2998 is unconstitutional under Texas law
Candice Schwager ATTORNEY AT LAW Tel: (832) 315-8489 Fax: (832) 514-4738 schwagerlawfirm@live.com House Bill 2998 is Unconstitutional The Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution dictates that the U.S. Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land. Any contrary State Law is VOID. Texas Constitution limits the power of Legislators to enact laws in the same manner. The UGJPPJA purports to do something that even the President, an Act of Congress, or Constitutional Amendment cannot do because it would violate the laws of other sovereigns and deprive States of Statehood by removing their borders, such that Texas would cease to be Texas. What you are now considering via the UAGPPJA has been passed in 40 States and is being considered by 5 more—Texas included. Thank God, Texas is the one state who cannot agree to this absurd law by virtue of line 1 of 1 Article 1 of its Constitution, which states that Texas is a free state subject only to the United States Constitution. When I considered the UAGPPJA, I felt led to read about Secession, I was so disturbed by this Bill. The reason is I understand the sovereignty of my State and I knew that it was a violation of our Constitution to even think of allowing other States jurisdiction over our land. If there is one thing that is sovereign to any State, it is the property within its borders—because citizens move, land does not. The first line of our Constitution Article 1, Section 1 of the Texas Constitution, A: The Texas Constitution [1](adopted in 1876) in Article 1, Section 1 states that "Texas is a free and independent State, subject only to the Constitution of the United States..." (Note that it does not state"...subject to the President of the United States..." or "...subject to the Congress of the United States..." or "...subject to the collective will of one or more of the other States...") There is your answer to the UAGPPJA. You cannot legally approve it. But there is another key reason that the other 40 States cannot legally pass this void Statute too. It violates the United States Constitution with respect to 2 personal jurisdiction of the elderly and disabled by redefining everything we know to be Constitutionally mandated under International Shoe and its progeny of law. Personal jurisdiction has always been about sufficient minimum contacts with a State or domicile to assert jurisdiction. Domicile is where a person lives. As a result, States cannot assert jurisdiction over a person’s person unless one of the foregoing is established. States cannot assert jurisdiction over the person based upon where they own real estate, for if this were true, jurisdiction would be completely arbitrary and kidnapping would be rewarded. We also cannot even pretend to have jurisdiction over real estate of other States consistent with State Constitutions. The Uniform Guardianship Code is largely unobjectionable because it echoes the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Enforcement Act UCCJEA, with one EXCEPTION THAT WOULD CHANGE THE FACE OF AMERICA AND TEXAS AS WE KNOW IT IF IT WERE LEGAL—BY ELIMINATING STATES ENTIRELY. Section 2 purports to allow States to reach across each other’s borders to sell real estate of the person taken into guardianship. This was drafted to 3 reduce costs and hassle for lawyers, thus generating ways to ‘MAKE MORE MONEY’ off of its disabled and elderly citizens. The net effect of the Code is it creates a human lottery that is completely random with your number “drawn” when you are naïve enough to file for guardianship expecting your State to protect you instead of exploiting you. Not even the President of the United States could manage to pull of what Terry Hammond and his cronies have done-- pulling the wool over lawmakers’ eyes in 40+ States to create a Nationalized criminal statute that purports to legalize kidnapping, slavery, and genocide. This Bill will cannot legally be passed because it is illegal and an illegal law is a nullity. 4
