My Post Civil War American History professor told us that the enemy pilots used to wave to each other as they flew past each other. Then one day some asshole pulled out his revolver and shot the guy waving at him, and that’s when they started mounting guns on airplanes.
Waving at each other just shows how fucked up society was at the time:
“Sure, you’re spotting for the artillery that’ll kill hundreds of my countrymen, but they’re only peasants. Us two, we’re nobles.”
The judge would never say that, anyway. Nearly everyone has a right to represent themselves, although she might have been implying that SovCit was not mentally competent enough to be allowed to do so.
SovCit insisted they weren’t the defendant, but was their representative; judge played along and refused to let this non-defendant represent the actual defendant as they are not an attorney.
Either agree you are actually the defendant, or come back as a licensed attorney. In the mean time, the court can assume the defendant hasn’t/wont appear and proceed accordingly. (default judgement, bench warrant, or whatever else is applicable to this case)
I know a guy that dug a 28 foot hole. The feds got involved but couldn’t find anything actually to charge him for since it was only 28ft deep. That hole is still there.
Engineers also discovered, as they plowed past the first 14,800 feet (4,511 meters), that the rock had much more porosity and permeability. That, paired with the extremely high temperatures, made the rock behave more like a plastic than a solid, rendering drilling virtually impossible.
