> The Texas Republic— filed fake legal documents, that is “served” papers to the judge and a banker to “appear” in their “court” at the Veterans building for a “hearing”. That is to appear in a court with no legal (in the sense of current legal system of Texas) basis.
Now that is a no no. They have no standing to do that. I wonder who the genius was that thought that up. Folks if you’re going to keep shooting yourself in the foot and not be smarter than your opponent how can you expect to succeed at anything you endeavor to do?
In 1776, the colonies had independent militias, the elites who controlled the colonial legislatures were largely in favor of independence, and the British military, while the world's most powerful at the time, was mostly distant from the colonies. The British tired of their attempts to hold the American colonies and America became independent.
In 1861, the Southern states controlled their state military forces, the elites who controlled the Southern state governments were mostly in favor of secession, and the Federal military was small and scattered. Had it not been for the determination of Lincoln, the Southern secession would have been accomplished.
In 2015, no state controls more than its state police force and maybe a small State guard, the political and financial elites, whether conservative of liberal, think secession is abhorrent, and the Federal military is the world's most powerful, and largely stateside.
Reality is often ugly, but it is what it is.
I have no knowledge of jurisprudence - but is it really illegal to send a letter (signed by, e.g., the "Grand Duchy of Fenwick") ordering someone to appear before the Fenwickian Supreme Court?
I mean: How would that be different than my bowling club issuing a "cease and desist" order to someone? Unless they threatened violence in case of refusal to appear...
