I'm not an American so I don't know if this is possible but could not a lawyer start a class action using all the sovereign citizens as complainants against a credit card company on the basis that said company did not do their due diligence before issuing cards to people so unhinged they couldn't possibly have entered into a contract with someone that required informed consent?
I feel like putting these people on the stand for about five minutes each would give ample supporting evidence of the proposition.
What an idea lol.
At least it would enable the sovcits to see what a magic get out of jail free card actually looks like from the front row.
Sure, but who's gonna bankroll it? Certainly the sovcits themselves aren't chipping in. At that point you're what, just suing the credit card companies for funsies?
Seeing as sovcits choose to self-represent in court proceedings, I doubt they trust lawyers. Also, I can't imagine a lawyer accepting 1099a "payments" from a magical, secret bank account.
I mean, if there were a serious prospect of winning it would pay for itself. Unfortunately it would probably involve the Supreme Court paying for itself.
Not to mention, as a lawyer you’d get disbarred for such a ridiculous suit. Using anti-law against actual law? Kaboom - they’d have doubts about your abilities to practice legally.
Given you can sue for anything, yes. As to if you would win? I am sadly not a lawyer.
I'm guessing that pretty much no one would be allowed to beat a credit card company in court, it would open too big a can of worms.
Allowed to beat them? Yes. Will they have a dozen lawyers from the most expensive firm they can find? Also yes.
Corporations always have an extensive legal team which is why lawsuits rarely work against the wealthy.
