Your Poison Ivy League Constitutional Scholars hard at work

The 5th Amendment in the Bill of Rights states in part –

(1) “No person shall be held to answer for a capital or otherwise infamous crime unless on a
presentment or indictment of a grand jury;”
(2) “nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself;”
(3) “nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law;”

The grand jury was originally designed to be a check and balance on the Prosecutors office, preventing
prosecutors from using their elected or appointed position to carry out illegal or unconstitutional
wrongful prosecutions for personal or political purposes. The language in the 5th Amendment exists to
force a Prosecutor to acquire a grand jury indictment before operating as an independent agent, using
the power of their office to seek wrongful prosecutions.

However, your lofty “scholars” have systematically violated section (1) of the 5th Amendment above,
first by placing the command and control of the grand jury under the prosecutor’s office, circa 1930s. As
a result, prosecutors are no longer limited to cases brought by a grand jury presentment or indictment.

TODAY – “If the grand jury decides not to indict, it returns a "no bill." However, even if a grand jury
doesn't indict, the prosecutor can return to the same grand jury and present additional evidence, get a
new grand jury, or even file criminal charges regardless.”

The power now rests entirely with the power of the prosecutor. While local prosecutors are usually
elected, all Federal Prosecutor is a political appointee. The grand jury is essentially, irrelevant, as the
prosecutor can decline to prosecute a grand jury indictment, or prosecute regardless of receiving a “no
bill” from the grand jury.

The Judge and Preliminary Hearing – Every day we see examples of the new standard in American
justice, the presumption of guilt, rather than the presumption of innocence – the burden of proof,
shifted from the accuser to the accused.

Nowhere is this unconstitutional trend more visible than in any modern U.S. Criminal Court. The
Prosecutor is presumed to be right and the accused is presumed guilty, even when the grand jury
returned a “no bill.” The system now demands that the accused “prove their innocence.”

(2) The current House Impeachment of a duly elected President, without any allegation of a crime and a
presumption of guilt, while being denied a trial in the Senate, demonstrates just how far the USA has
drifted away from any sense of real justice, even when accusing the President of the United States. Item
(2) above is violated on a daily basis, including in the Impeachment of a sitting President, wherein the
accused has no direct witness against them, and is not allowed to even know who his accusers are…

Item (3) above suggests that every U.S. Citizen, including a sitting President, has a Right to Due Process
of Law and that no one shall be denied Life, Liberty or Property without Due Process of Law. When the
House of Representatives passed two Articles of Impeachment against President Donald J. Trump, and
then refused to forward those Articles to the US Senate for trial, the President is denied “Due Process of
Law.”
This happens to average Americans every day in this country. But the public spectacle of watching the
Democrats in control of the House, perpetrate this on a sitting President, denying due process and
obstructing justice, the message to all American citizens should be quite clear.

We are not a nation of laws, but rather a nation run by lawyers who not only operate outside of the law,
but in direct violation of the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights.

The American legal system has been turned on its head, for many years now. British Common Law, rules
of precedent and procedure, is the primary tool used by “scholars” to undermine the Constitution and
Bill of Rights, making the lawyers the lawmakers, interpreters and enforcers today.

In an 1807 letter to John Wayles Eppes, Thomas Jefferson wrote - “The original error [was in]
establishing a judiciary independent of the nation, and which, from the citadel of the law, can turn its
guns on those they were meant to defend, and control and fashion their proceedings to its own will.”

This is the steady work of the “legal scholars” at the Poison Ivy League law schools. Over the past 240
years, they have done exactly what Thomas Jefferson and other Founders warned of, only months after
the ratification of the U.S. Constitution. The American BAR Association is a private club for lawyers
trained to undermine the Constitution. Only members of the BAR are chosen to sit on Federal benches.

In a letter to Thomas Ritchie dated December 25, 1820, Thomas Jefferson wrote - “The judiciary of the
United States is the subtle corps of sappers and miners constantly working under ground to undermine
the foundations of our confederated fabric. They are construing our constitution from a co-ordination of
a general and special government to a general and supreme one alone. This will lay all things at their
feet, and they are too well versed in English law to forget the maxim, ‘boni judicis est ampliare
jurisdictionem’ [good judges have ample jurisdiction]. . . . A judiciary independent of a king or executive
alone, is a good thing; but independence of the will of the nation is a solecism, at least in a republican
government.”

Until these abuses of power within the U.S. Legal System are corrected, there can be no peace, no
freedom, no liberty and no true justice…
