Jurisdiction - does the court have the authority to hear your case? - Restore Freedom Weekly #22

Image
Jurisdiction - does the court have the authority to hear your case? The court MUST have appropriate jurisdiction in order to make any decisions in a case. What are the types of jurisdiction? What is REQUIRED to happen if the court doesn't have the appropriate jurisdiction? Katherine's most recent documents in the Allegan County Election Day Case provide more info on jurisdiction: https://tinyurl.com/2p8j9j83 . A more in-depth legal analysis of subject matter jurisdiction can be found in the documents Katherine filed last year in the case: https://restorefreedomkh.com/content/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Motion-for-Immediate-Consideration-of-SDP-App-040921-FILED.pdf and https://restorefreedomkh.com/content/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/App-for-Leave-to-Appeal-Sub-DP-to-CoA-FILED.pdf #Jurisdiction #Court #RestoreFreedomWeekly #Constitution #Law #CourtRules #Authority #Case #RestoreFreedom #MoreFreedomLessGovernment [Posted by Lori DeVries]

Freedom Fighting Tools & Allegan Case Update

As mentioned in our post regarding the Constitution Segment Recap, here is the PDF of all of the Motions & Briefs Katherine submitted Thursday, May 26th, to Allegan County 57th District Court: https://tinyurl.com/2p8j9j83 We would like to STRONGLY encourage you to take a few minutes to read the 1st link - “Notice of Hearing, Motion for Immediate Consideration, Proof of Service”. It gives the highlights of all the things that have been happening and what we are asking the court to do now. For more information on this case, and for more resources to fight your own situation, please continue reading the other documents submitted. We are also asking for prayers that the judge finally does the right thing in this case and dismisses both charges WITH prejudice (meaning charges cannot be resubmitted). #Briefs #MotiontoDismiss #FreedomFightingTools #CriminalvCivil #CaseDismissed #Motion #Brief #Argument #DueProcess #SubstantiveDueProcess #ProceduralDueProcess #Constitution #Allegan #Al...

Do No Injustice in Court - Week 21 Biblical Insight

The trial judge in Katherine's case ruled that she has NO right to make any legal challenges to the case brought against her - meaning it's ok for the Prosecutor to charge her with something that is NOT a crime!   So this week, we talked about Motions to Dismiss a court case - and discovered the law says ALL accused DO have the right to challenge the illegality of cases brought against them.   But the Bible addresses this issue more simply: You shall do no injustice in court.

Statutes, US Constitution, MI Court Rules, & MI Constitution - Motion to Dismiss - Wk 21 Constitution Segment Recap

Due to the around the clock work Katherine was doing this week to finalize her several motions and briefs to file in her Allegan County election day case, we were not able to post a normal Thursday Constitution Segment or Friday's Freedom Fighting Tools. But we still wanted to remind you of which parts were discussed this week. There are several Constitution segments, court rules and statutes we covered in this week's episode, but the main ones related to our discussion on Motions to Dismiss are: MCL 764.9d (state law);  the 1st, 6th and 14th Amendments of the US Constitution;  MCR (MI Court Rules) 2.504(B)(1),  MCR 2.116(C) and MCR 6.004(A);  and Article I, § 2; §3; §5; §17; and §20 of the Michigan Constitution.  Please check out this week's full episode for more details, (found here:  https://tinyurl.com/2s4czyxk ) and our other post of Freedom Fighting Tools for examples of these motions. #MotiontoDismiss #CriminalvCivil #ConstitutionSegmentRecap #CaseDi...

Week 18 - Way to Get Involved Challenge Currently, there are 28 Republican and 22 Democratic governors in the United States. Not all states have gubernatorial elections this year. There are 20 Republican and 16 Democratic seats up for re-election in 2022.  Part of holding our state governors accountable is paying attention to what they are doing.
