the court declares that Nevada is part of the United States, he is subject to US laws, and he is competent to stand trial.

Nevada's Constitution does that:

The U.S. constitution and its laws apply to all people inside the territorial boundaries of the United States.

How one feels about that (Bundy) doesn't matter at all.

But not to the United States government.

Well, given the Nevada Constitution, anyone inside of Nevada cannot make that claim.

but the U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land and nothing in any state constitution has any bearing on that whatsoever.

The Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution (Article VI, Clause 2):

And throw away the key. He can claim to be a Martian, for all I care. Fook him!

They are full of these supposedly magical phrases that they think act as get out of jail cards. However he is using an original definition of idiot accurately to be honest.

I love showing libertarians the 16th amendment when they start yammering about how income tax is unconstitutional.

He's trying to say that he's too stupid to know that all the stuff he was doing is illegal.

Your sovereign citizen (a term they're trying to get away from) believes no law applies to him.

I believe superman prison should be used sparingly if at all, but also believe Ryan Bundy can only be sent there.

Is that where they have kryptonite bars? Just kidding. Yes, I agree he belongs in jail, for a long time.

Prison is a university for criminals, and the sovereign citizens use it to train other people in how to be sovereign citizens.

Sovereign citizens claim "sovereign citizen" is a contradiction in terms, like "smart Trump voter." They claim "sovereign" means King and "citizen" means slave so "sovereign citizen" means "King slave." I fucking despise sovereign citizens.

Oh, it was comedy gold. I could watch it over and over again.

"I'll pull over for $300,000." And then the cops did stop her, and she was pulled over for DUI.

This is the one I'm referring to:

Not realizing of course...

(1) the Articles of Confederation were turned off the day the Constitution was turned on

(2) under the AoC all men are equal but some men are more equal than others

(3) "free inhabitant" means you are not:
A) in jail
B) poor
C) someone else's property
D) an indentured servant
E) in a state of penisless
F) not a landowner

and

(4) Article 4 is what is now the Privileges and Immunities clause of the Constitution, not a license to enjoy all the liberties America offers without fulfilling any of your responsibilities. The only difference between the two: the P&I clause doesn't just apply to the rich.

Unfortunately, I've seen it. That cop has the patience of a saint.

Read a bunch of crap on the internet, and thought that it applied to her. The deputy is correct in saying "Then we would just have anarchy" if this "free inhabitant BS was for real.

And even 2500 years ago still didn't mean you were immune from laws, just that you didn't engage in their civic origin. In the age of Athenian pure democracy (well for male property owners of native birth at least) an idiot was a person who was not involved with any business of the various assemblies and juries (and juries were hundreds strong) by choice. This was very unusual behavior looked upon with suspicion but wasn't illegal per se. It didn't however mean they could not be punished by those who were involved.

But since about the 15th Century CE nobody has actually used it in that sense except pedantic classicists like me in discussions like this, and apparently sovereign citizen...well...idiots. The only normal usage since the late Middle Ages has been for mental incompetents.

Thanks for posting it.

for its intended origin. But the Athenian idiots still had to obey the laws.

He could be writing a mandate for the GOP, they are all incompetent idiots.

I think a few months in a federal psychiatric hospital while his competency is decided would fix that.

Dolts like that deserved to be mocked, loudly and frequently.

and then go to war with him?

Maintained with FEDERAL tax dollars, for free.

Refuses at acknowledge the rule of Federal law.
Caught in an escape attempt.

Wants additional privileges in order to assist in his own defense?
Sure. What can possibly happen with that?

He's got the "idiot" part right. Devoid of a clue otherwise.

If he gets it, he will use it to rally other traitor citizens to kill cops etc. until he is set free. No, Ryan, we'll give you a Black's Law Dictionary and, because you believe you're going to be tried in admiralty court, a copy of Rocks and Shoals.

hanging around in Southern Utah and here in Nevada. All belonging to the same fake Religion.

It's an anti-government movement which arose out of the white supremacist movement, and now has many black adherents too. The Baton Rouge shooter was a sovereign citizen.

buds. And yes,there are a hand full of others.

he will be in jail soon.

SC dogma says if you say certain phrases in exactly the right way, the courts will decide it's not legal to prosecute you and just let you walk right out the door. If you look at the filing he made that's in the OP you'll see the words "all rights reserved." Sovereign citizens believe you can copyright your name (you cannot - the copyright office has a list of things that can't be copyrighted and names are on it) then sue the courts for billions of dollars if they put your name on any legal paperwork.

he gets his case dismissed.

Idaho used to have a state insane asylum (not a "mental hospital" - this joint was One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest-level bad) at Orofino. The mental health care deforms pushed by Reagan caused the state to discharge all the patients and convert it to a medium security prison. Within a year of reopening as a prison, most of the patients who hadn't killed themselves had returned.

that is an invasion so he can be held as a invader

... to steal another sovereign entity's land.

Duh.

============

Guess who wins?

Here, witness the utter inanity:

from the bounds of federal law? If I say I'm Sasquatch, does that make it true?

And drop him off.

It would be worth it for the government to supply little one man boats for anybody that claims to be a sovereign citizen, drop them off, and tell them they're on their own.

isn't much of a party now that they are in jail.

Or coupons good for play at Trump's golf courses.

Trump took charity write offs for games given away.

I pretty much expect them to used that as an excuse to be an asshole.
