...that if the constitution and bill were circumvented sometime ago, the gov would not be jumping through all the loopholes of a process just to front it to a public.
Are you saying we are living in a defunct society and we can do nothing about it? Do you want civil war? Do you think there should be some kind of public uprising to demand redress? or are you just saying it is hopeless and we are already slaves and there is nothing we can do?
...but I do not see us being there yet, because it will be a hell of a lot worse and there would be no reason for them to even bother creating an illusion for us. It does not make sense.
There will be open bloodshed in the street, people will be controlled, even to the point of buying groceries and selling personal items, the idea of personal property will not even exist as an illusion, people will be rounded up in large scales. This is not happening and when they do declare martial law, which is what the above describes there will be no illusions about it, it will be in your face and I am sorry I am not seeing it.
As far as providing proof I gave what you claimed was a lameduck statement from the EPACT that you said did not matter, Why should your evidence matter to me.
I will give you three documents that do matter, The Constitution, The Declaration and The Bill you can say they are useless and dont matter anymore but the truth is just the opposite, because without those documents you wouldnt even have a point to make here...
...and although groups may try to circumvent these documents when it comes down to, it is not legal for them to do so, So They Are Still Valid. Period.

Try to go into court and fight for any of your Constitutional rights. Your suit will be thrown out as frivelous, or worse, you will be found to be in contempt of court. As a citizen under the 14th Amendment you are extended civil "rights" as a privilege, which are not Constitutional rights at all.
Two of the Bill of Rights that have not been "incorporated" are the Second Amendment and the Fifth. The Supreme Court has avoided taking any cases that would require it to rule on the right to keep and bear arms or assemble as an independent militia.
I still hold our RIGHTS, which is what they are, are self evident; meaning Prima Facie they are there without a determination by the government, because those rights are in the peoples hand.

...no one sitting at the judge's bench will reveal either, unless you cite court-case precedents first...
...the 1861 was rescended and is no longer in effect, while at the same time saying that i must not have realized this...
-Lincoln, Executive Order 1.
...I do hereby, in virtue of the power in me vested by the Constitution, convene both Houses of Congress.
It is in action everyday you can read Supreme Court Decisions since 1861 where decisions were based upon the Constitution.
You can see Governors and Legislature being prosecuted under gross violations of the Constitution and for goodness sake the President is under investigation and has been filed on by a watch dog group about his alleged violations against the Constitution under the Patriot Act
I dont see Martial Law, look around, if you see it then you don't know what Martial Law is because we sure are not in it...
if there were martial law there would be no reason to pretend or make light to the World little alone the people of this Country that it was happening....it would be open revolt.
...but JITB expects me to lend credance to his proof, which is mostly just conjecture from what Ive seen.
LOOK AROUND AND GO TAKE A WALK AFTER MIDNIGHT, GO TO CHURCH EVEN IF YOU DONT BELIEVE, TALK ABOUT POLITICS IN PUBLIC, TALK ABOUT RELIGION IN PUBLIC, GO BY AN EXCESS OF FOOD AND BONDS, GO BUY SOME GUNS AND AMMO, TAKE A FLIGHT WHERE YOU WANT.

Since Erie vs. Thompkins 1938, there is no mixing of the old law with the new. Case-law prior to 1938 cannot be cited without judicial recognition, which lawyers and judges are sworn not to grant as agents of the BAR Asssociation. Laws today are decided as a matter of corporate public policy, not Constitutional authority.

I remember reading that Wesley Snipes was "made an example" of along the lines of what you are talking about here.
And that being said and the sad thing is, my life ain't so bad.
"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship."
"The average age of the worlds greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these
nations always progressed through the following sequence
1. From bondage to spiritual faith;
2. From spiritual faith to great courage;
3. From courage to liberty;
4. From liberty to abundance;
5. From abundance to complacency;
6. From complacency to apathy;
7. From apathy to dependence;
8. From dependence back into bondage "
-Alexander Tyler, University of Edinburgh, 1787
“Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.”
-John Adams, April 15, 1814
