Mike Lindells motion to get his phone back and have a special master appointed was just denied by the court. The court cited the 11th Circuits reversal in the Trump case. Trumps ridiculous motion helped Lindell lose his. So much winning on the Trump Train!

(3,471 posts)They concoct notions like the existence of a separate "straw man" persona represented by writing one's name in ALL CAPS and file bizarro legal documents purporting to transfer their debts, tax bills, etc, to the "straw man" so they don't have to pay up.

(66,328 posts)that if the court's American flag has a yellow fringe, it means the court does not have jurisdiction over the defendant. I mean, that's just some crazy shit there...

(16,389 posts)I hadn't heard that one! But it sounds like something those so-called "sovereign citizens" would come up with.
Aristus
(66,328 posts)The first recorded use of fringe on a flag dates from 1835, and the Army used it officially in 1895. No specific law governs the legality of fringe. Still, a 1925 opinion of the attorney general addresses the use of fringe (and the number of stars) "... is at the discretion of the Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy ..." as quoted from a footnote in previous volumes of Title 4 of the United States Code law books. This opinion is a source for claims that a flag with fringe is a military ensign rather than a civilian. However, according to the Army Institute of Heraldry, which has official custody of the flag designs and makes any change ordered, there are no implications of symbolism in using fringe.
Individuals associated with the sovereign citizen movement and tax protester conspiracy arguments have claimed, based on the military usage, that the presence of a fringed flag in a civilian courtroom changes the nature or jurisdiction of the court. Federal and state courts have rejected this contention.

(16,389 posts)It's a good thing there was nothing in my mouth when I read that last paragraph.
Aristus
(66,328 posts)So if you do a deep-dive exploration into the world of "sovereign citizens", leave the beverages at home.

(51,094 posts)It's like a mental illness. The stuff they believe is so crazy that they always represent themselves because no attorney would file anything containing their ravings.

Oh well, hopefully they will find a sink hole to bill the life out of him.
