“CLEARLY SCRAMBLING”

(Sep. 2, 2015) — As you read this article you may find it too legalistic to keep your interest. But keep in mind, even if you are not prone to getting involved with gun rights or the many breaches of our Constitution, it just might interest you to see just how much the legal system has been corrupted and manipulated by political operatives who care nothing about our founding documents and everything about leftist ideology. So please, read on.
Several years ago when the leader and founder of the SAPPA Group, Mr. Nicholas E. Purpura, presented his ideas to TPATH and many other organizations and patriots, he warned all of us just what we would be facing. And brother, was he right.
The Brief which was filed with the United States District Court in Trenton this past April has stirred up the state bureaucracy. Poking a hornet’s nest, agitating rattlesnakes and walking in on a mother grizzly feeding her cubs would seem like a walk in the park, by comparison.
When the filing was first served on the entire lot of civil rights violators, many of the Defendants, noting the Petition was being submitted “pro se” (by a non-attorney) clearly did not take it seriously. As a result, low level and newbie attorneys were assigned to present the defense for several of the Police Chiefs, and the State handed the case to a similar grade attorney in their department.
That was then and this is now. They are all, currently in the process of finding out that The Eagle has some very sharp talons of his own. And hence the scramble is on, the tails are rattling, the hornets are buzzing and the grizzly has risen to her hind legs.
It is quite evident that the attorneys for the legislative defendants and the regulatory defendants erroneously surmised that they would be able to send this Purpura guy and his non-Harvard-educated filing off into the pit of New Jersey’s unconstitutional cesspool. It’s equally clear that those who eventually had to submit replies did so, in a “helter-skelter,” hurry-up fashion after realizing that the ploy they had anticipated, had backfired on them. You see, believing they would never have to submit a defense, they did not, it appears, even bother to read any part of the Brief except the part that declared it was “pro se.”
As we explain, in the following paragraphs, why the attorneys thought they had no need to respond to the Claims of Relief of the Brief, even though a Court Order gave them a specific time in which they had to, we want to make it very clear that we are not claiming there was a collusion between the Federal Court and the State Officials. But what we will do is lay out what happened early on in this case and let the reader decide if there was or if there wasn’t.
First, we know as a fact that the Defendants did not prepare a defense which they were required to do by Court Order. We also know that once they realized they had to, resulting from some unanticipated happenstance, their defense was lame, uninformed and was based upon no legal precedents. And we know too, because they delayed, not only were their responses amateurish and vacuous, they were untimely. (Which means they were late.)
The question then must be asked, why? Did they know of something that they thought would create a situation where they would have no need to do the work required to defend their clients? Of course we don’t know this, but here are some disturbing facts.
After serving the Brief, Mr. Purpura waited a few days to hear form the Court. He did in fact receive confirmation, a docket number and the name of the Judge who would be adjudicating the case.
A few days later, Nick made an inquiry by phone to the Court. Basically to keep in touch and find out if there was anything he needed to know. He told us from the start that we should expect some type of ploy, but he had no idea what it would be. He was about to find out.
During that call, while speaking to the Court Clerk he referenced a “Court Order.” Not knowing of any order from the Court, Nick pressed the Clerk, who was clearly scrambling now as he realized he had let the cat out of the bag. Nick demanded to speak to the Judge’s Clerk, was connected and here is what he discovered.
Read the rest here.
It is way too easy to get lost in a forest. Nameless clerks in all of our court system have authority that seldom if ever has accountability to go along with that supposed authority.
