The Law that Was!
The Original Thirteenth Amendment!
Though titles of nobility were prohibited by both Article VI of the Articles of Confederation (1777) and in Article I, Sect. 9 of the Constitution of the United States (1787), the Founding Fathers saw a considerable loophole. The implication is that it was intended to prevent lawyers from serving in the federal government. At some later time it was stricken from the Constitution by people, mostly lawyers, who claimed a title of nobility, "Esquire." There is ample evidence that it was ratified by the required three fourths of the States at that time. In those days, lawyers belonged to the International Bar Association, chartered by the King of England and would have been barred from holding offices in the government of the United States. Today, it may only be an historical oddity because lawyers today belong to the American Bar Association rather than the IBA. This, as is the case with the fraudulent declaration that the Sixteenth Amendment was ratified, further proves that men in the pursuit of power will not be deterred by the laws of men. Until the people of this nation demand that those in government pay strict adherence to our Constitution we are doomed to be ruled by devious men who take an oath to support our Constitution with no intention of living up to their oathes of office.

Some may regard this as heresy of one variety or another - after all, are we not arguably a nation of, by and for lawyers? I love it. Esquire, my _ _ s!
