\u00a0Wouldn\u2019t this also make refusal to comply with state enacted mandates, for which the Judge herself has admitted, there is no lawful basis, a legal protection for farmers and ranchers?\u00a0 And would this not also include the prohibition on the SWAT team-like assaults being perpetrated in states like Wisconsin which accepted one of the USDA\u2019s multi-million dollar bribes to do a test run on NAIS\/Premises ID?<\/p>\n<p>The judge also seemed not to be concerned about the impending loss of private property rights which is an intended result of NAIS\/Premises ID; apparently having no judicial problem with livestock owners being referred to as [stakeholders, legally implying they have an interest in but are not the owners of their own property] and land owners relegated to the category of [tenants or managers] again removing them from the rightful legal ownership of the land.<\/p>\n<p>Judge Collyer\u2019s expert legal opinion went on to say that NAIS is \u201can identification and tracking program developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and adopted by state agriculture departments voluntarily\u201d.\u00a0 This is a patently false statement by the court.\u00a0 USDA <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">DID NOT<\/span> develop the NAIS or Premises ID program.\u00a0 USDA is simply trying to codify into law Codex Alimentarius and all of its international regulations and standards of which NAIS\/Premises Id is a key feature.<\/p>\n<p>Again, paying bribes to state officials to implement what the Judge herself identifies as a non-existence law or regulation should have warranted the halting of any programs regardless of what non-elected agency had launched them into the public domain on behalf of Bio-tech and Codex Alimentarius.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCollyer continued with\u2026.\u201dThey, however, completely fail to address Michigan state law, which authorizes the director of MDA to adopt programs such as NAIS compliance for cattle, and plaintiffs\u2019 reliance on federal law is misplaced.\u201d\u00a0 The Judge does not admit or allude to the fact that Michigan would not have enacted this law without federal interference or encouragement.<\/p>\n<p>The Judge seemed not to consider that Michigan officials had illegally entered into an agreement with USDA, which was the catalyst for the Michigan law, and had accepted monetary assistance, cooperative funding or what is in my opinion, legalized bribery to do so.<\/p>\n<p>The Judge seemed not to be aware of a precedence, (a judicial concept continually invoked by courts when their intended rulings are in conflict with actual law) or, as in this instance totally ignored by the court as it would have rendered the ruling void, \u00a0which states:<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u201cThe general misconception is that any statute passed by legislators bearing the appearance of law constitutes the law of the land. The Constitution of the United States is the supreme law of the land, and any statue, to be valid, must be in agreement. <strong>It is impossible for both the Constitution and a law violating it to be valid<\/strong>; one must prevail. This is succinctly stated as follows: The general rule is that an unconstitutional statute, though having the form and name of law, is in reality no law, but is wholly void, and ineffective for any purpose; since unconstitutionality dates from the time of its enactment, and not merely from the date of the decision so branding it. An unconstitutional law, in legal contemplation, is as inoperative as if it had never been passed. Such a statute leaves the question that it purports to settle just as it would be had the statute not been enacted.\u201d <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong><em>\u201cSince an unconstitutional law is void, the general principals follow that it imposes no duties, confers no rights, creates no office, bestows no power or authority on anyone, affords no protection, and justifies no acts performed under it.. A void act cannot be legally consistent with a valid one.<\/em><\/strong><em> <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">An unconstitutional law cannot operate to supersede any existing valid law.<\/span><\/em><\/strong><em><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"> Indeed, insofar as a statute runs counter to the fundamental law of the land, it is superseded thereby. No one is bound to obey an unconstitutional law and no courts are bound to enforce it.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/span><\/em><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Sixteenth American Jurisprudence, Second Edition, Section 177.
