I could not get through that page. But I did debunk the line,

"For a crime to exist, there must be an injured party. There can be no sanction or penalty imposed upon one because of this exercise of Constitutional rights."- Sherar v. Cullen, 481 F. 945.

Which if we do the barest minimum of research, we learn that

Contrary to Cruz's assertion, the case he cites for this quotation, Sherar v. Cullen481 F.2d 945 (9th Cir. 1973), is not a Supreme Court decision. Moreover, Sherar does not appear to contain the first sentence in Cruz's quotation. In any event, Sherar is irrelevant because it held only that a Government employee could not be fired for failing to agree to a tax examination. Id. at 948.

I love that the sov cit site also is mainly there to sell stills for making your own bootleg gut rot.

That's the absolute killer. I laughed so hard when I found this page.

I continue to enjoy how a significant basis for their craziness is taking specific definitions out of context. Like, sure, 28 USC 3002 does say that "United States means a federal corporation", but it's the definitions section for that particular chapter of the USC and not applicable outside that context. They ignore the very first line: "As used in this chapter."

And even then, it's defining the term "United States", not saying that is what The United States, the country, is.

I am going to need these people to explain to me slowly what the difference is between a "Citizen of the United States" and a "United States Citizen" and why, after doing as they instruct, I will be one but not the other
