The 5th Amendment is a federal law and supersedes any law you are referring to but fail to cite to buttress your otherwise vacuous claim.

Yes, well when it comes to vacuous claims I appear to be talking to the expert.

Rule 6 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure states: "When the public interest so requires, the court must order that one or more grand juries be summoned." The courts, not a bunch of lunkheads who may or may not have ever read the Constitution to begin with.

I think it's clear that a bunch of people can just get together and call themselves a Grand Jury. They can present to a court if they want (with or without wearing funny hats). What they don't get is that the court is under no legal obligation of any kind to treat them as a real Grand Jury. And no court will.

By the by, I did read the counts in the “presentment.” The second is the best—”You're a criminal because I say so, dang it!” Good demonstration of why courts don't take this type of thing seriously.

Maybe they should try “You're a criminal because I say THE GOD OF ISRAEL says so.”
