I was the youngest life-tenured Superior Court judge in the history of the State of New Jersey and I'll be here today from 1PM to 2PM ET to take your questions and to talk about my new book "Suicide Pact" (http://suicidepactbook.com/), a book exposing the alarming history of presidential power grabs performed in the name of national security.

Today through Wednesday, when you buy "Suicide Pact", you'll be eligible to get another one of my books, "The Freedom Answer Book", for free. Find details here: http://suicidepactbook.com/bookbomb.php

Gulch Producers get a third book of mine, "Theodore and Woodrow: How Two American Presidents Destroyed Constitutional Freedom", for free as well. Find details here: http://www.galtsgulchonline.com/posts/1a...

Alex will be helping me out with my today by reading me the questions over the phone and typing my responses. I look forward to your questions and comments. I'll be back at 1PM ET.

    Hi Judge Andrew,
    Thank you for being here. Can you please answer this one. For the life of me I cannot understand how that farce of a trial can continue in Arizona. Juan Martinez, Horn and Flores are clearly complicit or one of them has acted singly, to destroy evidence highly suspected of being child porn on Travis Alexander's computer. In my mind, and that of countless others, this would have swayed the jury to reach a different verdict to that of Premeditated murder. The sentencing trial is continuing with a non-sequestered jury, without regard to the fact that simultaneously, Martinez is having to answer to what is tantamount to prosecutorial misconduct at a trial within a trial. The jury are theoretically supposed to know nothing about the other inquiry that is continuing without their presence. How can Judge Stephens allow this state of affairs to continue? In my opinion, Judge Sherry Stephens is a laughing stock around the world. I am Australian, so if I am missing some point of law, please enlighten me. Thank you Pamela Valemont

    Thanks for posting that link again. I missed it when you originally posted it. It is a slow tortuous read, but eventually makes valid points.

    And I didn't say it did. I said it is the set of principles above that national system of laws and that, without it, that national system of laws has no right to exist.

    Well it is true that they all tried to influence government officials in their favor. However, in the scales of justice I would not fault them as much as those politicos that swore an oath and then took the money in a manner where a quid pro quo outcome could be determined. Those industrialists took no such oath and I would not expect them to be held to the same standard. In their day, in their dog eat dog world, they often had to pay to play. There were many in office, then as today, driven by envy and desire to wield tyrannical power that would destroy the wealthy and their businesses for their own redistribution goals. Many of the things those industrialists did were for self preservation. In the case of a protection racket who is the bigger villain? That is not to say that there were no excesses...

    " the federal government wouldn’t have the money to do much of what it does today because the states just wouldn’t send it [money] in."
    Yes! In today's world, states use taxpayer monies to fund programs to help residents of the state get money from federal programs. So people send their money to US Treasury and the State. The state uses that money to help people get back money they pay to the US Treasury. This would all stop if the states funded the federal gov't.

    There is so much in those five sentences. I agree wholeheartedly.

    I like to think the Constitution is a foolproof formula where checks-and-balances make gov't not dependeing on the fedelity of those whose hands it's placed. That's a conceit. The Constitution only only works if we the people constantly work for it.

    Really incredible ... I'm buying the book to support the judge (and because the subject matter deserves attention) ... we need more like him! Thanks for coming to the Gulch!

    Nobody said it wasn't valid.

    I said it had no legal standing in our current national system of laws. And that's true.

    Lol. Deja vu. I was stuck in traffic today and unable to get to a computer to read your answers at the appointed time. So, while I sat in traffic I began daydreaming about what the hearings would be like if you were ever nominated for the Supreme Court.
    In my mind, they were a doozy.
    Can’t wait!

    The US government never asked for my consent, nor did I give it. Not that I would have given it anyway.

    But if the Declaration is invalid, then we are all still British subjects and have no right not to be.

    The leeches will never vanish unless we start over again from scratch and have membership requirements.

    Indeed, the establishment Republicans spent our campaign money to help elect their friends in an ultimate act of cronyism. The Democrats spent our tax money to keep themselves in power. The Tea Party didn't get beaten because their candidates are not any good, or whether they are religious or atheist. They got beaten because they were not willing to compromise their values in order to get elected. The bottom line is that NOTHING can be done about it, because we are too few and too poor to make the kind of change to the USA that we want. It is definitely time to shrug and start Atlantis.

    I do too! Maybe if we can get rid of more of the riffraff in 2016 and JudgeNap can have a new job. That would be so sweet!

    The establishment party leaders did that by spending a lot of money and spreading a lot of lies -- about both the tea party and themselves. They didn't make the movement history, they are causing more resentment that is going to blow up in their faces. The question now is how much do those entrenched in power, as range of the moment pragmatists, realize it and what will be done about it. It would help a lot for the tea party movement to stop supporting flakes -- usually the religious nuts -- just because they claim to affiliate with the movement, and who are then exploited to smear the whole movement.
