TIME FOR THEM TO LEAVE

 Well this is something different. 

You know those crazy sovereign citizens that file fraudulent deeds to steal property? 

Well one of them lives in 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. 

At a press conference at the White House Tuesday Evening, the President said the United States would, and we quote "Own Gaza". 

And what about the 2.1 million people whose home land is Gaza? Where will they go? 

Hialeah seems a likely landing spot. Maybe Newark New Jersey.  And La Crosse Indiana. There's some empty land in the Ukraine. That could work. After all, the Palestinians are already used to being bombed.  And of course, the President is angry at Canada so maybe he can order the Air Force to pack the Palestinians in planes, strap them in parachutes and drop them on Montreal.  Children would get parachutes with Disney characters. 

Sort of like the Berlin airlift. 

But in a perverse reverse. 

So much for the fundamental principles of conservatism that believes that property rights are the foundation of all rights.  

 Just to be clear. 

The President of the United States just said he plans to displace a nation-state of people because there is nice beach front property. 

 You voted for him. 

We are gonna say that a lot in the next few years so we are introducing now the acronym YVFH. 

The president just snatched the pebble from the hands of the Palestinians. Time for them to leave.

DADE CLERK BUREAUCRACY

In the State portal filing system (unofficial motto "portal to hell") each clerk for the circuit creates the categories that pleadings are filed under. So for example, if you have a motion, you click the motion section and then the specific subject. For example, you can select a "motion to suppress". The specific titles of the motions available is set by the local clerk. So for example, there probably isn't a "motion to lower bond" in Broward because...well, you know why. 

Pop Quiz: In Dade, which motion is NOT A CHOICE in the motion category, meaning our clerk has decided there is no need for this:

A) Motion to Travel
B) Motion to Transfer Judges Section
C) Motion to Tax Costs
D) Motion to Determine Confidentiality Of Court Records

So you, as a long time and careful reader, are surely saying to yourself: "Self, I always file motions to Determine Confidentiality of Court Records. I mean, who doesn't? Duh! And ditto for the daily use of Motion To Transfer Judges Section. That's like the first thing they teach in law school, right?  So now it's down to Travel or Costs..."

Yes, loyal reader, the Clerk's in Dade, in their infinite wisdom, based on the daily practice in our courthouse, apparently frequently deal with motions to transfer judges section, but never see...A MOTION TO TRAVEL. 

Are you kidding me? 

We don't even know what a motion to transfer judge's section is. But then again we've only been doing this 30 plus years. 
How in the name of Marshal Ader do they not have a Motion To Travel in the motions section in the portal? 

Sorry, but if you practice around the State, you will see that Dade has a bizarre list of motions, but not things like a motion to travel, or a motion for individual voir dire.

Need a motion to waive jurisdiction? They got it. Need a motion to "record/admit pre-trial immunity testimony"? EZEEPEEZEE. 

How about an "Amended Motion for Post Conviction Relief"? You-bet-cha. As if they were sitting around one day and one of the clerks said to the other (while in the process of pouring another large bourbon):
 "You know what we need Sam? We need a special category for Amended Motion For Post Conviction Relief because so many of those suckers file amended motions."
"I hear ya Arnie. How about adding a motion for travel?"
"What's that?"

It's ridiculous. Almost as bad as needing the precise page and word count before they would accept the motion. They did away with that requirement as long as-while filing the motion- you affirm out-loud you have recorded the number of pages and words in your separate "page and word number diary" that the Clerks who run the portal system require you to have. 

Or something like that. 

From Occupied America, please send us  a motion to transfer judges section. 

Peace/Out.
