welcome back to the channel guys today's
video comes out of the 53rd circuit
court in prestill county michigan
with judge aaron gauthier gaudiya i
think and he's dealing with an unruly
sovereign citizen for the third time in
zumkot i will link part one and part two
which has already been covered by law
talk with mike in the description below
yeah i chose to cover this video in
particular because this is the hearing
where the judge has heard enough of this
sovereign citizens word salad and
buffoonery and finally lays down the law
with her and it's pure gold
let's get into the video
all right good morning miss christensen
can you hear me
yes i can hear you all right good
morning we are
back on the record in the 53rd circuit
court for the county of presque isle
our next case on the docket
is people of the state of michigan
versus angela marie christensen let's
file 21-93185
fh
we have ms christensen attending by zoom
representing herself
well she is at the moment but that's not
going to be the case for much longer and
anyway what sort of person turns up to
court to represent themselves wearing a
bobble heart
and the president attorney mr radziban
is here in the courtroom we are
providing public access both in the
courtroom and
online and uh miss christensen although
you're hearing from your home uh for
convenience sake it might not feel like
a court hearing but it is a court
hearing so i'm gonna ask you to please
remove your your hat
oh sorry
no worries okay thank you
all right so
as we begin the hearing um just like
last time i'm required each time to
remind you that you do have the right to
the assistance of a lawyer if you wish
and
that includes the right to a lawyer at
public expense
if you uh were indigent
and that you've previously waived that
right and wish to represent yourself and
so i guess i want to
ask you again do you uh reaffirm that
you'd like to represent yourself in this
matter or would you like to have a
lawyer
no i would like to self-govern and i
stand on my paperwork
so okay i'll ask the question why would
you even file paperwork with the court
if you self-govern
and better still why show up to court at
all
doesn't it kind of weaken your position
somewhat
okay so
what we have today you did file um four
written
notices
that were some type of relief
and we had adjourned the hearing to
today uh for any argument on that so the
prosecutor has
has had a chance to review them
so miss chris said um you say that you
stand by the paperwork and that's fine i
do have the paperwork in front of me is
there any
is there any
argument that you'd want to make uh on
your behalf right now to me in support
of those claims or do you wish to just
uh
rely on the on the written pleadings you
file
it is my wish to stand on my paperwork
okay
mr razban do the people have any
argument in opposition to those four
notices
your honor i've reviewed the paperwork
and
i guess while she may not recognize
or honor the state of the law i don't
believe that there's any
relief that's recognized
under law that would
allow you to dismiss this case against
her based on what she's alleged
okay
all right well miss kristen said now i'm
going to make a ruling on the on the uh
notices which i'm construing as some
motion or request for relief
you know if your filings don't even make
sense to a judge then that should be a
huge red flag to you that what you are
filing is complete nonsense
and uh
i've got a written order that i'll enter
i'll read it at this point defendant
who at this point in the case is
representing herself has filed four
handwritten notices
these notices appear to seek relief in
one form or another
as to the first notice defendant asserts
that she is a woman and not a defendant
the court finds that angela christensen
is both a woman and a defendant in this
criminal action to the extent her notice
seeks relief such relief is denied
as to the second notice
defendant demands that any man or woman
with a claim against her appear and
present such claim in open court
to the extent that this notice seeks to
invoke defendant's right to confront her
accusers this court will enforce that
right
the right of confrontation
does not require the complaining
witnesses to appear at all pre-trial
hearings
but only the trial or any necessary
evidentiary hearings
so to the extent that this notice seeks
to require the appearance of any
complaining witnesses at all pre-trial
hearings
such relief is denied
as to the third notice
defendant asserts that this court lacks
authority over her
and that only her creator has that
authority
without gain saying the authority of the
creator it can be noted that religious
traditions commonly recognize that the
creator has instituted human authority
as well
in this matter the people of the state
of michigan
through ratifying the 1963 state
constitution as well as its predecessor
constitutions have established this
court and its authority
the people of the state of michigan
through their elected representatives
have established laws that apply in this
court and the people of this county have
elected this judge to serve in this
office
and this court has subject matter over
this felony prosecution
and has personal jurisdiction over this
defendant any relief sought by this
notice is denied
and as to the fourth notice defendant
claims that this court and the
government exist only because she allows
them to exist
to the extent that this assertion
reiterates the proposition that our
constitutional republic is founded on
the consent of the govern
such proposition is axiomatic as a
general matter
however
this proposition does not require that
the government must obtain consent or
permission from each individual person
before exerting governmental authority
over that person
such an idea is nonsense
power
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
did you hear that sofsits it's nonsense
and that goes for the rest of your wacky
claims too
and would result not in a constitutional
republic but in anarchy
this defendant's views would render all
the criminal laws null and void which is
legally and practically absurd
therefore any relief sought by this
notice is also denied
all right so ms christensen uh all of
the claims and papers that you have
filed i have found to be lacking in
legal and factual merit and i have
denied any such relief and i'm entering
that's fine please stop referring to me
as a defendant and i guess the next step
will be i guess i gotta do the actual
filing of the claims if you're gonna
deny all of those
no those i don't know what claims you're
talking about you filed some claims or
notices or requests no i did not even
file my plans yet i did notice is i did
not file my claims yet i've been putting
that off because i really don't want to
have to file claims and ruin people's
lives and ruin their jobs because
they're not upholding my constitutional
rights as a woman not a defendant i am a
woman only i woman angela i woman angela
i woman angela that's it not defendant
i'm not a defendant
well you are
did you just try to perform a jedi mind
trick on the judge there by repeating i
woman angela three times
because you know that doesn't work right
yeah okay in your opinion and legally is
yes but i am a woman so do we need to do
trial by jury when we can do my claims
and file my court with your court at the
same time
because that's going to be my next
compile claims against everybody
involved in this case because there is
no
verified claim and complaints and claims
are two different things
i don't want to file claims i'm trying
very hard and i've been trying hard to
not do that but i guess if we got to
keep going that's my next step and i
will file proper claims with the proper
people and the insurancing for the
bonding so
i don't know what you want to do at this
point and i really don't want to have to
do that
threatening the judge with a lien
because that always works out so well
for sovereign citizens doesn't it
just christian i i got to tell you i
don't know what in the heck you're
talking about
you're talking
well that judge is because you didn't
attend youtube law school
so so here's the thing
i am not going to relinquish my
authority in this case i'm not
all right the prosecutor's office can
dismiss the case they're choosing not to
so that means we do have to go forward
to a jury trial unless you want to plead
guilty all right so what i'm going to do
is
your your ramblings here today and at
previous hearings
and
after i reviewed your written notices
it's clear to me that you have no
concept
of the legal and factual issues at stake
and i would never know anything about
legalese because i never went to school
to do that legally so i don't understand
that part
all right you're illustrating my next
point and you have no respect for the
authority of the court you continue to
interrupt me and such and file these
nonsense claims so i am hereby
withdrawing my consent for you to
represent yourself
i'm referring this matter to the office
of assigned counsel for appointment so
any papers you file in this case i will
reject because they have to be filed i
don't accept that offer and i do not
require you to give me any court
appointed attorney and i will
self-govern because that is my right
so what right is that then and i suppose
that's something only a semester at
youtube law school can teach
and good on the judge for withdrawing
his consent she doesn't realize it but
it really is for her own good
if she doesn't understand legalese or
even court rules she has no business
representing herself
but at least the next court hearing
should be interesting with her in the
actual courtroom
i see a contempt of court charge coming
her way
i don't want an attorney i don't do
legalese i'm sorry i'm not trying to be
rude or disrespectful i'm trying to be
very decent
i stand on my paperwork and i'll do the
rest of my paperwork i will keep doing
it and now i'm going to file my claims
so that's fine
but no i don't need no legal counsel i
refuse that offer i do not accept that
offer i'm sorry with all due respect to
you i i don't accept that
she keeps mistaking an order for an
offer i don't think she knows what
either means
well this kristen said it wasn't an
offer
so
we are scheduling this next
for a docket call
on february 14th
at 10 30 in the morning
and
that
and i'll refer to the office of assigned
counsel for you to have an attorney at
that hearing
you are no longer allowed to represent
yourself in this matter and you will be
in person in my courtroom at that date
and time
i'm sorry but i cannot be there i can do
it via zoom and i don't accept that
offer either unless you want to
compensate me for my gas and my time
pay for your guessing time are you
kidding what next your wi-fi bill for
zoomcorp
this actually reminds me of the time
devon bear sent this invoice for 86 000
to pal keeps his city court for the time
he spent studying memorizing his notes
and printing out his paperwork
oh and gas in his car for traveling and
not driving to court
oh and let's not forget claws for court
unbelievable
because i can't do that i can't afford
to sorry
mr christensen it's not an offer i want
to have you here because you've
expressed such this disregard for the
proceedings i want to have you here so
you can your attorney mrs christensen
stop interrupting me it's not an offer
you will be here or i will issue a
warrant for your arrest if you refuse to
attend in person
all right we'll see you february 14th or
i'll issue a warrant for your arrest you
have a good day have a nice day
all right we will be in recess until 11
a.m for a settlement

what we need a lot more of
