SCOTUS confirms what most of us already know... Justices Rule Police Do Not Have a Constitutional Duty to Protect SomeoneBy LINDA GREENHOUSE, Published: June 28, 2005 WASHINGTON, June 27 - The Supreme Court ruled on Monday that the police did not have a constitutional duty to protect a person from harm, even a woman who had obtained a court-issued protective order against a violent husband making an arrest mandatory for a violation. www.nytimes.com/2005/06/28/politics/28scotus.html?_r=1&

The city, town, state, fed are all corporations. The LEO's and Agents are contracted employees with limited powers and responsibilities. However to keep them in check they are required to swear an oath to defend the constitution of the state and the nation. However as far as the decision is concerned it is true and this decision was made over 30 years ago. The only place I ever saw that "Serve and Protect" line was on Adam-12 in the Jack Webb tv productions of Adam 12 and his other LA based TV shows. Soon after though LA and other areas that had high civil unrest began putting it on their cruisers and motorcycles. Policemen, Sheriff's DEPUTIES, State Highway Patrol Agents, and such are all revenue collection agents. They are hired to enforce Ordinances, Regulations, Statutes, and commercial license rules. The result of this enforcement is fines and fees and Court costs that add to the Corporate larder of funds. The Sheriff is the only elected State Constitutional law enforcement officer. He as such has an obligation to respond to us and enforce the Common Law of the Nation over local ordinances. The County Corporation is derived from the Leiber Code issued by Lincoln under the guise of General Order 100 to provide guidance to the District Military Commanders. This order establishes the County Commission to become the interface between the Military and the people. This was needed as Lincoln had declared martial law, which to this day has not been rescinded. This Commission of civilians was tasked with providing the Sheriff with deputies and civilian courts to respond to Disturbances by the people which were not allowed under the Martial law decree without having the military respond. History is where the answers to today's problem exist.

Term limits for SCOTUS! If they support any form of gun limits, then term limits is the least of our concerns. God help us, and God forgive us, but we will do what is needed.
