Constitution was violated and that his right to Due Process of Law under the 5th Amendment was also violated. He also claims that they ignored his 1st, 6th, 7th, 8th, 10th, 13th and 14th Amendment Rights thereby rendering his defense which was based on the U.S. Constitution, which he refers to as the Supreme Law of the Land an exercise in futility. Grismore says that he is suing the above named men along with the twelve Jurors as individuals and not as Government Agents claiming that whenever any Government Agent exceeds his jurisdiction a citizens Constitutional Rights, that that agent renders himself subject to a Civil Rights Suit and that his immunity against prosecution ceases to exist. Asked what his chances are for success in this Civil Rights Suit under Title 31, Sections 1983, 1985 and 1986, Grismore replied, Excellent! If we are not successful in getting a hearing by violating responsibility upon anyone. Those who would bow their backs in obedience to every unconstitutional statute passed by a Socialistic Congress are no better off than the Israelite Slaves of centuries ago for they have given up their unalienable rights by default and, therefore, deserve to be slaves. Grismore was then asked if he didn't think it was a little unfair to include the Jurors as coconspirators. He replied, Not at all. Ignorance is no excuse for committing unlawful and When those injurious acts. Jurors swore to abide by the instructions of the Court they ceased to be a Jury of my peers amd became, instead, a tool in the hands of the Government. Trial by Jury is in reality a trial by the country that is, by the People as distinguished a trial by the from government. Quoting from a book entitled An Essay on the Trial by Jury, by Lysander Spooner, Grismore wxnt on, The object of this trial by the country, or in Federal District Court then by the people, in preference to a will we proceed to call upon the t,rial by the government, is to thousands of interested citizens guard against every species of of Utah for the purpose of oppression by the government. In order to effect this end, it is calling a Citizens Grand Jury. We will then present indispensable that the people, ourevidence before the Grand of the country, judge of and Jury for the purpose of determine their own liberties obtaining indictments against the Conspirators. instead We will then ask the Citizens Grand Jury to impanel a Citizens Jury and therein we will try these men. And this process is entirely legal because it is authorized by our God inspired Constitution which is still very much in effect today. The. sad thing about all this is that we, as citizens, have been so apathetic so as to allow our Judicial System to become so When a Federal perverted. DistrictJudge, such as Aldon J. Anderson, can sit on the Bench and instruct the Jury that the Constitution is irrelevant here, then it is time that citizens everywhere wake up to their awful situation and see that some changes are made. The Constitution is not irrelevant in Court or in any case any because it is, in fact, the mandate of the People and not the Courts and as such is the basis of all law. Any statute which is obviously unconstitutional need not be obeyed from its inception because it is unconstitutional and therefore illegal from its P Are i against the of government; the governments judging of anddetermining its ow'n powers over the people. How is it possible that juries can do anything to protect the liberties of the people against the government, if they are not allowed to determine what those liberties are? Grismore concluded, If Juries assumed their rightful power of deciding the law as well as the fact, then the Judge would be limited to the responsibilities of a referee Jean Stoddard Since ultra-LiberSenator Frank Church of Idaho, the mad treaty-makof the Senate", has settled himself comfortably in the Foreign Relations Committee of the Senate, elaborate schemes to do away with America altogether via the Treaty Route, are being cranked out like link sausages. We ve had the Atlantic Union Treaty to merge with with foreign nations. We.ve gagged on the Genocide Treaty. We are being doused by the Seabed Treaty-- a grand design to turn over all the oceans in the world and the pollution control thereof, plus all of the natural resources found .therein, to the United Nations. Now comes something called the Patomic River Basin Compace to put all private property under control of Commissioners. This little smelly plot fragments America into 22 river basin systems, reassembling the states under river basin commissions whose members, it is said, will have Americanized names, but will be Citizens of another country! They say, The new compact is actually a new constitution for the U.S. which would become the District of Columbia. Citizens must wake up to the fact that it is their duty to exercise restraint on those who are misusing their public office to subvert the law. Madison said that the Treaty making power did not give the President and the Senate the power to dismember the empire, or to alienate any great, essential right." al er Any transference to any . international body outside of the United States would be dismembering the empire." George Nicholas (a Framer of the Constitution) said, in essence, that the Senate and the President has been delegated only certain powers, and that their treaty making powers must be consistent with these. They could not, for instance, violate any of the great, inalienable rights in the Bill of Rights-thes- e include our rights to freedom of life, liberty, property, which is entirely the way it and speech, the right to should be. Juries would then be religion and bear arms, etc. what laws are keep able to decide constitutional and what laws are unconstitutional and with such power would be a checkmate on the powers of Congress and a Champion of the Peoples God inspired Constitution which is yours and my mandate. If concerned citizens do not start assuming this power when called to Jury duty then the time is not too far distant when the heavy heel of Government will come crashing down on all of us and the light of freedom will be lost forever.

Farm magazines are forever featuring articles extolling the advantages to the farmer of establishing the family farm into a corporation. However, there is one distinct disadvantage that they never mention: law states that Constitutional natural persons, and they alone, are entitled to privileges and immunities under the federal Constitution, and a corporation is not a citizen within the meaning of these provisions. (Constitutional Law Volume 16-- A Corpus Juris Secundum) SEPARATION OF POWERS Many of the socialistic laws w hich have been passed violate a very important concept departments of government derive their authority from the same source, (the People), they in equal degree represent the sovereignty (which has been delegated to them), and each within its own sphere is supreme and independent, and the several departments are not merely equal, but are also exclusive. Each of the departments of government must perform the duties assigned to it, and may not delegate such duties to another department, and it is an established fundamental and of principle constitutional law that one department cannot interfere with or encroach on either of the other departments, in the absence of an express provision therefor, notwithstanding, the constitution does not expressly so require. If any department of government acts beyond the bounds of its authority, such action is without jurisdiction, unconstitutional and void. (p. 484 16 C.J.S.) OUR RIGHTS STILL EXIST Some think that just because we have not used a provision in the Constitution for a long time, that this means that it no longer applies. But this notion has no basis in fact. Constitutional law says: It is no argument against the existence of a power or right granted by the Constitution that the power has been but recently exercised oi that the right was not early asserted. And many pow ers lodged by the Constitution in the legislative department long lie dormant until the exigency arises to invoke them into activity."

Under this concept, the legislature may only j make laws, the judiciary may only j judge the laws, and the executive department may only enforce the law. None may usurp power nor may they delegate their power to one of the other departments. Since all the The law states: county, together with the keeping of a castle, was committed to the was referred to as sheriff, Comitatu et Castro Commisso". The Sheriff was in charge of the law enforcement in the County, and all of the men of the County were required to come (fully armed) to his aid to help defend the jurisdiction of the County when they were called upon. These men Posse were referred to as the Comitatus". The Posse is provided for in the common law of our Republic. State Statutes usually provide for the existence of the posse, and under Duties of the Sheriff"in your .state code, you will, find that the Sheriff is in charge of the Posse Comitatus of his county and has the authority to call them into action. However, if the Sheriff refuses to do his duty, the posse has the lawful right to act in the name of the Sheriff. The Second Amendment refers to the Posse as the Militia, and protects this right of County law enforcement. The Militia is not the the National Guard, as some confused persons would have us believe. Federal statutes clearly establish the National Guard as part of the regular military, and expressly forbid any moneys assigned to the National Guard to be used for any Posse Comitatus activities. The Posse Comitatus is not a part of the regular military. They are legally described as all of the men in the County between 18 and45 years of age (others may volunteer) who are . not a part of the military There is no just J ication for saying that since we have had no use for the Posse for many years that it is no longer legal. It is just as legal now as it has ever been. The Constitution provides for it. and it is also provided for in the common law. Constitutional law states that the common law is of equal force with the statute law. Liberals become very upset when In feudal days the castle was the center of a community, and the lands belonging to it and the political jurisdiction thereof was referred to as the County. The county court was a court of great antiquity and of great dignity in early times.
