC AND WE LIVE IN A DEMOCRACY, I DON'T UNDERSTAND"???? They do NOT want children to grow up learning or knowing or finding out what is the MAJOR DIFFERENCE between a REPUBLICAN versus a DEMOCRATIC FORM OF GOVERNMENT!!!! They did NOT want children to find out that WE DO NOT HAVE THREE (3) BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT AND THAT THERE IS NO "CHECKS AND BALANCES," AND THAT WE ONLY HAVE ONE (1) BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT that combined all three (3) branches into ONE (1) BRANCH CALLED EXECUTIVE and that ALL GOVERNORS are also the PROVOST MARTIAL'S for all the STATES who also gives a MILITARY COMMISSION to better than 50% percent of the State Patrol Officers. The Revised Code of Washington at Title 38 is entitled MILITIA & MILITARY AFFAIRS which clearly states that EVERY AGENCY & DEPARTMENT "in this State" or disjunctively "within this State" ala THE BUCK ACT is under THE DIRECT CONTROL AND SUPERVISION OF THE MILITARY!!!! EVERY STATE HAS A SIMILAR CHAPTER that LIKEWISE says that every agency and department in your STATE is also under the direct control and supervision of your MILITARY!!!! That is the CODIFICATION and implementation of that part of THE RECONSTRUCTION ACTS that says that the general principle that the Military Authority is subordinate to the Civil Authority is now hereby REVERSED and now the Civil Authority is now subordinate to the MILITARY AUTHORITY!!!! Every NEW STATE CONSTITUTION PRESUMES that every MALE WHO OWNS A GUN who is between the ages of 18 to 46 is in THE UN-REGULATED MILITIA!!!! Every STATE MOTOR VEHICLE CODE says that you have A DUTY to stop when signaled by a State Patrol Officer or "peace officer." Now ask yourselves WHY DO YOU HAVE A DUTY to do anything IF you are NOT in the MILITARY????? Go read your NEW & PHONY SO CALLED STATE CONSTITUTION in your so called STATE STATUTE BOOKS and then go to the ARCHIVES DIVISION of the SECRETARY OF STATE in your so called STATE CAPITAL and order a copy of the very 1st Original De Jure State Constitution AND READ THE MANY MAJOR DIFFERENCES!!!! ALL STATE COURTS are in Fact and Law LOWER DISTRICT FEDERAL COURTS PERIOD!!!! THE STATES NO LONGER EXIST!!!! ALL 50 STATES ARE IN FACT AND LAW "UNITED STATES CORPORATIONS." ALL 50 STATES HAVE A FEDERAL TAX ID NUMBER!!!! If the case law out there says THAT ONE (1) SOVEREIGN CANNOT TAX ANOTHER!!!! If ONE (1) SOVEREIGN CANNOT TAX ANOTHER SOVEREIGN, why then is FICA & SOCIAL SECURITY being deducted from your so called STATE SUPERIOR COURT JUDGE'S PAY CHECK???? If your so called STATE SUPERIOR COURT is really a STATE COURT, why does your so called STATE COURT have a FEDERAL TAX ID NUMBER???? If your so called STATE is really a State, why then does your so called STATE have a FEDERAL TAX ID NUMBER???? You guys are WAY BEHIND and need to STOP listening to all the PATRIOT GURUS, PATRIDIOTS, PAYTRIOTS FOR PROFIT and COMMON LAW COURT SCREWBALLS who have all NEVER won a case of any significance, and START DOING YOUR OWN RESEARCH at the law libraries, the Archives Division of your Secretary of State's Office and at the National Archives and Library of Congress in Washington D.C. STOP reading all the BS PATRIOT MYTHOLOGY that you find on THE DIME A DOZEN PATRIDIOT COMMON LAW COURT WEB SITES who only repeat the misquotes and misstatements of law that they heard about at some WRONG WAY LAW MEETING, TEAM LAW MEETING, AWARE GROUP MEETING, ERWIN ROMMEL SCHOOL OF LAW MEETING, THE AMERICAN'S BULLETIN, THE JUBILEE, THE SPOT LIGHT, etc., as most of these COMMON LAW COURT YO YO'S are just plain IGNORANT OF THE LAW and don't know SQUAT ABOUT THE LAW!!!! You can learn more about THE LAW from any DIME A DOZEN PARA-LEGALS in the YELLOW PAGES in 1 day than you can in ten years of attending those SCREWBALL COMMON LAW COURT WACKOS!!!! 99.99% of what you read on the Internet is CRAP that won't help anyone WIN ANY KIND OF A CASE!!!! Take everything you read on the Internet with a grain of salt and do not rely on anyone else's case quotes until after you have pulled a physical copy of the case yourself at the law library and read it yourself is THE ONLY WAY TO GO!!!! DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH IS THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN WIN IN COURT!!!! Sincerely Luis Ewing -------------- Original message -------------- From: Jack Lancaster *The Congress Controlled Territorial Courts Are Administrative Courts Of Admiralty Law* Throughout the history of the federal government, Congress has established courts for the territories of the United States. Generally, these courts have exercised a combination of federal and local jurisdiction. The structure and authority of these courts have varied widely as a result of congressional responses to the challenges of establishing federal judicial authority in diverse areas. In the early years of the feder al government, Congress typically established for each territory a superior court with three judges appointed by the President. It also authorized the territorial government to establish other courts as necessary. In some territories, the superior court judges served during good behavior, and in others they served a fixed term of four years. In some territories, the judges served with the governor to enact laws until the territory?s population was large enough to qualify for an elected legislature. In the early nineteenth century, only in the Orleans Territory (later the state of Louisiana) did Congress establish a U.S. district court for an area organized as a territory. For all other territories, Congress in 1805 extended to the superior courts the authority to exercise the jurisdiction of federal district and circuit courts in all cases in which the federal government was concerned. The act organizing the territorial government of Wisconsin in 1836 established a new model for territorial courts that Congress generally followed into the twentieth century. Congress created a four-tiered judicial system for Wisconsin, with a supreme court, three district courts, probate courts, and justices of the peace. The three judges of the supreme court were appointed by the President and in Wisconsin served during good behavior. Beginning with the act organizing the territory of Iowa in 1838, territorial supreme court judges were appointed for four-year terms, and in 1884 Congress provided future territorial supreme courts with four justic es. After 1836, these judges also presided over the territory?s district courts. The nineteenth-century territorial supreme courts were limited to appellate jurisdiction, and the district courts were granted the same jurisdiction as U.S. district and circuit courts in cases involving the federal government. The supreme and district courts of the territories possessed chancery and common-law jurisdiction. Territorial supreme court cases involving more than $1,000 could be appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States. Congress made occasional revisions in this territorial court structure, particularly in territories outside the continental United States and in territories with large Indian populations. There are currently three territorial courts within the feder al system. The district courts of Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Virgin Islands exercise the same jurisdiction as U.S. district courts, as well as local jurisdiction. Judges are appointed by the President and serve terms of ten years. The Virgin Islands district court is part of the Third Judicial Circuit, and the district courts of Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands are part of the Ninth Judicial Circuit. The U.S. District Court for Puerto Rico was a territorial court from its establishment in 1900 until 1966, when Congress provided that future judges appointed to the court would serve with the Article III protections of life tenure during good behavior and immunity from reductions in salary.
