Free Keene » Superior Court Judge Dismisses Nine Writs of Habeas Corpus
I think that a few people have missed the point. Regardless of
Hiibel v. Sixth Judicial District Court of Nevada, 542 U.S. 177 (2004),
keeping Sam imprisoned is clearly the state’s retaliation against him for not choosing to obey. By the State’s figuring, it does not need a reason, and I believe that Americans are mistaken if find this acceptable. I have no desire for my tax dollars to pay for the imprisonment of a man who has done nothing wrong, but I would happily come out of my own pocket for this case because I believe that it serves as a reminder that Americans desperately need. He has committed no crime against society or any individual. The fact that Sam could roll over and improve his condition is irrelevant because the United States does not have any legal authority to force Sam’s cooperation. We are not talking about a criminal, we are talking about a private citizen that happens to have challenged the assumed authority of the State: authority which “We the People” did not grant the State. To sympathize with the State in this case is to be its slave because the very idea of Sam’s imprisonment is principally unreasonable.
To view Sam’s condition as self-imposed displays a gross fundamental misunderstanding of our rights as Americans and as human beings.
