More on Common Law Grand Juries; Dr. Orly Taitz Update

By Phil

Sam Sewell, prolific blogger at TheSteadyDrip, posted two articles regarding common law grand juries.

The first article pulls from columnist Mark McGrew who explains the basis for such a grand jury (excerpted here):

The fifth amendment of the US Constitution states: ?No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on the presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury?.

So who or what is a Grand Jury?

Most Americans, including most Judges, most prosecutors and most lawyers think a Grand Jury is a function of the government, at the whim of the government, under the control and direction of the government. However, this is constitutionally false and always has been.

Americans are educated to believe that America has three branches of government: The Judicial, The Legislative and the Executive and that is they who decide our lives. This also is false. There is a Constitutional force which has power, authority and dominance over those three branches.

That is the The Grand Jury of We The People. The Grand Jury was intended to give the people of the United States of America total control over a potentially corrupt government and to enable prosecution of corrupt or criminal government officials, agents and employees, whether they were elected, hired or appointed.

The Constitution of The United States of America was created and designed to give the individual or collective people of America the power to tell the government what to do. The government, including the President of the country has no Rights to make Americans do anything that is not permitted by or is contrary to our Constitution. The US Constitution especially has no provision for an illegal alien to be our President and pass laws that we do not permit or condone.

United States Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia ruled in the case of United States vs. Williams, 504 U.S. 36 at 48 (1992):

?Rooted in long centuries of Anglo-American history, Hannah v. Larche, 363 US 420, 490 (1960) with J. Frankfurter concurring in result, the Grand Jury is mentioned in the Bill of Rights, but not in the body of the Constitution. It has not been textually assigned, therefore, to any of the three branches described in the first three Articles. It is a constitutional fixture in its own right.?

To be crystal clear: The Grand Jury is a Constitutional fixture in its own right. …

In a second article, Bob Campbell, Editor for AmericanGrandJury.org, talks about the kinds of evidence the online grand jury is seeking in order to produce a presentment (another excerpt):

…PHYSICAL EVIDENCE: Images, web links, stories, articles, photos, videos ? anything and everything that could be construed as physical evidence regarding Barack Obama, Barry Sortero, Barack Hussein Obama as it applies to:

1 ) Birth Certificate fraud, forgery, misrepresentation;
2 ) Selective Service documents fraud, forgery, misrepresentation;
3 ) School records or School loans pertaining to Obama history, fraud, misrepresentation;
4 ) Campaign information pertaining to fraud, illegal contributions, voter fraud, voter registration fraud;
5 ) Democratic National Convention information pertaining to illegal vetting of candidate, misrepresentation, fraud;
6 ) Job history, finances, friends, associations pertaining to background of Barack Obama and questionable actions, fraud or misrepresentation;
7 ) Presidential endorsements, actions, sanctions, executive decisions or acts by Obama that could be construed as anti-American or acting against the best interests or will of the people of the United States;
8 ) Abuse of Executive Power that is directly in violation of the laws of the Constitution of the United States of America;
9 ) Fraud against the people using the Internet and/or news media to usurp power and hide the truth;
10 ) Aiding and abetting known enemies of the United States, violating the Logan Act, acting against the best interests of our foreign allies;
11 ) Violating the rights of the people of the United States by usurping power and authority by restricting freedom of speech, free enterprise, or ownership of property or by agreeing to or pushing for unfair taxation or improper spending of taxpayer dollars or by approving such legislation that would weaken our economy, devalue our currency, restrict our banking or our investments;
12 ) or such other crimes or charges as the people of the United States would wish to uncover or pursue. …

EXPERT WITNESSES: If you think you may qualify as an expert witness because of your background, skills, knowledge, sensitive positions, or through chance or opportunity as it relates to any of the evidence stated above we would like to hear from you:

1 ) Example: You worked for the DNC and you overheard information about the illegal vetting of Obama;
2 ) You have knowledge or information about illegal contributions to the Obama Campaign;
3 ) You have knowledge or information about voter fraud, or voter registration fraud;
4 ) You can testify as to the Birth Certificate, Selective Service documents, School records, etc., as to their forgery, fraud or misrepresentation thereof.
5 ) This is just a few examples of what might apply; there can be many more examples of expert witnesses. …

Also, Sam provides the following evidence as to the independence of grand juries:

Because grand juries are generally composed of ordinary citizens with no special training or experience in the law, they usually follow the lead of the prosecutor assigned to them. The classic complaint of defendants’ attorneys is that grand jurors would indict a ham sandwich if the prosecutor asked them to. But they don’t always do as the prosecutor wishes, as Jeannene Pacific, the district attorney in Jones County, Mississippi, discovered. Ms. Pacific became the target of her own grand jury when it sought to investigate over $35,000 paid by the county’s Worthless Check Unit to Pacific and her staff as “salary supplements.” Alarmed, Pacific asked the local court to forbid the grand jury’s actions. Although the local court did so, the Mississippi Supreme Court ruled that the grand jury had the power to investigate:

The grand jury must be free to pursue its investigations unhindered by external influence or supervision so long as it does not trench on the legitimate rights of any witness called before it. The court generally cannot limit the grand jury, its legitimate investigation, interfere with its investigatory function, control the nature of its investigation, prohibit consideration of offenses within any particular class of crimes, stay its proceedings, dismiss a matter, or do various other things.

Ms. Pacific and her assistant eventually repaid over $30,000.

In somewhat related news, blogger Citizen Wells recently spoke with Dr. Taitz regarding her web site situation:

I just got off the phone with Dr. Orly Taitz. We spoke for a while about her website and the recent controversy. Dr. Taitz has a new website for Defend Our Freedoms.

http://repubx.com/

Orly stated that Defend our Freedoms is her foundation and that she has been blocked from accessing her data on the previous website. She is still committed to the cause of exposing the truth about Barack Obama.

We also spoke about the US Supreme Court, Justice Scalia, Chief Justice Roberts and law clerk Danny Bickell. She and I are both concerned that Bickell is still employed at the Supreme Court after all of the shady dealings that she and other attorneys experienced from Danny Bickell.

Dr. Orly Taitz will attend the San Antonio, TX tea party and stated she will be willing to stay an extra day if enough citizens are willing to meet with the local FBI office and initiate a Citizens Grand Jury. She also stated that her expenses are very high. Every time that she travels she spends at least a thousand dollars. She is providing her services pro bono, so it is not asking too much for people to donate to the cause to help with expenses.
