Common Law and UCC 1-308

Common Law and UCC 1-308

Article III, section 2 of the organic Constitution defines the kinds of judicial power the courts have:

1.common law
2.equity
3.admiralty
4.maritime
At the common law - a crime exists only when there is a victim with actual damages like a broken arm.

In equity - otherwise known as civil law a private contract is or agreement is involved. For an action to be brought there must be a breach of contract and damages.

Maritime - or commercial contract law originates in the rules of trade upon the high seas between international merchants and is enforced by military organizations.

Admiralty - is armed enforcement of the laws of commerce(the law merchant)

Where did you see this?

I looked up Article III, section 2 of the organic Constitution, Googled it and I got this:

Article III - The Judicial Branch Note

Section 2 - Trial by Jury, Original Jurisdiction, Jury Trials
(The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority; to all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls; to all Cases of admiralty and maritime Jurisdiction; to Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party; to Controversies between two or more States; between a State and Citizens of another State; between Citizens of different States; between Citizens of the same State claiming Lands under Grants of different States, and between a State, or the Citizens thereof, and foreign States, Citizens or Subjects.) (This section in parentheses is modified by the 11th Amendment.)
In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.
The Trial of all Crimes, except in Cases of Impeachment, shall be by Jury; and such Trial shall be held in the State where the said Crimes shall have been committed; but when not committed within any State, the Trial shall be at such Place or Places as the Congress may by Law have directed.

Again, where did you find the above?

Tons of misinformation

This entire thread is full of misinformation. It's clear that none of you understand what the UCC is, and, more importantly, what it isn't.

I'm sure that this post will be summarily deleted along with my account, but I felt it my obligation to try to let someone reading it know that what you're selling here is a bunch of worthless, pseudo-legal nonsense.

If it were just a bunch of guys talking about fringe theories, that would be fine...Unfortunately, real people are hurt by these theories. Gullible people believe this stuff and try to use it in court and end up in jail, owing a lot of money, or both.

If anyone here is interested in understanding the UCC, I'm more than willing to help. The truth, however, is nowhere near as interesting as the outlandish fiction that has been propounded in this thread.

Then post something that will help everyone understand what you believe to be the truth.

Conspiracy Against Rights

This statute makes it unlawful for two or more persons to conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person of any state, territory or district in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him/her by the Constitution or the laws of the United States, (or because of his/her having exercised the same).

It further makes it unlawful for two or more persons to go in disguise on the highway or on the premises of another with the intent to prevent or hinder his/her free exercise or enjoyment of any rights so secured.

Punishment varies from a fine or imprisonment of up to ten years, or both; and if death results, or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for any term of years, or for life, or may be sentenced to death.


Title 18, U.S.C., Section 242

This statute makes it a crime for any person acting under color of law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom to willfully deprive or cause to be deprived from any person those rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution and laws of the U.S.

This law further prohibits a person acting under color of law, statute, ordinance, regulation or custom to willfully subject or cause to be subjected any person to different punishments, pains, or penalties, than those prescribed for punishment of citizens on account of such person being an alien or by reason of his/her color or race.

Acts under "color of any law" include acts not only done by federal, state, or local officials within the bounds or limits of their lawful authority, but also acts done without and beyond the bounds of their lawful authority; provided that, in order for unlawful acts of any official to be done under "color of any law," the unlawful acts must be done while such official is purporting or pretending to act in the performance of his/her official duties. This definition includes, in addition to law enforcement officials, individuals such as Mayors, Council persons, Judges, Nursing Home Proprietors, Security Guards, etc., persons who are bound by laws, statutes ordinances, or customs.

You bring up a federal criminal statute as if it's relevant to the UCC. It isn't. The UCC has no criminal application whatsoever.

I'm starting to think that the ideas in this thread are just another derivation of the "sovereign citizen" nonsense that has universally been rejected in every court.

If you're interested in discussing theoretical meanings to laws that you don't understand, then this thread is a good place to start. If, however, you want to really understand how courts and the law operates, this thread is of no use whatsoever.

I sincerely hope that none of the 66,000+ views of this thread resulted in someone actually trying to use any of this nonsense in court. People suffer real harm when they believe this stuff and make decisions because of it. Wesley Snipes served over 2 years in federal prison because of it, and many other less known people have suffered as much or worse.

Wesley Snipes is an innocent man.
A jury of twelve men and women said so.

- They said so unanimously when the government charged Wesley Snipes with criminal tax conspiracy,
acquitting him of all conspiracy charges.
- They said so unanimously when the government charged Wesley Snipes with criminal fraud, acquitting him of all fraud charges.
- Nine of the twelve agreed Wesley Snipes was innocent of any misdemeanor failure to file charge.
- Three jurors, who later admitted lying to get on the jury, led to three misdemeanor convictions.

Once Again, Sovereign Citizens Making Life Difficult for Sane People | Law Blog

Sovereign citizen members jailed for selling vacant homes | 11alive.com

To those of us who actually study and work with the law, the "sovereign citizen" stuff initially looks like comedic gibberish until we start to see the very real harm that comes upon good people who get caught up in believing the stuff. People lose everything they have because some guy on the internet, using pseudo-legalese, convinced them that there was some secret underground system of laws they could use to exempt themselves from some obligation or another. Usually, the victims are already in a desperate situation such as facing foreclosure, etc., so they are easy prey to these snake-oil salesmen.

The remedy for false speech is more speech. I'm just trying to do my part to provide some truth for anyone who might come here looking for a magic solution to his/her problem.

The Direction Is Clear
At least two troubling aspects of the Court's treatment of the sovereign rights and powers of Indian tribes emerge from a look at the development of the doctrine of tribal sovereignty. First, the Court has moved away from the concept of intrinsic tribal sovereignty that predated the coming of the European conquerors, and has adopted the view that tribal sovereignty, and the concomitant freedom of the tribes from encroachments by the states, exists solely because Congress has chosen to confer some protections on the tribes.

Second, whatever the doctrinal underpinnings of tribal sovereignty may be, it is clear that the sovereignty of American Indian tribes has been progressively and systematically diminished by the actions of the federal government, including the Supreme Court.
