There is a fourth branch of Government. Perhaps

As a matter of fact there is. Right now we just call it the liberal media and they act as the ones who tell us sheeple how we should live and act and they also act as cheering section for the Democrats and the judge, jury and executioner for conservative. I think we should braindead branch.
:D
Grand Jurys judge the validity of a case. Boring
Interesting, but there already is grand jury presentments on a daily basis. Problem is the grand jury system, whether through indictment or presentment, is a prosecutor's tool.It is not a adversarial system as there is not advocate for the accused. The joke is that any prosecutor could get a ham sandwich indicted.
Grand juries, even those given investigative powers, are controlled by the prosecutor, usually an elected or appointment official. It's a rare grand jury that doesn't follow the prosecutor's lead.
What is a jury, grand or otherwise? The joke goes: twelve people to stupid to get out of jury duty." Sad but true. I've seen juries commit gross acts of injustice by finding guilty defendants based only on the gut reaction to the accused or simply because they want to go home rather than sit and debate the guilt or non-guilt of a defendant.
The guy who is speaking on that clip forgets that we can change our government by going out and v****g. Most e******ns draw 50% or less of registered v**ers. Republicans are trying to make it harder to v**e to prevent v***r f***d" an almost non-existant problem. He also seems to believe that people who don't agree with him are ignorant and misinformed.
We are a lazy nation, not a stupid one. Education isn't the problem, motivation is. Les McCann said it best when he sang: "possession is the motivation that is (screwing) up the (gd) nation.)

I will be looking at this very close. I see a giant flaw right up front. But I need to study this with care. Perhaps you will also.

I found this site extremely interesting and it has given me a lot of food for thought. And common law exists. I've done some reading on common law, and I see it as the best way to solve legal problems because the entire process has to do with citizens like ourselves doing the checking, the accusing - or the dismissals, etc. The flaw that I see, and perhaps it is also what YOU see, is that if we attempt to use it, we may very well be overwhelmed with accusations that we have no standing. I would disagree with that accusation, but the POWER lies with the GOVERNment, not with the citizens - exactly the opposite of what was meant to be.
I'd wager that most Americans don't even know about "common law".
Great post!

What the hell are you talking about?
What is "I think we should braindead branch."
And, did you even read any of the URL?
:hunf:
most legal actions (indictments, lawsuits, etc, cite a specific statue and end with "and common law et al." It is the common law of our Anglo-based legal system, the basis for all of our rights, the ideas and unwritten codes that give us the rights as "self-evident" and thus without statue. Unfortunately, many people don't know or don't care to know. they are afraid of the government instead of the government being afraid of the people, as it should be.

This just means more bureaucracy, more spending, more waste.
I thought conservatives were against that?
