If you are a "sovereign citizen", why do you need to file the motion in court?
I tend to agree with the overall concept of being a free person. As long as I am not harming anybody, why should I be subject to bullshit laws that were never designed to protect me or anything I care about?

I do not recognize either of those groups as having some moral authority over me, especially considering that I am a far more moral man than any of them. That said, I do agree that we need to have laws and whatnot in order to maintain a civilized society. I have no idea where to draw the line, but I do believe that what these people did was wrong.
