It applies to all persons, citizen or alien, as well as to corporations." \ \ "In the Magna Carta [upon which the US Constitution is ultimately based], due process is referred to as "law of the land" and "legal judgment of peers." \ \ As such, the systematic and persistent violations of the due process and persecution of fathers in the US, has resulted in a national state of lawlessness under the color of law by the very people who are charged with upholding the law.\ \ \ The Meaning of the 4th of July to the Father in America.\ \ Below is an excerpt from the post by Glenn Sacks on 2 July, 2007\ \ Frederick Douglas\ \f1\b A speech given at Rochester, New York, July 5, 1852\ \ \f0\b0 \ \'d2What, to the American slave, is your 4th of July? I answer; a day that reveals to him, more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim. To him, your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty, an unholy license; your national greatness, swelling vanity; your sounds of rejoicing are empty and heartless; your denunciation of tyrants, brass fronted impudence; your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mockery; your prayers and hymns, your sermons and thanksgivings, with all your religious parade and solemnity, are, to Him, mere bombast, fraud, deception, impiety, and hypocrisy-a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages. There is not a nation on the earth guilty of practices more shocking and bloody than are the people of the United States, at this very hour. \'d2Go where you may, search where you will, roam through all the monarchies and despotisms of the Old World, travel through South America, search out every abuse, and when you have found the last, lay your facts by the side of the everyday practices of this nation, and you will say with me, that, for revolting barbarity and shameless hypocrisy, America reigns without a rival.\'d3\ \'d0from abolitionist Frederick Douglass\'d5 speech \'d2The Meaning of the 4th of July to the American Negro.\'d3\ \ \ \ I\'d5ve always been moved by abolitionist Frederick Douglass\'d5 speech \'d2The Meaning of the 4th of July to the American Negro.\'d3 I normally don\'d5t like analogies between slavery and the mistreatment of fathers in family court\'d0they are often made by the lunatic fringe of the movement, and I think they tend to discredit our cause more than to help it. However\'c9..\ \ When Douglass speaks of \'d2the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim,\'d3 well, he could be talking about any one of the multitudes of decent, loving fathers who have been driven out of the lives of the children who love them. These men must forfeit the most important thing in life\'d0one\'d5s children.\ \ When Douglass speaks of a \'d2sham\'d3 and \'d2unholy license,\'d3 one cannot help but be reminded of the sham justice which fathers often receive in family court, and the \'d2unholy license\'d3 with which courts intervene into, maintain control over, and sometimes destroy fathers\'d5 personal lives.\ \ Douglass\'d5 \'d2empty and heartless\'d3 also applies.\ \ When Douglass speaks of \'d2liberty and equality\'d3 being \'d2hollow mockery,\'d3 one thinks of our family law system\'d5s ludicrous pretense of gender neutrality.\ \ Douglass speaks of \'d2crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages.\'d3 Well, collaborating in the forcible separation of millions of loving fathers from their children would certainly qualify. \'d2Revolting barbarity and shameless hypocrisy\'d3 also fits.\ \ }
