Thanks so much for the research!
Glad it has gotten widely circulated
It isn’t a case of frivolous. It _is_ a case of:
_no_ jurisdiction; what so ever. A court that makes a ruling wherein they haven’t got legal authority, is breaking the law. Judges decide cases based on law. If there is no legislated law covering the case, then there is no case, no remedy, no jurisdiction.
Law is created by the legislative branch, only.
Law is not created by judicial precedence.
Jail for judges who decide a case without any law.
The only filing at a court, when it has no jurisdiction, is to inform the court that it has no jurisdiction.
To present your case therein is to _grant_ the court jurisdiction in the case.
Jail for judges that make a _ruling_ on cases in which there is no legislative law to making a ruling on.
