Apr. 7--A Monroe County, Tenn., man who was arrested after authorities said he barged in on the county grand jury and demanded an indictment of President Barack Obama was freed on bond Tuesday, records show.
Walter Francis Fitzpatrick contends that President Obama is an illegal alien whose real name is Barry Soetoro.
In what he labeled an "affidavit of criminal complaint" and took to the Monroe County court clerk's office on Friday, Mr. Fitzpatrick wrote that "individuals named below are hereby declared domestic enemies of The (sic) United States of America in commission of treason."
In addition to President Obama, local officials and District Attorney Steve Bebb, he also names members of the president's cabinet, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Michael Mullen, Defense Secretary Robert Gates, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Vice President Joe Biden.
When the court clerk wouldn't issue a warrant, Mr. Fitzpatrick, who is described as a retired U.S. Navy lieutenant commander, took the documents into the grand jury room. He also tried to make citizen's arrests of the grand jury foreman and, later, Sheriff Bill Bivens, records show.

Ms. Taitz will have company in the asylum.
Beat joining Obama’s “sinclair” club, as you have. Funny you ridicule the patriots that are convinced Obama is a fraud and are trying to do something about it, but you think a marxist POS like Obama is as honest and sane as the day is long. What a puke you are.
No one said Obama is as honest and sane as the day is long. We simply said that obviously deranged, self-ridiculing stunts devoid of the slightest chance of achieving anything are not activities to be encouraged or lauded.
Obama is lying through his damn teeth about his birth circumstances and you want folks to just play nicey nice like the capons called Republican politicians?
What was he thinking when he signed that executive order sealing these records from public scrutiny? After all, Bush didn't stop the public from examining his records.
He must have access to A LOT of money! How much did he spend to block access to that birth certificate?
Sigh...another keyboard badass, no insult is too low from behind the safety of your internet connection. I expected better from you pissant. For the record, there are plenty of conservatives who think that Taitz is a raving nutter, and this fellow in Tennessee obviously fell from the same tree.
So the only alternative to selling out is to be a deranged loser embarrassing yourself in public without even the sense to know it? Anyone who thinks pathetic stunts like this count as anything has simply let their rage overwhelm their rational faculties.
"Lt. Cmdr. Walter Fitzpatrick and I, along with five other patriots, went to the Monroe County [TN] courthouse Thursday, April 1, to serve some criminal arrest warrants While Fitzpatrick filed for the warrants at the court clerk’s office, James Bowman and I called the Madisonville Police Department to tell them we planned to make a citizen’s arrest at the courthouse and we wanted a police officer to go with us. The police dispatcher told us an officer was on his way to help us.http://www.scribd.com/doc/27029190/U-S-Grand-Jury-Institute-Inc-Investigative-Report-Monroecountytn-021110Bowman and I then went to the courthouse to help Fitzpatrick serve the warrants. We covered all the exits to be sure Gary Pettway couldn’t leave undetected.
According to Tennessee law, the term of a grand jury foreman is limited to no more than two years. City and county officials have refused to investigate Monroe County Judge Carroll L. Ross for convening grand juries using the same jury foreman, Gary D. Pettway, for the past 27 years."
"25 (twenty five) years of illegal prosecutions will cost TN's tenth District????
In case this escapes you I'll remind all who read this... For the past twenty five (25) years, the Monroe County 10th Judicial District has been convenening illegal Grand Juries and every Indictment or action handed down is null and void. Do you here that, residents of this district? Null and void!
All Lt. Commander Fitzpatrick ever asked for was a fair hearing in front of a duly formed Grand Jury and was repeatedly denied.
A man can only take so much and he reached the end of his legal peaceful rope with no recourse left so now this 10th District will be under the gun for denying its citizens due process in every case adjudicated and evry case since 1985 can and should be re-opened. Suits should be filed for wrongful imprisonment and whatever elese the Lawyers deem fit. ""TCA Rule 6 (g) (3) states: "The foreperson shall hold office and exercise powers for a term of 2 (two) years from appointment" This Foreperson has been such for the past 27 (twenty seven) years. "
Listen, assmunch, you are a troll. You signed up to FR to defend Obama and that is all you have done here, repeating media matters talking points that we’ve heard over and over.
Why you are still here, I have no frickin clue. But you should have been axed a long time ago.
So take your sanctimonious, Obama licking bullsh*t elsewhere.
Fitzpatrick's supporters claim Pettway is actually term limited to two years, meaning every case heard by the grand jury in the past 25 years is null and void. Courthouse employees reported they fielded unending calls Tuesday concerning the situation, with most callers being civil, but a few were reported to be threatening.
Monroe County Attorney Jerome Melson said there is legal precedent showing Pettway has broken no rules serving as grand jury foreman for 27 years. He cited a case from 1983 in Robertson County where William Hailey claimed he had been wrongly indicted in 1975 due to the fact only three people had served as grand jury foreman in 28 years. In 1983 the Tennessee Court of Appeals ruled there is no language in Tennessee Criminal Court Rules of Procedure stating a grand jury foreperson is limited in how many terms they can serve.
“As I understand this ruling,” Melson said, “the Tennessee rules concerning the service of a grand jury foreman contains no term limits.”
Why you are still here, I have no frickin clue. But you should have been axed a long time ago.
So take your sanctimonious, Obama licking bullsh*t elsewhere”
Again, no one has expressed admiration for Obama or his policies. You keep reverting to that false accusation because you don't have any actual argument to offer.
If you're so impressed with the deranged Lt. Commander, there's nothing stopping you from convening your own make-believe Grand Jury, coming up with your own arrest warrant, repeating his foolish stunt and getting yourself arrested as will. If you don't do so, you're either lazy or deep down know better. I'll do you the courtesy of assuming the latter.
It is NOT a false accusation. You ARE an Obama Troll. And more than likely a flippin retread. NO CONSERVATIVE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND, in fact no conservative in their wrong mind, would spend all his time researching what the Obama apologists are saying to defend the indefensible and post those regurgitated left wing talking points here again and again and again.
It’s not just the most recent Lt. in question. You have mouthed the same bullsh*t I’ve seen on the professional, leftwing, ‘protect Obama from the birthers’ websites. I’ve seen all of your BS posts. Everyone of them. Same troll crapola, buddy.

Most of what is posted here are simply facts available from government sites, court filings, legal records and newspapers. I don't have to go to some left-wing site to find them; they're readily available to a casual search. It seems that your definition of “left wing” is simply anything that doesn't support your position.
Conservatives care about facts. We are supposed to face up to reality. There is absolutely nothing conservative about the crank stunt Lt. Commander Fitzpatrick pulled. People thinking coherently disavow stuff like that.
Again, if you're so convinced he's right, go try your own citizens arrest of a grand jury foreman. Let me know how it turns out.
If that's not a term limit...what is?
What they're saying is that you can serve an unlimited number of 2-year terms. That would hardly be unprecedented in state and local practice across the country.
The deranged Lt. Commander didn't even serve his arrest warrant for that anyway. If you look at his idiotic documents, he accuses them of being domestic enemies of the United States committing treason.
I mean seriously, go look at the video. Start with the poor young lady he's trying to file this nonsense with. The look on her face says she knows she's dealing with a lunatic. And his oh-so-proud confrontation with Mr. Pettway (sp?). The poor guy tries to be polite with an obvious lunatic and conducts himself with a basic sense of professionalism that should be applauded.
"The foreperson shall hold office and exercise powers for a term of two (2) years from appointment"
If that's not a term limit...what is?
“The foreperson shall hold office and exercise powers for a term of two (2) years from appointment”
If that's not a term limit...what is?”
I already answered that. There is a direct case precedent in Tennessee cited that says you do not have to have a new grand jury foreperson every two years. The same person can be appointed to multiple consecutive terms.
So when the quoted individual says no “term limit,” he is speaking in the common vernacular to mean there is no limit on the number of terms an individual may serve. This is hardly controversial or unusual in state and local municipalities. To go on and on about it like it's a crime is simply to reveal one hasn't the slightest idea what one is talking about. That one will make a mountain out of even the most nonexistent mole hill if it supports the goal of ranting about Obama.
Sone of them feebly claim that the reason they attack all attempts to discuss 0bama’s eligibility and anyone trying to do something to resolve it is because they “don’t want the MSM/administration/Dems to think we’re/Repubs/FR are kooks/nuts/etc”.
Some don’t even bother with that charade.
There is not a limit to consecutive terms in what you’ve posted, hence no term limits. Congressmen only hold and exercise power for a term of 2 years from election, but they get re-elected every two years.
