All you need is enough people to believe you have the right to do so. How do you think the current court system exists? It only exists because enough people believe these certain people have the right to hold court.

To this point. Those who know, will know.

Texas State law prohibits courts of no record in municipalities that have courts of record. However, Austin, which does have a municipal court of record, uses a court of no record to adjudicate petty misdemeanor crimes. The law states, in very plain English, using the words, "shall not," but Austin does it anyway. No fucks given.

I've had plenty of experiences with traffic court in my younger years. It always really pissed me off how people seemed to think that if traffic courts are corrupt as hell it says nothing about the rest of the law. I could not disagree more, but that's the problem isn't it. People don't care and will make any excuse, valid or not, to explain why they don't care.

I would quote the traffic code, the judges manual, case law and the judge wouldn't care. Then again it probably didn't help that in most cases I pointed out that I objected to having my case heard by a commissioner rather than a judge and so refused to use the phrase, "Your Honor" when addressing the commissioner.

Unfortunately, once the system is created they tend to close the gate behind them.

What civil powers do unorganized militia have?

Only those they have the power to defend against those who claim a higher power.

If you're going to make a militia, you make it big and fast.

Legally you have little or no standing once you declare yourself militia or take any action as one. Morally you have every right to do so. The safety vested in (when) doing so should be backed up by its own inherent force.

You would need articles of operation, A statement of intent would be good (related to your rationale for assembling), chains of command, a separate military legal system, a code of military justice, and of course men and arms to fill command, judicial and ranks. At that point you are a standing militia, legally entitled to challenge any component of government, even at force of arms, given proper justification (a cassus belli).

I think 10k men per state would be more than sufficient... We keep saying 3%.. It would take a fraction of that. People are insouciant.

As much as they are willing to exercise.
