Amendment Seven

I am stepping up the pace because things are escalating by our government. I said ‘our’ government. Whew, understand that a government is never ours. The government we instituted is as foreign to us as some government in Europe. All we can do is hope to keep it from devouring us. If we show weakness, it will do just that. Thomas Jefferson told us, “Lo that we ever be twenty years without a revolution…” Why? In twenty years, tyrants aren’t in such big numbers to have to destroy everything to rid ourselves of them. Despots are drawn to governments to ply their trade. Think of Washington as a commode that has to be flushed from time to time to keep it from becoming septic.

Today, your VII Amendment to the Bill of Rights.

Amendment 7
“In Suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise re-examined in any Court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.” Consider yourselves among the very few that have ever read your Bill of Rights at all. I gave a speech to over three hundred (wannabe) citizens. I asked for a show of hands if they had ever read the Bill of Rights. None were raised. When we decided to let government take over the education of our children, this is the end result. This from Ben Franklin: “A man who has been taught to know and prize the rights that God has given him cannot be enslaved it is the region of ignorance that tyranny begins.” This VII “Right” speaks volumes. It says that in matters of twenty dollars or more we are entitled to a trial by jury. The twenty dollars referred to here was a Spanish rolled coin of 271.25 grains of silver, a hefty sum in those days indeed. The next part of this ‘right’ has some very important legal terms. Lets look at the jury first. We don’t need seven lawyers to define our rights for us, we just need a dictionary.The 1913 edition is the tyrants edition. The 1828 edition is ours.

1913 edition: Ju”ry (?), n.; pl. Juries (#) . [OF. jurée an assize, fr. jurer to swear, L. jurare , jurari ;

akin to jus , juris , right, law. See Just,a., and cf. Jurat, Abjure.]

1. (Law) A body of men, usually twelve, selected according to law, impaneled and sworn to inquire into

and try any matter of fact, and to render their true verdict according to the evidence legally adduced.

See Grand jury under Grand, and Inquest.

JU”RY, n. [L. juro, to swear.] A number of freeholders, selected in the manner prescribed by law, empaneled and sworn to inquire into and try any matter of fact, and to declare the truth on the evidence given them in the case. Grand juries consist usually of twenty four freeholders at least, and are summoned to try matters alleged in indictments. Petty juries, consisting usually of twelve men, attend courts to try matters of fact in civil causes, and to decide both the law and the fact in criminal prosecutions. The decision of a petty jury is called a verdict. (bold mine)

Here are the supreme Court rulings based on this definition Georgia V. Brailsford (1794) “A jury has the power to judge the law in bringing a general verdict.” 3.US,1 (Dall) Here is the nail in our coffi: Sparf & Hanson V. U.S. “Jurors do not need to be informed of their power to judge the law in bringing a general verdict.” 156 U,S. 51,64C (1895) You are supposed to already know this! This will explain how this power can be used to take back our republic.

THE JURY, STUPID

You see that the trial by jury is in the Bill of Rights. It is our right to have a jury standing between a government and the citizen to protect them. It is a right! You have the right to be tried by a jury of freeholders. A freeholder in today’s jargon is someone that owns a home, not some drifter off the streets. A responsible citizen with an interest in his/her community.

The term “peers” is not used here. This is used today to get ethnic groups on the jury when some ethnic group member is being tried. A peer is someone who knows you and knows your circumstances. A jury is also our last line of defense against arbitrary laws by government. Arbitrary laws are unenforceable therefore, there is no end to the amount of force that government can apply to make us comply with that law. Laws that regulate your behavior fall into this category.

Prohibition laws are arbitrary laws that a jury can send back to the legislature. If you look at the 1913 definition above, you will see the definition that took one of our protections from us. You see where they deleted our right to judge the law? After the altered definition, all law schools, judges and lawyers were told to enforce the new meaning.

Our Constitution is a contract. Once both parties sign a contract, it cannot be altered. The original meaning of the word jury still stands. The 1828 dictionary was in the works for seventy years before it was published. Next is the law we agreed would govern our interactions with each other.

You see, a free citizen can only be governed by laws the citizen agrees with–otherwise he/she is a slave. We all agreed that “common law” would govern our interactions. Here is the basics of that law:

Something should stand out for you here after reading our law, and that is, if there is no victim, there cannot be a crime. Your life, your thoughts and your body belong to none other than you–that’s the very essence of freedom. In today’s Courtrooms the judge determines what a jury can and cannot see. That is a trial by a Jury and a Judge. Wrong again pale face. “Cannot be reexamined in any court…” The jury is the most powerful presence in the Court room. The Judge is just a referee. You, my brothers and sisters, are powerful self ruled citizens. Dance like no body is watching!
