no, we cannot agree on this point.
we can agree that you don't have to pass a bar exam
an exception in one state hardly validates your assertion.
like i said, exaggerating the facts isn't helping your argument in the least.
"probably" involves proven variables ... your statement did not and was subsequently proven False.
From "Diploma privelege" in Wiki.
In the United States, the diploma privilege is a method for lawyers to be admitted to the bar without taking a bar examination. Once used by as many as 32 U.S. states and the District of Columbia, Wisconsin is currently the only state that offers a broad diploma privilege for admission to its state bar. New Hampshire has offered diploma privilege to a limited number of students in a special practice-based program at the state's only law school since 2008.[1]
why should we bother getting back to your questions when you keep putting off everyone else's[/quote] Because I started asking my questions on the first page of this thread and, despite repeated efforts, my questions have been dodged.
The claim is made that all lawyers have to pass the bar exam
source
On Jan. 5, 2007, the court issued order 04-07 formally adopting changes, effective on July 1, 2007. In addition to these rules, the court imposes other requirements as a condition of practicing law in Wisconsin, including active membership in the State Bar of Wisconsin and fulfilling continuing legal education requirements.
the rules of the game state the above logic is unapplicable.
For any reasonable person who can follow the rules of logic, the assertion is, thereby, disproved.
and, btw, we are discussing lawyers who are approved to argue/represent at the Federal level within the State ... not local, in-State issues.
Some lawyers do, some lawyers don't
who said anything about a BAR exam ??
we are discussing membership and loyalties, not evaluations.
I've never said anything about bar membership, I've talked only about the bar exam, which two states have some provision to avoid.
And since the word BAR comes from Barrister, and ergo England, it is not farcry to suggest that the British Crown approves Lawyers; after all, you have to pass their test don't you?
is a question, not an assertion
you have to pass their test don't you?
Exactly. Plus, I found out that, at least in Wisconsin, the Board of Examiners does NOT issue a "license to practice law".
we are discussing the agents of the Crown appointed as trustees of the afore-mentioned bankruptcy ... which by the way has now been established that ALL lawyers are, in fact, required to join the BAR ... so, where does their loyalty reside ??
(h) [Location of United States.] The United States is located in the District of Columbia.
The change in our system of law from public law to private commercial law was recognized by the Supreme Court of the United States in the Erie Railroad vs. Thompkins case of 1938, after which case, in the same year, the procedures of Law were officially blended with the procedures of Equity. Prior to 1938, all U.S. Supreme Court decisions were based upon public law -- or that system of law that was controlled by Constitutional limitation. Since 1938, all U.S. Supreme Court decisions are based upon what is termed public policy.
Public policy concerns commercial transactions made under the Negotiable Instrument's Law, which is a branch of the international Law Merchant. This has been codified into what is now known as the Uniform Commercial Code, which system of law was made uniform throughout the fifty States through the cunning of the Congress of the United States (which "United States" has its origin in Article I, Section 8, Clause 17 of the Constitution, as distinguished from the "United States," which is the Union of the fifty States).
All of our courts today sit as legislative Tribunals, and the so-called "statutes" of legislative bodies being enforced in these Legislative Tribunals are not "statutes" passed by the legislative branch of our three-branch Republic, but as "commercial obligations" to the Federal United States for anyone in the Federal United States or in the Continental United States who has used the equitable currency of the Federal United States and who has accepted the "benefit," or "privilege," of discharging his debts with the limited liability "benefit" offered to him by the Federal United States ... EXCEPT those who availed themselves of the remedy within this commercial system of law, which remedy is today found in of the Uniform Commercial Code at Section 1-308.

We are now 10 pages in and I am STILL waiting for ANYONE to cite a single court case that shows these foundational legal concepts are real and not made up sovereign citizen mythology from the US Montana freeman movement in the 1970s. I have a feeling I am going to be waiting a long time.
(15) “United States” means— (A) a Federal corporation;
Debtor” means a person who is liable for a debt or against whom there is a claim for a debt.

You are wrong...The US is a corporation... 28 USC section 3002

It also defines debtor rather nicely...

The sad thing is some people seem to believe by filling in some paperwork suddenly they do not have to pay tax, or need a drivers license etc. Or in the case of those that believe in the One Peoples Public Trust everyone will get $5billion, and thus be rich!

By the way; are you aware that the current 'American' flag is actually a maritime flag?

Scroll down to the United States..
1.^ Civil ensign is identical to the national flag.
A war flag (military flag or battle flag) is a variant of a national flag for use by the nation's military forces on land.
An ensign is a national flag when used at sea, in vexillology, or a distinguishing token, emblem, or badge, such as a symbol of office in heraldry. The word has also given rise to the military rank of "ensign", a rank of junior officer[1] once responsible for bearing the ensign.
