Requirement for Consent

“ Every man is supposed to know the law. A party who makes a contract with an officer [of the government] without having it reduced to writing is knowingly accessory to a violation of duty on his part. Such a party aids

in the violation of the law."

[Clark v. United States, 95 U.S. 539 (1877) ]

Even the Bible itself condemns those who don’t’ read, learn, or obey the law!:

5

“One who turns his ear from hearing the law [God's law or man's law], even his prayer is an abomination.”

6

[Prov. 28:9, Bible, NKJV]

7

"But this crowd that does not know [and quote and follow and use] the law is accursed.”

[John 7:49, Bible, NKJV]

"Salvation is far from the wicked, For they do not seek Your statutes."

[Psalm 119:155, Bible, NKJV]

The fundamental injustices in the above SCHEME are the following: 12

1. The contract, BEFORE IT WAS SIGNED, was not “law” for the applicant, but simply a “code”. Private law is not 13 “law” for those who are not subject to it. Only those who explicitly consent to it are subject and only for them can it be 14 called “law”. The contract “activates” and becomes “law” only AFTER it is consented to. Before it is consented to, it 15 is simply a “proposal” or an “offer”. 16 2. It is therefore unreasonable for any court of law to infer that the a person has a “duty” to read or learn or know that 17 which is not “law” for him or that doesn’t pertain to him. Therefore, there is no way that it can use the maxim of law 18 that “everyone is supposed to know the law” as an excuse to PRESUME that he the applicant had “reasonable notice” 19 of the terms of a contract that were never spelled out on the application itself. No court, we might add, has ever said: 20 3. The municipality has deprived other PRIVATE corporations of equal protection who are engaged in the same 23 competitive activity as the government’s competitive PRIVATE corporation. For instance: 24 3.1. Other competing private corporations are not allowed to publish their administrative regulations within the 25 municipal code like the government does. Why not? 26 3.2. Other private corporations do not enjoy the same kind of subsidies from the municipality as the state-run schools 27 do. 28 3.3. Other private corporations cannot assert “sovereign immunity” to protect their PRIVATE business activities like 29 the government can. 30 “Every citizen of the United States is supposed to read and know and learn ‘codes’ but not ‘laws’ that don’t 21 pertain to him.” 22

The way out of the above quagmire for people dealing with the government is simply to write the following on every 31 government form, so that you don’t surrender any rights under it: 32

“All rights reserved without prejudice, U.C.C. §1-308 ”

10.3 Abuses of sovereign immunity

34

There are yet other ways that the government abuses this deception to unlawfully protect and enlarge its PRIVATE 35 business pursuits, such as junior college, Social Security, Medicare, etc. The Supreme Court has created a judicial doctrine 36 not found within the Constitution called “sovereign immunity”, which requires that both the federal government and the 37 states of the Union may not be sued in their own courts without their consent. 38

The exemption of the United States from being impleaded without their consent is, as has often been affirmed by this court, as absolute as that of the crown of England or any other sovereign. In Cohens v. Virginia, 6 Wheat. 264, 411, Chief Justice MARSHALL said: 'The universally-received opinion is that [106 U.S. 196, 227] no suit can be commenced or prosecuted against the United States.' In Beers v. Arkansas, 20 How. 527, 529, Chief Justice TANEY said: 'It is an established principle of jurisprudence, in all civilized nations, that the sovereign cannot be sued in its own courts, or in any other, without its consent and permission; but it may, if it thinks proper, waive this privilege, and permit itself to be made a defendant in a suit by individuals, or by another state. And as this permission is altogether voluntary on the part of the sovereignty, it follows that it may prescribe the terms and conditions on which it consents to be sued, and the manner in which the suit shall be conducted, and may withdraw its consent whenever it may suppose that justice to the public requires it.'
