Oh, For Goodness Sake

What Do You Think About The American Grand Jury, Terrible Tom?

TerribleTom – December 7, 2009

If you ask me, they could dispense with all the nonsensical pseudo-legal, hard-to-read rantings they submit with these “presentments” and send out the following flier instead:

We, the Super American Grand Jury, hate Barack HUSSEIN Obama just like you do. In fact, we hate the whole government and everything about it, from tax collectors to seat-belt inspectors to the Feds who poison your water with florides. We are looking for a grand jury somewhere — anywhere — with similar American values so we can get together for some good times.

If you are currently sitting on a grand jury that happens to consist mostly of malcontents, racists, tax evaders, village idiots, crazy people, teabaggers, bikers who hate helmet laws and/or paranoid schizophrenics (any combination will do!), please invite us to your secret proceedings so that we can show you how your grand jury can “go rogue”.

Yes, it’s true, You can ignore the corrupt judge and push aside the timid bought-and-paid-for prosecutor. Take matters into your own hands!

It’s exciting and it’s much more fun than wasting your time indicting ordinary burglars, rapists, robbers, murderers and other felons.

Still missing out on your 15 minutes of fame? This is your big chance.

Clearly, these AGJ folks need to change their P.R. approach. They need to put some oomph! into it. The direct approach is the best approach.

Haha. This gem was in reaction to yet another of the AGJ’s Resentments, this one in Tennessee, being denied last month.

11/06/2009 1 ORDER: The Court is in receipt of certain documents identified as “Grand Jury Presentments” filed by Mack H. Ellis. The documents purport to represent grand jury presentments for fraud, treason and election fraud against President Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic National Convention. Leave to file this presentment is DENIED. Further, though the papers presented to the Clerk of Court shall not be filed, they shall be assigned a miscellaneous number along with this Order for the Court’s record.. Signed by Chief Judge Todd J. Campbell on 11/6/09. (# 1 [RECAP] Attachment-Affidavit of Process-Serve and # 2 Attachment-Grand Jury Presentments)(as) (copy mailed to Mack Ellis) Modified on 11/6/2009 (af). (Entered: 11/06/2009)

Judge Scott Campbell, of the US District Court, Middle District of Tennessee, wrote in his Order:

Although presentments are constitutionally permitted, there is no authority under the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure or in the statutes of the United States for this Court to accept one. …

The individuals who have made this presentment were not convened by this Court to sit as a grand jury nor have they been selected at random from a fair cross section of this district. In addition, the individuals who have made this presentment did not meet under the supervision of any district court and, in fact, convened online rather than in person. Any self-styled indictment or presentment issued by such a group has no force under the Constitution or laws of the United States.

This is remarkably similar to what the AGJ heard from Chief Judge Royce Lamberth in DC just a few months ago. Well, it’s the same. Will they ever get it or will they just move on from court to court wasting judicial time and resources?

What a question!
