RE: Above the law? Does the law even apply? What's the evidence?

If you don't accept the validity of property rights, then there is nothing that can be taken from you that would violate your rights because you would have no rights to anything. If you do accept the validity of property rights, then you must accept that you were born into a world that was owned by others, whose rules you must follow when you are on their land.

With few exceptions, all land in the United States has its allodial title held by a government. That title was acquired by virtue of having occupied and defending the land. This is easily established more than just beyond a reasonable doubt but pretty much beyond question.

Yes, to find you guilty of a crime, it must be determined that the a law was properly passed by the appropriate holder of allodial title to the location or their designer or that the connection to such land was sufficiently strong. If you recognize property rights, which you must to make your argument work, I don't see how you can discard the government's property rights in their title.

You can certainly argue that you don't like this arrangement and you can work to get the Democratic process to change it. But I don't see how you can coherently argue that this is not in fact the case and that it's not based on property rights.
