Since a Supreme Court opinion in the June 1992 case Manuel LUJAN, Jr., Secretary of the Interior, Petitioner v. DEFENDERS OF WILDLIFE, et al., federal courts have abused this opinion to block U.S. taxpayer access to the courts when seeking redress of grievances against federal acts, strictly on a “lack of standing” claim, totally unrelated to the case that created this legal theory.
For 207-years, the government didn’t block Citizen access to the courts on any “lack of standing” claim. This practice started in 1992… Scalia was correct in his opinion concerning that particular case. But that opinion should never be applied everywhere it has been since. Sadly, most Americans were never taught anything about the foundations of their freedom.
Twenty-eight years later, more than seventy cases filed across the country in an effort to present clear compelling evidence of blatant election fraud in 2020 were all denied the Right to present evidence in any federal court across the country. In every case, the federal courts claimed a “lack of standing” on the part of petitioners who filed the cases, as if American voters and taxpayers “lack the legal standing” to present evidence of election fraud or anything else the government does unconstitutionally.
Is the U.S. Constitution the “supreme law of this land” or not?
The U.S. Judicial Branch is most responsible for the undermining, usurping and destruction of our Constitutional Republic, via unbridled increasingly broad misinterpretations of law. Shortly after the adoption of the Constitution in 1787, Founders were already warning that they failed to tie the hands of the judiciary.
In a letter written to John Wayles Eppes, 1807, almost immediately following the adoption of the constitution, Thomas Jefferson wrote – “The original error [was in] establishing a judiciary independent of the nation, and which, from the citadel of the law, can turn its guns on those they were meant to defend, and control and fashion their proceedings to its own will.” (Rules of Precedence and Procedure)
By 1820, Jefferson wrote in a letter to Thomas Ritchie – “The judiciary of the United States is the subtle corps of sappers and miners constantly working under ground to undermine the foundations of our confederated fabric. They are construing our constitution from a co-ordination of a general and special government to a general and supreme one alone. This will lay all things at their feet, and they are too well versed in English law to forget the maxim, ‘boni judicis est ampliare jurisdictionem’ [good judges have ample jurisdiction]. . . . A judiciary independent of a king or executive alone, is a good thing; but independence of the will of the nation is a solecism, at least in a republican government.”
And by 1823, Jefferson wrote in a letter to A. Coray, October 31, 1823 – “At the establishment of our constitutions, the judiciary bodies were supposed to be the most helpless and harmless members of the government. Experience, however, soon showed in what way they were to become the most dangerous; that the insufficiency of the means provided for their removal gave them a freehold and irresponsibility in office; that their decisions, seeming to concern individual suitors only, pass silent and unheeded by the public at large; that these decisions, nevertheless, become law by precedent, sapping, by little and little, the foundations of the constitution, and working its change by construction, before any one has perceived that that invisible and helpless worm has been busily employed in consuming its substance. In truth, man is not made to be trusted for life if secured against all liability to account.” (alleged Case Law)
Two-hundred years later in 2023, the Judicial Branch has established via British Common Law, that no American citizen has “legal standing” to challenge the unconstitutional or unlawful actions of their government, relying upon the 1992 opinion above to establish this unconstitutional rule of the federal courts.
Why are American Courts using British Common Law, as if it’s Constitutional Law?
Meanwhile, those same courts are granting millions of illegal invaders access to our courts on arrival, along with billions in taxpayer funded benefits and Rights that average Americans no longer possess.
Millions of former military service members die homeless and hungry on our streets, while our government houses illegal invaders in 5-Star hotels across the country at enormous expense to taxpayers.
