Incorrect The Constitution is the Law now you are the monetary conspiracy theorist......Money is defined in the Constitution and its the origin of all US Law ....31usc5115 only defines US notes as constitutional Lawful Money.............phew glad that's over.
The text from 37th Congress is Law because it's in harmony with the definition of Money....evidenced by Title 31USC being enacted into positive law. Those notes can't be fractionally lent upon or be tendered as payment for the public debt.........Whhew glad that's over.
Show me where the constitution defines money then. You haven't ever been able to show me where it does because it doesn't.
You just agreed with me? You said 31 USC 5115 only defines United States Notes as lawful money, which is exactly what I've been saying all along. That's all the statute does--it defines United States Notes as lawful money. They never tell us what "lawful money" means.
As for positive law: 31 USC 5115 is the law. Period. As you so kindly point out, congress has enacted that part of the code as positive law, and it says nothing about lawful money. Indeed, according to the Office of the Law Revision Counsel's page on this: "Statutory text appearing in a positive law title is the text of the statute and is presumably identical to the statutory text appearing in the Statutes at Large.
Because a positive law title is enacted as a whole by Congress, and the original enactments are repealed, statutory text appearing in a positive law title has Congress's "authoritative imprimatur" with respect to the wording of the statute. See Washington-Dulles Transp., Ltd. v. Metro. Wash. Airports Auth., 263 F.3d 371, 378 n.2 (4th Cir. Va. 2001); see generally Norman J. Singer & J.D. Shamble Singer, Statutes and Statutory Construction, § 36A.10, (7th ed. 2009). Recourse to other sources such as the Statutes at Large is unnecessary when proving the wording of the statute unless proving an unlikely technical error in the publication process."
Juliard upheld US notes lawful money status and Congress and 31usc5115 in entirety........INCLUDING THE ACCOUNTING of lawful money evidenced by "except for duties on imports and interest on the public debt"...........there you go Case Law of the Accounting.
I agree with you 100% on what the court held, which is that United States Notes were lawful money and that 31 USC 5115 was constitutional. But the "accounting" you're talking about isn't accounting at all. Juilliard merely says that United States Notes are lawful money and a legal tender, "except for duties on imports and interest on the public debt." That's what the statute says, and all it means is that United States Notes aren't lawful money or a legal tender for those specific purposes.
The definition is in the Constitution just cause you deny it doesn't mean a Court especially district court can........Yeah there you go "Congress establish NATIONAL CURRENCY" so what makes it lawful money? It's issued by the NATION not the BANK in contract FOR reserves provided by the NATION need proof? See 12usc411 for Fed Notes then see 31usc5115 for US Notes and report back who issues what hurry now points deducted for lateness.......whew glad that's over.
Once again, I beg you to show me that definition. It's not in there. No court has ever said that the constitution
defines money. As for what "national currency" means, congress authorized the Fed and it authorized the Fed to issue for Federal Reserve Notes; we already went through whether or not the congress constitutionally delegated such authority, and the courts held that it did. Question settled. Your thoughts about what national currency should be are irrelevant.
The constitution does not say that national currency must be issued directly by the treasury and not used as reserves for fractional reserve lending. The fact that United States Notes were and could not be so used is irrelevant to whether the federal government has the power to do such things.
Yes we have two currencies go read all about it in the Treasury FAQhttp://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/faqs/currency/pages/legal-tender.aspx One of those currencies is lawful money and may serve as lawful reserves to float fed notes along with other forms of lawful money but these notes are bound by statute and may not exceed 300 million so that's no way for Congress to "be your daddy" at all can't even mandate single payer healthcare for that chump change man.........fed notes then serve as fractional reserves for more fed notes which makes them negotiable so ya whew glad that's over.
It's too bad the treasury didn't make those distinctions or claims in that page.
Milam ask how the offered redemption satisfied the Statute? Nope he refused the offer of non-negotiable notes not knowing or caring what they were or asking for accounting of them.......reckon Milam was a know it all like someone here on this thread who assumes something enjoys lawful money status from its issuance because of this case.
Absolutely right, he refused non-negotiable notes. You seem to be agreeing with me a lot now!
I am not making that argument I am saying Money is defined in the constitution and the constitution is the Law..........31usc5115 is positive law absolute evidence that US notes are lawful money. ......civil war and courts settled it .......End of story. Also factual evidence lawful money may not be used to pay interest on the national debt or for dues on imports are import taxes supposed to be collected from other countries?
Well, I hate to burst your bubble, but 31 USC 5115 says nothing about United States Notes being lawful money. That title is positive law, so it is the law, right? Does that mean United States Notes aren't lawful money, since the statute doesn't say it?
Again, the statute says United States Notes shall be lawful money and a legal tender except for those purposes. It does not say that lawful money cannot be used for those purposes in a general sense.
Oh you wouldn't at this juncture would you my my isn't that convenient for you having worked coding statutes. The term "lawful money" is used in the Fed Act so this is prima facie evidence of the accounting at the Fed........prima facie evidence Constitutional Money emitted by Congress serves as Reserves.........Prima facie evidence of the actual evidence of "bills of credit" in the Constitution and "lawful money" in positive 31usc5115..........but hey your were already aware whatever.
I never said I did that. I said I worked extensively with the code.
Anyway, I have no idea what you're trying to say. Non-positive law is a collection of statutes strung together; the collection is evidence of the law, which is scattered in the various statutes that comprise it (perhaps hundreds of acts over dozens of congresses). Positive law is a statutory scheme that is enacted into law itself--it is literally the law. The term "lawful money" in the Federal Reserve Act is the law because the act is the statute; the text of 12 USC 411 is the codification of the statute, and is prima facie evidence of what the Federal Reserve Act says because it has not been enacted into positive law. The text of the code is evidence of what the statutes say, but the statutes are what congress has enacted, not the code, so the statutes are technically the law. You're using prima facie evidence to mean something totally different.
Federal Reserve Act says "lawful money" in it the way I explain it which contradicts what you explain so ya I wouldn't read it either if I were you just crushes your case which mostly is consisting of you popping your head out of the sand once in a while and asserting "fed notes are lawful money"with not proof whatsoever.
Quote that text for me then. Thanks. Obviously it does no such thing.
It's not settled not by a long shot until all we have discussed reaches the Supreme Court much less your crappy arguments and false assertions. You can't debate the merits of the system without knowing it's foundation and all its parts...soon as you are ready to talk about debt instruments that bear interest that ultimately steal wealth from the poor then maybe you could qualify for such a discussion.
Yet more ignorance. When courts decide cases, their decisions are the law until overturned. Period. The supreme court has not addressed these matters, so the court decisions we have are the law. Period. Indeed, the supreme court refused to take some of the cases we've discussed. They didn't feel the need or want to weigh in.
