WASHINGTON, May 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Federal Ethics Center (FEC), a watchdog organization protecting the rights of United States citizens, urges Congress to promptly hold hearings regarding troubling events occurring in the United States 5th Circuit. FEC's letter to members of Congress outlined several examples of recent erratic 5th Circuit initiatives as follows:
After making the threats of violent punishment in this civil lawsuit, Judge Furgeson handed down an unprecedented order, imposing a federal receivership on Mr. Baron's person, literally making him the chattel property of the judge's colleague. Furgeson's action is the first time in American history that an individual has been placed into a receivership. If this order is not overturned, the consequences for all Americans could be far reaching.
Judge Furgeson's order transfers "possession and control" of "all receivership parties" and "assets", which specifically includes the person Jeffery Baron, to a court appointed receiver. To date, the 5th Circuit Court has declined to stay the actions taken against Mr. Baron. Mr. Baron has been held in a civil lockdown for the past 15 months, without counsel, without trial and without due process.
Despite no criminal or incompetency allegations, the 5th Circuit has taken away Mr. Baron's legal rights and made him a ward of the state. This dangerous precedent is poised to set in motion a rapid expansion of receivership laws against law abiding American citizens.
Part of Mr. Baron's plight may be viewed at WashingtonExaminer.com, LawInjustice.com and facebook.com/savejeff.. In addition, a petition sponsored by human rights organization NOTEGA can be found at SaveJeffBaron.com. The transcripts of Mr. Baron's proceedings can be downloaded at FederEthicsCenter.com

Maybe they’re getting away with something because no one can friggin’ understand what this means!
A law, by definition, cannot strip one of their Constitutional rights; only a Constitutional Amendment may change one’s Constitutional Rights. That said, a compliant Supreme Court can redefine what is Constitutional, but only if Congress declines to Impeach.
It would just codify that which has been in effect for decades, if not centuries.
Which law is it that you think Judge Smith disregarded? One from this planet?
Exactly, all I can do is chamber another round and smack a pumpkin at 800 meters
What an absolutely godawful post. It makes absolutely zero sense and doesn’t even approach making a point.
BLUF, dude, BLUF—Bottom Line Up Front. Don’t expect me to click through three dozen links. Outline your issue, argument, and the supporting facts. Supply links as extra resources so your analysis can be verified independently.
This s**t ain’t rocket surgery.
BTTT
just bear in mind this is a press release. somebody paid someone to write it and someone to publish it.
“A law, by definition, cannot strip one of their Constitutional rights; only a Constitutional Amendment may change one’s Constitutional Rights. That said, a compliant Supreme Court can redefine what is Constitutional, but only if Congress declines to Impeach.”
‘Constitutional rights’ is a misnomer. There are no such things because the Constitution does not grant us or give us any rights. The Constitution enumerates certain rights and limits the government as to how it can interact with or infringe on those rights.
Therefore, our rights cannot be extiguished by a law or even by a Constitutional amendment because the Constitution has no authority over our rights. We, the People, are the sole authority of our rights. The Constitution limits the power and scope of government.
...or brain science.
...or brain science.
Or the American people fail to respond and counter!
You’re outraged because I posted a post twice but only clicked it once. Either that or you are outraged to learn something important has been going on decades if not centuries and you, as I, still don’t know precisely what it is. But it matters a lot. And you’re outraged.
LOL
This is an easy one:
All Your Base Are Belong To Us.
And got ripped off. Badly.
