How the Feds Are Violating the 6th Amendment and Trampling Citizen Rights

How the Feds Are Violating the 6th Amendment and Trampling Citizen Rights

Most Americans don’t know the Bill of Rights. The Bill of Rights probably wasn’t covered in the civics class that they took (if they took a civics class) in their government-mandated and run school. So, the Sixth Amendment probably isn’t even on the mind of Americans these days.

But it should be.

The Sixth Amendment is the right to legal counsel when the government charges you with a crime and takes you to court. In a recent Medicare fraud case, the Federal government froze assets belonging to Sila Luis that had nothing to do with the alleged fraud. By freezing these “untainted” assets, the Feds essentially prevented Luis from being able to obtain legal representation because the Feds took the money that she had to pay a lawyer.

The Rutherford Institute writes that

“Luis’s lawyers objected to the proposed freeze asserting that any such order would interfere with her ability to retain counsel of her choice, violating the Sixth Amendment. They also argued that Luis’s right to due process would be violated if the freeze were based solely on the hearsay of confidential informants. However, the district court granted the government’s request to freeze Luis’s untainted assets, ruling that they were as much “contraband” as assets derived from the alleged criminal activity.”

Essentially, the district attorney said that, because Luis was accused (but not convicted) of breaking a law, they could take away all of her assets, impoverishing her, and keeping her from hiring her choice of lawyer. This would, of course, leave her dependent on government-provided legal representation (which sounds to me a lot like the fox watching the hen house).

The problem is that more and more of these cases of government overreach and intrusion are becoming commonplace. You had better be ready to disappear if you want to make sure that your family survives the ever-closer police state.

What do you think: Is this a big deal or are we just blowing hot air? Sound off below.

  • The real criminals are the people we elected who have bankrupted our country which is most of them. I propose releasing all non violent criminals and putting most of Congress together with Hitlary Clinton, Eric Holdet, Boltneck Kerry, BHO, Harry Reid, John Boehner, Lindsay Graham, John McCain, Mitch McConnell, and Lois Lerner in prison in place of them. Feel free to add to this list which is very weak but a decent start none the less.

  • Between the entirely misnamed “USA PATRIOT ACT”, which prevents defendants telling their attorney about their situation, the exploding increased use of “no-knock” warrants for even minor issues, the use of “self-written” warrants by federal agents, the “theft” of property using the poorly written “civil asset forfeiture” law, and a long list of other abuses by government at ALL levels leaves me fearing for the future of my country. I appears to me that we are just a few small steps from becoming a socialist police state hell-hole. I sincerely hope our people awaken soon to the impending doom we face.

  • Govt For the People?

    How come the Government can violate your rights, even kill you and the government employees are protected.
    Meanwhile you are only protected if you can afford a lawyer to take them to court….
    They can destroy you without charging you …so how do you activate the 6th amendment if there is no charge laid?

    If you don’t have the money for a good lawyer you don’t get much of any protection under the 6th amendment.

    Why is it not illegal for the government to do illegal tings?
    Should there not be in house oversight that prevents the Government for doing illegal acts?

    So in the end the Constitution is not protecting anyone, you have to have money to protect yourself.
    How much worse will it be once they take away guns?

  • It is TIME to take the country back from the ATTORNEYS! That is who has perverted the written laws to make them like England! That is where Civil Forfeiture is coming from – the King accuses you and takes EVERYTHING!

  • NO! Again I say NO! Why should we feed them forever when they have stolen the Truth from the people? TREASON deserves HANGING and so it should be! It wouldn’t happen again in Very Many years if we hung all that were guilty of Treason.

  • There is No Such Thing as a “good attorney”! By seeking a BAR Association membership, they have demonstrated their willingness to destroy the Constitutional Law and pervert the laws of the land. The BAR (British Accredited Registry) is what happened AFTER the War of 1812 when WE LOST! The 13th Amendment prohibits ANY attorney (anyone who holds a title of nobility – Esquire) from holding ANY public office.

    How many Presidents, Governors, Congressmen, City Managers, County Councilmen, etc. have been and/or Are ATTORNEYS?

    This is NO ACCIDENT! The U.S. Constitution as well as the Texas Constitution prohibit the conflict of interest that arises when an officer of one Branch takes an office in another (Legislative or Executive). The ‘other’ officers around them fail to take any action to force them out so WE are left with the results!

    Attorneys are NOT “GODS”! ! ! They are perverts who willingly prey on the public and steal the wealth of the nation for themselves and their overlords (The Queen of England).

  • you are NOT blowing hot air!!! Start charging the government with illegal actions…. of course, the Supreme Court is NO longer giving impartial rulings…. they are in line to kiss the traitor’s arse and do his bidding!!! That is the problem with the Supreme Court… appointed, there dependent on!!. LET WE THE PEOPLE VOTE THEM IN…. WITH THEIR RECORD BEFORE THEM, WE WILL DECIDE. ALSO TERM STATUS ONLY. WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO RID OURSELVES OF THE ASS KISSERS AND LIBERAL ASSES!! THEN THEY WILL BE BEHOLDEN TO WE THE PEOPLE…. AS IT SHOULD BE… NOT BEHOLD TO THE muslim PIGS CURRENTLY IN OFFICE!!!

  • AND, AS USUAL…. CONGRESS IS DOING WHAT???? I’LL TELL YOU…. NOTHING!!!!!! THEY DO, HOWEVER, TAKE THEIR PAYCHECKS AND THERE IS A LIBERAL PIECE OF TRASH ACTUALLY DEMANDING A RAISE!!!!! THAT HAD US LAUGHING FOR DAYS, ASSUMING SHE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS BOEHNER…. A DRUNK!!!! BUT SHE ACTUALLY HAD A DEMAND FOR A RAISE FOR THE SENATE!!!! THIS muslim ASS IN THE WHITE HOUSE WILL PROBABLY GIVE IT TO THEM…. UNDESERVED…. BUT THEY DO NEED TO GET PAID FOR KISSING ASS…. DON’T THEY, PIECE OF GUTTER TRASH????

  • Isnt it apparant to everyone Washington DC is a whole different country now. Republican & Democratic people for the most part have joined hands in doing the Washington 2 step to Muslim & Communistic tunes!!!!

  • The government has been over-reaching and the courts are out of hand. I think part of it is the Talmudic reasoning applied to the law since the takeover of the law schools.

  • Too late. We have allowed this unholy alliance between courts and police and governing agencies hungry for cash to go on too long. Now extreme measures will be necessary.

  • Lets see now. This district attorney thinks he can freeze assets as soon as a person is accused of a crime. Well That is Not true. A person is considered innocent until they have been convicted of said crime. The government has no justification to seize property of an innocent person Under the sixth amendment. Just where do they get these morons they put into positions of authority that don’t even know simple Americans constitutional rights and the law? Strict interpolation of the sixth amendment doesn’t even allow police to take what they think is evidence from a crime scene if it is personal property of the person being accused of a crime. Police may take finger prints, blood samples but not computers pictures. clothing, weapons or anything else that personally belongs to the person accused without a court order. and it had better be specific in what they can take and not cart blanch.
    Yes the police, FBI, FDA, SS, ATF, and other law enforcement agencies violate American citizens rights on a daily basis. Its a simple case of they do it until someone tells them they cannot do it anymore.

  • I think that this happens a lot. David, is correct our government is like “Organized Crime”. Although, I think that Organized Crime, may be more fair. Our Government just continues to tax, and tax us, at the same time giving out more, and more entitlements.

    I also think that DOJ, doesn’t operate fairly, when they charge people. You will see the Feds indict somebody on 20 plus charges, but let them plea to one. They shouldn’t be able to do that. Our system really needs some changes.

  • Until, “WE THE PEOPLE”, as stated in the Constitution, exercise our rights given by of Fore Fathers, begin to use those rights, we are doomed! We are gaurranteed certain unalienable GOD given rights! The 6th Amendment is only as good as the 1st and 2nd! We have the right, and justifiably so, to remove a ” tyrannical Government if necessary! And “NO” we do not have to have a war to do it! The President, the Congress, and the Supreme Court know this and are trying to prevent us from doing so by their actions! Maybe it is time, to “legally” replace these people with those who “WILL” follow the Constitution! For over 238 years this piece of paper, some want to change and even destroy, has worked flawlessly!

  • Let’s we, that means you are “guilty before being convicted”! Hmmm! I was always taught, “you are innocent until proven guilty”! Maybe that is why U.S. History is no longer taught vigorously in School any longer!

  • We can exercise OUR rights given to us in the Constitution, “REPLACE A TYRANICAL GOVERNMENT” that our fire fathers knew would come along!

  • The 2nd Amendment, which every every anti-gunner uses against us” continues to say, if you read it fully, to remove A TYRANICAL GOVERNMENT! MAYBE this is what our fore Fathers were talking about? I think YES!

  • The overreach of this administration has become common place and I believe a final attempt is coming for the agenda set by the administration. I think we will see a huge push as the election draws near The warning of such is clear if we look at what has been “allowed” this far. The stage is set for this to happen if you look at what and who have been placed in leading positions of government. Mr. Obama’s constant “I don’t care what the constitution says” paints a picture of what is to come. I honestly believe that he intends to try to “keep” his position in government and with the inaction of the house, senate, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the placement of his fixed staff, he has built a fairly good wall to make it happen. This follows a pattern of what dictators have accomplished in the past. Can’t happen???WE will see.

  • As it stands now the Senate and Congress are bought and paid for. I consider the speaker of the house, and the Senate majority leader as being traitors. Infighting will give the opposition the good chance to win. I think that the politicians all think that they will get a cushy job when the One World Order takes over. What they don’t realize is that the Illuminati has the one goal of snuffing out 2/3 of the world’s population. When those dummies in Congress have used up their usefulness, they too will join us in the snuff line.

    It’s gone too far. There seems to now be a point of no return. Our only hope now is if Trump can maintain the lead. Otherwise, we as the public, have very little hope. Not enough people are willing to work together to change the climate. Not enough good people are willing to stand up for their rights. So as sheep, we will march to the slaughter.

    People have turned their backs to the very basics that made this Nation great. What used to be good, is now bad. And what was bad, is now rewarded. Broken families, no unity, and turning away from God. That will not get us to where we need to go. At this stage, one thing that each and everyone of us can do, is to use the power of the prayer. That along with waking up and becoming activists who can push back against tyranny. With those 2 things, it can change the tide. Believe in it, expect it, and protect yourselves.

  • Somehow, once a normal person is elected… they believe the transformation of the oath of office makes them a god with the rights to control ANY situation as they see fit!!!! This egomania is predominate in democrats, but can and has spread to republicans. THIS is the argument for term limits… had we had term limits in congress our elected officials would know…. you time is almost over…. do the job, then get out!!! The other side of the coin is.. why bother?? we will be out in a set time anyway. Right now, I would prefer term limits. When congress passes laws then exempts themselves…. they believe they are kings. When human life is not a sacred trust to be kept…. they believe they are kings. When grand theft occurs because they write the laws and steal legally (??) from the laws they write… they are kings. When they pass laws so against the will of the people… they believe they are kings. WE, THE PEOPLE, NEED….. NO!!! MUST… TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK FROM THE EGOTISTICAL, IMMORAL, LYING ODUMB-ASS AND HIS PERVERTED FOLLOWERS!!! OUR CURRENT LEADERS ARE WEAK AND NOT UP TO A TUSSLE IN THE NAME OF FREEDOM!!! BOEHNER WILL AGREE TO ANYTHING THE ILLEGAL TURD IN OFFICE WANTS…. EVEN AT THE EXPENSE OF AMERICAN LIVES. HE MUST BE REMOVED… I WOULD PREFER A TRIAL AND REMOVAL OF ALL HIS BENEFITS!!! THE ASS IN THE WHITE HOUSE HAS NEVER HAD THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AT HEART… FROM THE TIME HE STOLE FROM THE TREASURY TO BUY WATCHES TO GIVE TO WELFARE RECIPIENTS TO BUY VOTES AND THEN THE MASSIVE ILLEGAL INFLUX OF THOUSANDS OF ILLEGALS WHO NEVER MET THE ENTRY REQUIREMENTS!!!! THIS WAS NOT DONE TO SAVE LIVES… THEY WERE NOT IN DANGER OF DEATH… REGARDLESS OF THE LIES THE TURD OPINED!!! AS A RESULT AMERICANS ARE DEAD… ATTACKED VICIOUSLY IN THEIR HOME COUNTRY…YOUNG CHILDREN HAVE BEEN RAPED AND ABUSED IN THEIR HOME COUNTRY JUST LIKE muslim TRASH DO THEIR OWN…….. THANKS TO AN ASS WHO TOOK AN OATH TO PROTECT AND DEFEND…. SHOWS WHAT HIS IMPRESSION OF AN OATH IS AND HOW LITTLE HE IS MORALLY!!! THE TEA PARTY SERIOUS???? THEN FIGHT TO REMOVE MEMBERS WHO SPEAK THE SPEAK BUT DO NOT WALK THE WALK!!!! START WITH CONGRESS…. THEN LET’S BE HONEST ABOUT THE TURD IN OFFICE…. STOP GIVING THE ASS A PASS…. ESPECIALLY BY LIBERALS… THE REASON WE ARE IN THIS POSITION!!! IT SEEMS ASS KISSING IS MORE RESPECTABLE TO THEM THAN REALITY!!!

  • MUCH better solution!!!! WHERE DO I VOTE?????? THE FALL OF THIS COUNTRY WILL BE ATTRIBUTED TO THE GUTTER TRASH ASS IN OFFICE AND HIS ENTOURAGE…. INCLUDING KILLORY WHO KILLED AMERICANS…. AND YES, IT DOES MATTER!!!!!

  • Correct and we have desperately tried to no avail. But now the end is coming, the time when the fake money subsides along with the peoples dependency on it. They had a taste of it in 1929, this will be much greater. During the war the Russians resorted to eating humans. It’s all about money. Will people starve all will they agree to operate without the need for money. If so the spell would be broken. The matrix does not allow people power. So while in the matrix the people have no power. If they did, we would not be faced with our present situation. So zero currency is the way for the people to use their power to get out of the matrix.

  • Too big, too corrupt, and now weaponized against the people… The ones who stand for freedom and oppose obama’s leftist radical, pro-islamic, anti-christian world order anyway..

  • “The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first.” — Thomas Jefferson.

  • They just KEEP ON adding fuel to the fire! When WE as citizens decide that ENOUGH IS ENOUGH and take our 2nd Amendment Rights to the Court House and ARREST the attorneys (The STATE BAR is a criminal enterprise in Texas as MONOPOLIES are prohibited by the Texas Constitution) (Art. 1 Sec. 6) and hold a common law court with the people running it, THEN we can see justice!

    Do NOT forget that ALL judges are BAR Card attorneys FIRST!

    Since 1812 attorneys have been DELIBERATELY violating the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. We apparently LOST that war. The 13th specifically prohibits anyone who has a ‘title of nobility’ such as ‘Esquire’ from EVER holding ANY PUBLIC OFFICE!

    This was sent to the States for ratification in 1811 which caused England to attack in 1812. The attorneys have been working diligently to overthrow the Constitutions of the U.S. & the States by Amending them to pervert the original intent.

    Specifically, in 1997, the Texas Constitution in Article 6 – Suffrage, prohibited 3 classes of people from voting: (1) Anyone who was getting welfare payments of any kind, (2) Anyone who was under the age of 21, and (3) Anyone who was mentally unfit.

    The Voting Judges, who are at the polling places for the duration of the voting period, allowed EVERYONE to vote to change this to what it reads now:
    “(1) persons under 18 years of age;
    (2) persons who have been determined mentally incompetent by a court, subject to such exceptions as the Legislature may make; and
    (3) persons convicted of any felony, subject to such exceptions as the Legislature may make.”

    Such violations in and of themselves did cause this election to be null and void ab initio!

    In addition, the Texas Constitution in Art 2 states:
    “. . . and no person, or collection of persons, being of one of these departments, shall exercise any power properly attached to either of the others,”

    Now EVERYONE knows that attorneys (called ‘lawyers’ by many) are “Officers of the Court”, and, the TEXAS BAR Association was created by and is run by the Texas Supreme Court! There is NO WAY that any attorney can EVER run for nor HOLD any office in either the Executive or Legislative Branches!

    Any attorney [[ Ted Cruz specifically]] claiming to hold any office in either Branch can be arrested, tried, and HUNG for TREASON! The Texas Supreme Court has determined that “ignorance of the law is no excuse” for OFFICERS! These have been elected/appointed (hired) to ‘preserve, protect, and defend’ the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas so any claim of ignorance is deliberate and wilfull!

    Now, about those ‘laws’. The Legislature cannot write ANYTHING that attempts to control any citizen nor his property! The STATUTES are specifically written to inform the EMPLOYEES as to the Rules that they are liable for. The Law is what the people wrote – the Constitution!

    The fraud that has been perpetrated on the people is so GREAT that it is virtually unimaginable! The cars that you bought NEW was DONATED to the State when you signed the Request for Certificate of Title.

    How can you prove this to yourself? Well, read Transportation Code Art. 501.004. “APPLICABILITY. (a) Except as provided by this section, this chapter applies to all motor vehicles, including a motor vehicle owned by the state or a political subdivision of the state.”

    Well, here is what happened in 2011:

    “SECTION 3. Section 501.004(a), Transportation Code, is amended to read as follows: (a) Except as provided by this section, this [This] chapter applies to all motor vehicles, including a motor vehicle owned by the state or a political subdivision of the state.” The underlined portions were ADDED!

    Folks, this Code was adopted in 1965, the same year that the Texas Militia Requirements were REPEALED, and this wasn’t changed until 4 years ago! YEP! I had something to do with them rewriting it!

    Also, to prove the concept of PRIVATE not being controlled, go to http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us . Go to the top Search box. When it opens it will have a box labeled: “Code(S) to Search” ignore this box. The next box down is “Text to Search for:” In this box enter “private vehicle” . You must use the double-quotation marks so it will search for the exact phrase.

    When it opens it will show 4 references: Transportation Code Chapters 541, 545, 546. & 547.

    Each of these is an EXCEPTION for ‘private vehicles’ when they are used in a specific emergency situation. This should prove to anyone that the Legislature can only EXCEPT for ‘private’ NOT control it!

  • The 17th Amendment has NEVER been ratified! It means NOTHING! You have to start with the 13th which prohibits anyone who holds a ‘title of nobility’ (esquire) from ever holding any public office. This was Sent for Ratification in 1811 which caused the War of 1812 because England has been perverting our laws since the 1790’s.

    All of the Amendments since then have been renumbered to hide the true 13th. Do a Google Search to see the MANY verified sources showing the ratified 13th. Because they were renumbered, they CAN’T be ratified!

    AND, with an attorney sitting in Congress, there is a violation of the Separation of Powers clause which makes everything that Congress attempts NULL AND VOID AB INITIO!

    We have been sending these crooks to Washington to get rich and they have been doing just that!

    By Law, we can arrest them all and try them for treason in a common law court (that is the people’s court) and hang them for treason! We will need a LOT of rope!

    Whenever an elected (or appointed) officer deliberately violates the Constitution or any Statutes they commit Treason! Treason is giving aid and comfort to the enemy. By violating our laws they are aiding and abetting ENGLAND who has already attacked the U.S. 3 times in 1812.

    The BAR Association is a product of England. BAR is an acronym from British Accredited Registry which is the official listing of all Agents of the Crown.

    I do think that you need to publish more on this subject, it may not be a taboo subject but usually folks don’t talk about these subjects.
    To the next! Best wishes!!
