Early in my Proprietorial career I had a judge rule against me beginning with the following statement, “I don’t care what the law says ...”
I haven’t bothered watching the video, but the trial court is not the proper forum to challenge the constitutionality of a law.
If you are acquitted you have no standing to challenge it. If you are convicted, then you have standing and you can raise it on appeal.
So if I were the judge, I would have told the defendant to sit down and shut up. If he doesn’t like the law, he can appeal to a higher court.
The defendant is a pro per. I listened to a lot of it and he obviously had no idea what he was doing. I’ve defended innumerable cases like this. Pro per defendants are almost without exception in way over their heads and they trip over the simplest things. He should have had a lawyer.
if courts are not going to give justice, people will do their job they refuse to do.
If he has a decent Lawyer he should immediately file a deprivation of rights suit against this tramp PERSONALLY, and bankrupt the traitor:

Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or to different punishments, pains, or penalties, on account of such person being an alien, or by reason of his color, or race, than are prescribed for the punishment of citizens, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if bodily injury results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.
This statement must be the most infuriating and seditious proclamation I’ve seem from a “public servant” in a long while. Such a statement leads me to believe that there MUST be a Civil War in this country to pull our society back from the brink of annihilation.
just trying to get O’s attention for nomination to the Supreme Court
The judge should know that if there is no US Constitution, the judge then has no authority.
the lawyer can move that this judge be removed from this case for violating the constitution which she swore to uphold-
THAT is the dimocrat, liberal, socialist, communists of Amerika’s agenda. Hussein has done everything he can to do away with the Constitution. And, he has succeeded. The Constitution is basically worthless today. Ignored, abandoned. As is the freedom of the Republic. Destroyed. Gone. America is finished. What we had as kids is gone. It will never come back. The millions upon millions of illegals and the muzzies Obama is bringing here is for that purpose. To simply overload the nation. To swamp the nation into bankruptcy. That will be his greatest accomplishment. Destruction of the US Constitution.
I see what happened here. This was a procedural matter rather than substantive. If the man had an attorney, this would have been tossed on Constitutional grounds before a trial even started. But a jury is supposed to determine questions of fact, not law, and by failing to raise the Constitutional issue early enough, he lost the ability to raise it. Will he win on appeal? Most likely, since the judge really should have given the pro se defendant leeway, but I can see how he had a role in this travesty.
