Before 1938, the federal courts, like almost all other common law courts, decided the law on any issue where the relevant legislature (either the U.S. Congress or state legislature, depending on the issue), had not acted, by looking to courts in the same system, that is, other federal courts, even on issues of state law, and even where there was no express grant of authority from Congress or the Constitution.

Is this what these guys are doing? I am just learning of this and want info is this a big movement or a small group?
There's at least 27 people from each state that signed on to this. There are some Guardian Elders. There were hints of 'behind the scenes' military people involved, but they are vague on that. They want millions of people to be involved. I don't know how they plan on getting them. Perhaps word of mouth? A lot of information has been coming in quickly and I haven't been able to keep up with it these last few days. There is talk of this April 19th demonstration and I thought I heard someone say they wanted millions by that time. I don't know how they would accomplish that!

Tompkins, 1938, 304 US 64, stands for the proposition that the States of the Union are mere private corporations governed by provisions of the UCC. True enough, Erie makes difficult reading for first year law students, but even a cursory reading by a lay person reveals that the UCC is entirely unrelated to the case. And even given that the concepts in the decision might seem totally alien to Richey, surely a man who has done the legal research Richey has should know that the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws and the American Law Institute did not promulgate the first official text of the UCC until September 1951, thirteen years after the Erie decision. ... Moreover the court is not amused by the notion that Indiana is a mere private corporation governed by the UCC." Richey v. Indiana Dept of State Revenue (Ind. Tax Ct 1994) 634 NE2d 1375

For example, it was not possible for someone born with US citizenship, namely a Puerto Rican, to renounce his US citizenship while remaining in Puerto Rico as a "Puerto Rican national", since that was not a bona fide foreign nation.

Understandable. The other thread with April 19th in the title was also discussing the Restore America Plan, and I contributed heavily in there, so even I didn't really realize I was contributing to possible confusion by talking about RAP in that thread. I may have to go in and make a clarification statement. Now I see why some random people came in deploring the group for alleged militant behavior, as it appears the the whole April 19th thing is a bit more, militant, however entirely separate from Restore America Plan.
No its not, you have not shown one piece of evidence that any of it is true.
I have shown actual Common Law Cases of people going to jail for pulling this exact same sort of stuff in court.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal intelligence note is warning police that an anti-government group's call to remove dozens of sitting governors may encourage others to act out violently.
A group that calls itself the Guardians of the free Republics has a plan to "restore America" by peacefully dismantling parts of the government, according to its website.
As of Wednesday, more than 30 governors had received letters demanding they leave office within three days or they will be removed, according to an internal intelligence note by the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security, which was obtained by The Associated Press.
Investigators do not see threats of violence in the group's message, but fear the broad call for removing top state officials could inspire others to act out violently.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal's office confirmed the governor had received a letter and directed all further questions to the Louisiana State Police.

Sigh...Of course they are not court cases they are the congressional record of the ratification of the original 13 amendment you say doesn't exist.
Misconceptions
It has been claimed that the TONA had become part of the U.S. Constitution—indeed many printings of the Constitution during the 19th century erroneously referred to it as being the Thirteenth Amendment.[4] Perhaps this misunderstanding could be traced to the mistaken belief that both chambers of South Carolina's legislature had acted favorably upon the TONA when, evidently, only one body had done so. Possibly, it can be attributed to the misapprehension that Virginia lawmakers had adopted the TONA, despite the long-standing belief that there was a lack of documentation that either chamber of Virginia's legislature ever even so much as considered the TONA. In general, 19th century procedures for communicating and recording the ratifications of constitutional amendments were haphazard, and some printings of the Constitution included the amendment out of uncertainty. Many other 19th century printings omit it.[4]
There is a further mistaken belief that the TONA was, at all stages, just one state's adoption shy of being incorporated into the federal Constitution.[4]
When the TONA was offered by the Congress to the state legislatures on May 1, 1810, the approval of 13 of them would indeed have been required. However, with the addition of Louisiana into the Union on April 30, 1812, that threshold increased to 14 state approvals. Louisiana's statehood commenced after the Massachusetts ratification of the TONA, but prior to the New Hampshire ratification of it. Then, when Indiana was admitted on December 11, 1816, the bar was raised up to 15 approvals needed to ratify the TONA. Although the admission of Mississippi on December 10, 1817, did not increase the numerical requirement, the entry of Illinois on December 3, 1818, did elevate that minimum to 16 state adoptions necessary for the TONA to be incorporated into the Constitution.[4]
The actual Thirteenth Amendment was ratified in December of 1865 and abolished slavery uniformly throughout the United States.
The assertion that TONA was validly ratified has never been upheld by any court in the United States. In the few instances in which courts have been confronted with the assertion that TONA was indeed ratified, judges have brushed those claims aside. In Campion v. Towns, No.CV-04-1516PHX-ROS, *2 n.1 (D. Ariz. 2005), a tax protester raised TONA as one of his defenses to a charge of tax evasion.[8] The court replied that it would "correct any misunderstanding Plaintiff has concerning the text of the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution":
In his Complaint, Plaintiff includes a certified copy of the Thirteenth Amendment from the Colorado State Archives which was published in 1861. As included in that compilation, the Thirteenth Amendment would strip an individual of United States citizenship if they accept any title of nobility or honor. However, this is not the Thirteenth Amendment. The correct Thirteenth Amendment prohibits slavery. Although some people claim that state publication of the erroneous Thirteenth Amendment makes it valid, Article V of the Constitution does not so provide.

North Carolina couple faces 300 years in prison in bank fraud scheme from the handbook of the debt elimination movement
In an article for the Liberty Post written in May, 2008 by Highland Park, IL freelance writer Dick Greb warned of the consequences of patriots listening to other self-described patriots who believe they have captured the goose that lays golden eggs. That goose is named "BoE." According to Greb, "This is especially true when there are severe consequences to acting on mistaken beliefs, such as is the case with a Patriot myth now remaking the rounds: the issuance of Bills of Exchange [BoE]. This myth is another incarnation of the strawman (if I only had a brain) theory. Constitutional lawyer Larry Becraft posts the indictments of some of those who have swallowed this poison; criminal charges are often filed years after BoE's are used, while the promoters of this dangerous nonsense want you to believe that a lack of response is proof that the government accepts them as valid." Greb rightfully points out that since an International BoE is a certificate of indebtedness of the nation, then logic suggests anyone who fabricates one is guilty of counterfeiting obligations or securities of the United States in violation of 18 USC § 471. Under 12 USC § 26, 27 defined at 32 USC § 5103, in order to issue circulating specie, the Comptroller of the Currency must issue a BoE. Without it, any notes issued by the Federal Reserve are not legal tender. Greb subtitled his article "How to Make Really Sure You End Up in Jail."
Greb was right. It took the federal government five years to come down on the Wahlers and their associates. Greb was also correct as to why they call the fake documents "strawmen." Greb's parallel was in comparing the document strawman with the Scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz. If you recall the tale, the Scarecrow was on a quest for a brain. Those who buy into the rhetoric spouted by the debt elimination crowd are just like the Scarecrow—a strawman in search of a brain.
However, the US Treasury has published countless consumer alerts warning those who fall into the clutches of the debt elimination scam artists that instruments labeled Bills of Exchange, Due Bills, Redemption Certificates, and Bonds of Discharge are fraudulent since most of these instruments are used only in the international arena by government agencies, banks, or transnational corporations engaged in commerce with other nations, banks or transnational corporations. They are never used by consumers without money to escape lawful debt (particularly when, until lawful money actually changes hands, nothing happens—except those who try to perpetuate the fraud are charged with a felony for their efforts.) US Treasury alerts are intended to inform those who are told otherwise that even if such forms appear to look like legitimate documents, all of them are premised on fraudulent claims. They are worthless and have no legal validity. In addition, those who get caught up in the scam are guilty of violating 18 USC § 1345.
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Compliance & Enforcement Division has issued several alerts for consumers in dire financial straits to beware of several debt elimination websites. The FBI also issued a warning on Dec. 8, 2003 on its website at www.fbi.gov... advising those approached by debt elimination advocates that there are no loopholes and the scam artists prey on your desire to get something for nothing—or rather, for the upfront money the consumer is required to pay to lose everything they own plus risk going to prison.

"Pursuant to U.S.C. Chapter 1, 2, and 3; Executive Order No. 10834, August 21, 1959, 24 F.R. 6865, a military flag is a flag that resembles the regular flag of the United States, except that it has a YELLOW FRINGE, bordered on three sides. The President of the United states designates this deviation from the regular flag, by executive order, and in his capacity as COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF of the Armed forces."
If you studied history there is such a thing as the law of the flag and it does have significance. Else why would the presidents military flag be flown in every court room in America? I thought the Executive was supposed to be separate from the Judiciary?
The nitwits have amongst themselves this strange superstition that the presence of a gold trim on a courtroom's flag somehow imposes some different sort of law than what's expected -- although they cannot get their stories straight on whether it's martial law or maritime law, the two being very different. They have absolutely no legal authority for any of this and seem to be making it up as they go along. They don't seem to have noticed that the gold trim appears only on INDOOR flags, which are made of fairly flimsy material and would hang limp and drab without either breeze or sunlight indoors, so the gold trim provides some esthetic compensation for the lack of sunlight and breeze, and that all OUTDOOR flags, even the ones at military bases and on ships, don't have this fringe, because outdoor flags are made of heavier fabric and the wind and damp would soon ruin a fringe. Back in 1925 the US Attorney-General relied on the opinion of the predecessor to the US Army's Institute of Heraldry that the fringe was not an addition or alteration of the flag, and therefore not illegal, and moreover had no symbolic meaning. Currently the Institute of Heraldry and the non-government Flag Research Center both issue fact sheets debunking this militia myth about the fringe on the flag. There apparently has NEVER been a successful challenge to a court's decision or jurisdiction based on the absence of a correct flag or the presence of an "incorrect" flag in the courtroom.
