Yes. We really
consent to be governed. How do we consent? Here's how.
A friend reminded me
that California doesn't recognize the common law. Common law is law
between and among the people, not legal law of the Government, not
legal law that tells us all the things we legally can do and can’t
do in our lives. My friend is right on, and so is California, along
with other States that don't recognize common law.
What does common law
have to do with it? Common law is above legal law. Consider the 6th
and 7th Amendments where we can take any man/woman to
court, in jury trial, for any infraction they have done against us,
or for ANYTHING WE MIGHT CALL AN INFRACTION EVEN THOUGH IT WOULDN’T
BE CONSIDERED SO NORMALLY.
A jury trial is a
trial between the people. It is a trial that is outside of legal law
if we want it to be. It is a common law trial. The law encyclopedia,
Corpus Juris Secundum, says in volume 25, section 344, that Federal
District courts are courts of record. A court of record power among
the people. It proceeds under common law, not statute or code law,
not LEGAL law. The tribunal is independent of the magistrate.
What in the world is
the tribunal? The tribunal is the group of PEOPLE that takes part in
the trial. It is the accuser, the one being accused, and the jury who
are the judges. It is NOT the magistrate, the legal judge who we
normally think of as being the judge. It isn’t any legal entity
like a cop, a State or Federal official. It doesn’t have anything
to do with an AGREEMENT of representation between any people.
The magistrate, who
we normally think of as the judge, isn’t any more than a referee in
the trial, to make sure proceedings are carried out in an orderly
process. Because of this, the State doesn’t have anything to do
with a common law trial, doesn’t recognize it, so to speak. Yet it
stands stronger than any legal law.
