Point #1: You have a strong political view but it's not the American view. The general feeling of the people of the United States, through its entire history is that we shoot dictators before members of their police forces and military shoot us. In the United States, the idea of using the judiciary to support organized criminal operations is not supported by the documents that define its legitimate existence. In other countries, there are no such limits to government and judicial authority as do exist in the US. Therefore, your statement is wrong. The role of the judiciary is roughly as you describe it, but you are absolutely wrong in the absoluteness of your statement. The highest legal authority is the Constitution. In the states, courts are also subordinate to their state constitutions. This limits the legitimate authority of the judiciary to enforce statutes and define law.

Point #2: It is an established fact that the current child support system was designed for profit. The political part of the system was copied from Soviet Russia. It violates state constitutions and the US Constitution to such a degree as to be blatantly unconstitutional in a wide variety of ways, from the establishment of paternity, through setting of child support amounts, and enforcing payment. Based on point #1 above, the courts never had legitimate authority to force anyone to comply.

Point #3: As with any such discussion, I'm watching your spin. As I mentioned in point #2, the political portion of the system was copied from Soviet Russia. You've declared fathers to be terrorists just as any common Marxist extremist would. (You might as well call them refusniks.) In keeping with the political view you're supporting, you must also believe it is the proper role of government to wage war against fathers and destroy the institution of marriage. The effort is intended to destroy a fundamental social unit just as communists would destroy every economic "class" except the one that communists believe will remain the most dependent and supportive of the communist dictatorship.

I believe that one of the proper roles of government is to exterminate anyone or everyone who takes up arms against a law enforcement officer engaged in his duties.

Yes it is true the Constitution (and treaties) are the highest law of the land, and every citizen has the right to have an opinion as to what that Constitution means. But the right to use force to enforce that opinion is restricted to the government, which has an absolute monopoly on the legitimate use of force. The sole exception to this is if the citizens, acting together, determine to abolish the government by revolution.
