how the U.S. government is no longer real. Has something to do with capital letters in U.S.A. or such.... his big thing was they did not have the right to tell him what to do. Like have a drivers license or require him to walk his dog on a leash. I'm not kidding here. Local town finally caught him walking his dog without the leash... From what I heard he got to spend 2 weeks in jail before they convinced him he would have to have a state I.D. to get out.

My point is you can argue all day long as to whether the government, local, state, Federal is legit... but when you show up in front of a judge that works for and is a representative one of those...
