... Ronald Vrooman, who calls himself a “private attorney general,” and James “Jimi” O’Hagan, acting as a “legal intervener,” have both filed paperwork with the U.S. District Court in Portland, seeking to participate in the case brought against Ammon Bundy and 25 others.

But federal Judge Anna Brown is having none of it.

Not only did the federal judge recently refuse to grant the pair legal standing in the case, she ordered the court clerk to return their “legal” paperwork and refuse to accept anything further from anyone advocating “common law courts.”

“When the Court receives any submission for this matter that is not from a named party or any attorney admitted to the Bar of this Court representing a named party, the Court directs the Clerk to return the document to the sender with a copy of this Order or seek further direction from this Court as to any particular nonparty submission,” Brown wrote in her court order ...

1. So is that a nice way of saying, "not lawyers"?

So what is keeping these self-identifying law dogs from taking the Bar exam? Guess the easiest way to a goal, is the Sovereign way.

3. It indeed seems they're indeed not attorneys. But even if they were, they couldn't just file

papers in the case

2. As soon as someone uses the word "sovereign", you know they are full of shit.

The word actually means "supreme or absolute" authority.
Sarah Palin loves to throw this word around and I don't think she haws a clue what it means.

4. My friend volunteers in a legal services agency in N.J. One of these sovereign assholes shows

up at her office and proceeds to explain that she doesn't need to provide a Social Security number to the office because she does not recognize the authority of the court.

"Well, without the SS number, you are not going to get the benefits you are here to petition for."

"O.K., my SS number is --- -- ----.

'nuff said.

6. Guess what, boys?

You are cordially invited to go piss up a rope. Judge Brown isn't impressed with your legal stylings, and you aren't going to get to come riding into her courtroom on a white horse and get your comrades in dumbassery sprung from the pokey. Now run along home before she decides to sic the Marshals on you.

7. Shit. Those guys are basically 14 year-olds with beards, beer bellies, bad attitudes,

and delusions of grandeur.

I remember as a kid, building forts with my friends to keep out girls and anyone else who 'didn't belong.' It's the kind of thing rational people grow out of before too long.

8. Time to for them go back home and beat off to their Ayn Rand books.
