Highly recommended to read Wayne Barbuto's "Its Not The Law"
Extensive analysis from his abuses at the hands of the ATF & the judicial system led him to do a lot of investigation, and one of the big reveals of that book, is that "the constitution" had a different name before the civil war.
For a legal document, if you change the name, its no longer the same.
The Constitution For These United States of America (orig)
is not the same as
The Constitution of the United States
This ties into the corporatization of the government, look into what the acts of 1871 actually did.
The 14th Amendment thus made us subjects and part of implicit agreement to the latter document, which is nothing but a set of Corporate Bylaws. (Or perhaps there's some other way that otherwise unconstitutional things get codified into law and arent immediately shot down by Marbury vs Madison - interesting in Barbuto's book, a judge told him that he didnt want to hear anything about case law before 1903 or so.)
So if we're going to go back to 1909, we might as well go all the way back to 1871….or 1865, was that the last time we had a lawful quorum of the States whereby the States were not subject to the corporatization by the Acts of 1871. Once they adjourned "sine die," Congress never technically met again under The Constitution For These United States of America.
