Thank you for posting this! Just about sums it all up for me.
The Federal Grand Jury is the 4th Branch of Government
Most of this article is going to quote other scholars, judges and legislators as I piece together a brief but thorough history of the federal grand jury for your review. But the punch line is my personal contribution to the cause:
“Investigating seditious acts of government officials can be deemed inappropriate or unavailing by the prosecutor, or the judge can dismiss the grand jurors pursuing such investigations. Consequently, corrupt government officials have few natural enemies and go about their seditious business unimpeded.”
UNITED STATES CITIZENS SITTING AS FEDERAL GRAND JURORS ARE THE FOURTH BRANCH OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT.
My input into this vital fight is no more than the analysis of a few carefully used words. It only took a small sleight of pen back in 1946 to hide our power, and it won’t take more than a few words to take that power back. But a proper overview is necessary for most of you who are unfamiliar with the issue at hand. So let me provide you with some history and then we’ll see what went wrong and how to correct it.
HISTORY OF FEDERAL GRAND JURY POWER
I want to draw your attention to a law review article, CREIGHTON LAW REVIEW, Vol. 33, No. 4 1999-2000, 821, IF IT’S NOT A RUNAWAY, IT’S NOT A REAL GRAND JURY by Roger Roots, J.D.
“In addition to its traditional role of screening criminal cases for prosecution, common law grand juries had the power to exclude prosecutors from their presence at any time and to investigate public officials without governmental influence. These fundamental powers allowed grand juries to serve a vital
An honest newspaper! From their Editorial Staff. Good to know there’s apparently at least one decent paper.
Bears repeating. Especially at the "media" as they whine about states trying to dilute what Zero is trying to do to this country (and they will!). Love the part about the light bulbs. I'm going to check and see if Florida will do the same.
[[We don’t endorse the ignoring of laws]]
Not sure why not? Especially when our elected officials ARE ignoring hte laws and removing our rights? Not too long ago the federal government tried enacting a federal law (caqn’t remember what it was, but it was an assault on freedoms If I remember right) And many states took a stand and said “Nope- Not on our watch you’re not goign to do this to the peopel you SERVE!”) and htese states stood strong agaisnt hte federal law, and refused to abide by it and forced the government to back down because htere was no way for hte government to enforce the law in the states that refused to enforce it
The PEOPLE hire officials to SERVE THEM=- the officials are NOT hired/elecvted to serve themselves and noone else- When an elected official REFUSES to serve the peopel any longer, and does deals behind colsed doors i nthe middle of the night because they KNOW the peopel woudl reject the proposal- then the elected officials are NOT doign the job they were hired to do.
The peopel then have a right and responsibility to REMOVE that official from office OR to refuse to abide by the laws that violate their freedoms- NY has a PERRFECT opportunity to stand up now and REFUSE to abide by the tyranical gun laws- but I doubt they will do so- Wayne Lappierre has a PERFECT opportunity to tell the federal government “Nope=- NO MORE gun laws- You can’t even enforce3 the ones you already have, and there are THOUSANDS of laws and you have gone way too far in your restrictions- the peopel say NO MORE! but it’s doubtful wayne will do so
[[His administration also announced that marijuana crimes would not be a “priority” — again, picking and choosing which laws to enforce.]]
A perfect example of LAWLESSNESS BY OFFICIALS who are elected to enforrce laws, NOT to ignore them nor to make them without due reprsentation (Boston Tea Rebellion?)- they were hired to do a job, and they are FAILING to do their job- You or I when we fail to do our job- We get FIRED!
FALSE!
Not only ignoring laws, but breaking laws. For example federal, state, and international laws were broken during the fiasco called Fast and Furious.

Now is the time to proudly fly your Gadsden Flags, ( I have the black background Gadsden too), and attend to take over your local RINO Cave-In Meetings.

Well said
Remember Rosa- FUBO!
Nullification was first termed by Thomas Jefferson, in his Kentucky Resolution of 1798. The resolution was created in response to the unconstitutional federal Alien and Sedition Acts. These acts were a clear violation of the First Amendment. Nullification allows the states to protect the rights of citizens from federal encroachment.

Last night, I tried my hand at nullification
It did me good.
I knew it would.
Tonight , I shall repeat this operation,
To stretch my ire,
to my desire.
I chomped it, stomped it
Caught it in the door.
Smashed it, crashed it, wiped it
on the floor.
And all of this I say is very simply grand,
To nullify the law
just by the power of my hand!
“Washington” has become a word that describes a living entity. “Washington did this, Washington did that.” We used to be Washington. But no more.
