"I was called a sovereign citizen" The thought had occurred to me while watching that video. Regardless of where you stand on the issue, it is amazing to watch intelligent people assert sovereign status to the point where the judge throws a tantrum and runs out of the courtroom in frustration (after issuing a variety of threats). Even some bailiffs seem to understand the limits of their authority better the judge in those situations.

The ideas we get about judges from the television are pure fantasy, these are some of the most unaccountable, incompetent, and corrupt elements of our system. Our courts would be far better run by computers, even prior to AI. Like, a spreadsheet/flowchart would be better.

And the idea that they collude with each other and get orders from higher up is undeniable. When businesses started getting shut down and forcing people to mask, I was certain that a lawsuit or two would put a quick stop to this unconstitutional nonsense, but there doesn't seem to be a lawyer in the country who actually took any of it on.

If you're a net asset to your clients, keep going.

God Bless you Jay Shore. The absolute immunity rule for corrupt judges should be invalidated. 28 USC 455 requires federal judges who have conflicts of interest or who may not be disinterested must recuse themselves automatically. Without any motion for recusal being filed. The Question remains is Absolute Immunity available to a judge who violates 28 USC 455? Will 42 USC 1983 support a claim against such an offending judge?
