‘You don’t have the power to conduct law from the bench’: So-called sovereign citizen again

- SPOKANE, Wash - A Stevens County man accused of aiding in the kidnapping of a child in foster care again told a Spokane judge Thursday that he doesn’t recognize Washington law.
Police say Howard Padden pretended to be a lawyer and intimidated a Spokane foster family into handing over a child to her biological parents.
The child’s father is accused of assaulting her.
Police say Padden handed the family fake documents and said if they didn’t comply, they would be deported and even executed for treason.
Through several court appearances in Spokane, Padden has made it clear he doesn’t recognize the U.S. Constitution.
Padden says he’s the chief justice and the postmaster and judges and police have no power over him.
When he first appeared in court, Commissioner John Stine told him, “Save it for somebody else who’s stupid.”
Back in court Thursday before a different judge, Padden refused to cooperate with the process.
“I will not enter a plea,” Padden told the judge. “I will not step down to your jurisdiction.”
Judge John Cooney was trying to determine if Padden could represent himself or should be appointed an attorney.
Padden said he wanted his own counsel and refused to enter a plea, saying “no comment” to the charges against him.
“You don’t have the power, sir,” Padden told the judge. “For the record, you don’t have the power to conduct law from the bench.”
Cooney then told Padden he was there to make sure his rights were preserved, prompting Padden to say, “I do not have constitutional rights, I have God-given unalienable rights.”
Padden remains in jail as the charges are pursued against him.
He also faces 32 counts of intimidating a public witness in Stevens County.
In that case, prosecutors say he threatened to seize property from elected officials if they tried to make him pay his taxes.

They are given the gift of the right to be silent. And it is a shame that they never use it.
Nobody gives us rights. We are born with rights. Your silly fairy tale of some men having the authority to give or take rights from other men is just as ridiculous and dangerous as the beliefs of this Sovereign Citizen.
so let's say someone remains silent all thru the whole thing to police to jail to attorney in court ,etc then what?
@@Corinthians-kjv Court proceeds. "Not Guilty" is your default plea. You are never required to testify.
@@Corinthians-kjv Then what? That depends on the evidence on both sides. The judge or jury will rules if they are guilt or not.
@@frankw7091
Then it goes to trial and it is up to the judge or jury in that trial to determine if they are guilty or not .
The level of delusion in these Sovereign Citizens, is scary.
Maybe your deluted?
He was ACCUSED of being a "sovereign citizen" but he is actually claiming to be an "American national" - learn the difference!
8 U.S. Code § 1408 - Nationals but not citizens of the United States at birth
@@jandrefelix3577 LMAO! Nice try Troll!
Hey dummy, it doesn't matter what they call themselves, they are still delusional idiots who think they are above the laws, and are proven wrong every single time!
@@-WhizzBang- So it's trolling by showing you that the official US Code recognizes American National status?
@@jandrefelix3577 Hey dummy, once again, yes, US code recognizes US National status, but the laws still apply . What is your point? It has nothing to do with what is going on in this video, which is an idiot acting like a sovereign citizen because he thinks the laws don't apply to him.
Yes you're trolling because you're trying to start an argument when you have no argument.. Move a long kid.....
Padden (shaking the bars of his cell) - "I am not in jail".
Remember that old Andy Griffith episode where Barney is jailed and Otis staggers in and sees Barney in the cell? "Barney's not in jail; I'm not in jail. I must be in the Twilight Zone!"
Who is wearing the black robe and who is wearing the yellow jumpsuit? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Criminals wear black robes to trick mindless sheep like you into believing they’re righteous, moral, dignified and honorable, when nothing could be further from reality.
Sure looks like they have jurisdiction over you 🤔
How?? By keeping on changing judges on him cause they can't get shit done?
@@jandrefelix3577 Probably judges tired of their nonsense and wasting their time so they just return the favor and keep rotating out judges or something.
@@jandrefelix3577 because they are in their custody. jurisdiction is by where you are. You can not avoid being in someone's jurisdiction by magic words. That's why every actually legally trained person looks like you are crazy when you ask this question. Its obvious and self evident. No I am sure whatever conman sold you these silly ideas made it sound so magical, but its not. Law is simple to those who have half a brain to understand it.
@@chickenandpizza2483 That and you have no right to the same judge. Generally it annoys the judge more to get rotated in on an active case, but that's it. Happens all the time and there is zero significance. Trials are administered using a process of civil procedure and reading the case files and speaking to the clerks working the case is all a judge needs to handle an already in progress case. See these sovcits seem to think there is some midevil lord of the land type thing with judges, when its simply a well informed person in the law, with education who is able to run a court.
When are judges going to stand up to these clowns and tell them to be silent when the judge is talking?
Lol. Maybe to sheeple they are kings. To rest of the people they are the same humans.
In my best Cartman voice, “obey my authori-Tie”
Judges who act like shitbags enable actual criminals to go free. A judge who protects the rights of the defendant to the utmost and secures a conviction anyway is doing his job.
@@rightsdontcomewithpermits7073
…the *worst humans.
@@allemander thanks for the correction!
If a person claims to be a sovereign citizen, Send them off to the other side And let him proclaim that there😂
I once heard something from some customs and border enforcement (Or whatever they call themselves these days) that once in a while they'll do a regular stop and some sovereign citizen tries their B.S. and they are deported to some other country because they claim not to be citizens of the U.S.
Do I know if it actually happens?
Nope.
Would it surprise me if it does happen?
Nope.
Does the mental image of some dude being sent into Panama on a shuttle from DHS and having to figure out what to do now that he is essentially abandoned in a whole ass other country with no ID and no money because he decided that U.S. laws didn't apply to him amuse me?
Absolutely.
You gotta give the SovCits credit for their commitment...their shit never works but they never give up.
Thats called insanity
It's also indicative of tRumpism. Never admit you're wrong, even when every sane person KNOWS you're wrong. 😅
Well I guess he can stay in jail then until he decides to plea.
I wish that were true. But in all the cases I've seen, the judges just enter a not guilty plea and move along.
Eh, that would eventually become an 8th amendment problem. (Yes, even SovCits have rights whether they like them or not)
I have always wanted to hit them with contempt charges if they try to obstruct the court process - but then you'd have them serving YEARS without being brought on their original crime, and they'd easily claim that the contempt charges are 'retaliatory'.
I hear China does things your way. Why don't you move there?
@@snex000 Bait.
Gotta love the "Postmaster" angle.
Old fool
I think he should call himself "Postmaster Captain Crunch".
I need to file a complaint with him about the poor service from my local post office
A lot of their stuff makes sense in that they claim titles that would have authority and power if their nonsense was true. What does being post master get you? It just seems Ike a really weird one to go for.
I'd have asked for a stamp.
That's exactly what judges are supposed to do; conduct (and practice ) law from the bench.
The judge apparently doesn't have the power to conduct law... What's the judge's job then?
To terrorize and pretend to possess the right to rule, accomplishing said goal only through the use of unjust force, violence, threats, coercion, deceit, manipulation, fraud and general criminal immorality.
This guy is in desperate need of a psych eval. He's obviously completely detached from reality, and requires serious anti-hallucinogens.
BS, claims not to be a citizen, off to GITMO bye bye......
It always comes down to taxes
It always comes down to some people thinking they can ignore the law.
Insanity
HEY Old Man did you forget your medication again ? sure looks like it .😁😂
He must be a GOP. No respect for the actual law... Only when it suits him.
@Johnny Scissorhands nope.. Not true. I wish it was... Blue means change and that isn't what people want or are ready for. We need to evolve and we can't. We are being held back so we can stay in the same rat race. We have a bunch of people bitching that they want the system to change but they keep the same kind of people running the system. They want the system to improve but refuse to look at the base of the problem. Blue wants to change lives to make the system work, but red wants blue to look unsuccessful. (Blue costs the corporations who back red more in taxes.) Do I think blue is faultless? No. But I think red is uneducated, immoral, and nasty on the inside. I have disowned the family that voted for Donald Trump. When I pointed out his connections to communism, my grandmother and I stopped speaking. The Republicans have an issue now... Liberalism in general is awake because of their stupidity. They are aware of the gerrymandering because the GOP didn't realize we would be watching. Have you seen how quickly the cities filled with so many liberals, we had the popular votes to outnumber the electoral college in any election you have thrown at us in 30 years. Sounds like the Dems need to work on the electoral college a bit. We need the numbers to match. I'm tired of the minority thinking they get to run the show. The majority of the country isn't this stupid.
He is correct judge cannot practice law from the bench....
lol, bet he's got a "don't tread on me" flag. they have no problem "dictating" their own self-appointed power... maybe a civics class would be helpful.
or a good foot to the ass, and telling them to act right.
Bad news Howie, the judge and court does indeed have jurisdiction.
Did you say postmaster? Well then my apologies your majesty. No laws apply to you.
Tell him you want to by a stamp right now.
I've heard that record and it won't play
Send this man back to 1776
Well he would be under the UK crown then. You folks do understand that first failed government of the USA started November 15, 1777 and its Articles of Confederation came into force on March 1, 1781. It was replaced and ALL laws of the prior abolished by the constitution on On Saturday, September 13, 1788, the Confederation Congress voted the resolve to implement the new Constitution, and on Monday, September 15 published an announcement that the new Constitution had been ratified by the necessary nine states, set the first Wednesday in January 1789 for appointing electors, set the first Wednesday in February 1789 for the presidential electors to meet and vote for a new president, and set the first Wednesday of March 1789 as the day "for commencing proceedings" under the new Constitution. All laws and structure under the Articles of Confederation stopped being law and became history.
Hey thats my attorney handling my long lost Nigerian Prince relatives 80 million dollars case!

How do you explain that this report if from the state of Washington?
Yeah, I got him trumped, I put my own face on the $100 bill I am the Secretary General of the Federal Reserve Board
Sov Cits are always fun but a 1 minute news clip doesn't do it justice
Coocoo for Cocoa Puffs
I see that RUclips backs this movement. Sovereign citizen, they put info in the video.
lol info as in "look here is a way to make your case much much worse". lol seriously, these sovcits don't get its a scam.
There is a lot of brain Damage in this one !!
Well if he’s sovereign then why is he on US SOIL!
@sailawaymobile Nor do you, apparently.
He played many a role well into overtime. This tends to act up when senility, dementia, pardoned crime, and guilt cross the stage.
No... This is the far right. This is the epitome of Trumper. This is quite literally the path of our country. Anyone who votes republican boosts this mentality.
His respect for the law is no different than GOP politicians.
Right? Where is his family?
@@ivoted-5489 ya' know, I never paid attention really. Videos tend to seek moments of desperation. One or two clips don't count.
Right, but his family should be preventing these embarrassing moments for the old man and trying to make his life more comfortable, as he is obviously impaired.
I know, I know….in a “perfect world”.
@@ivoted-5489 Just by the clip it is completely impossible to "judge" him guilty for anything. And so goes for the allegations and damaging paperwork presented by the court AND media. His family and/or friends not being there shines a bad light of suspicion in their direction not his. He seems pissed though. And the REALLY sick people out there pushing papers could easily score on his "obvious" DISadvantage...... IDK 🤷
Laugh all you want but I'm gonna see if this guy can give me a break on my income tax this year.
I'm sure he could but it wouldn't he legal lol.
Technically there is no such thing as a sovereign citizen. a person must choose one.
Sure there is. Government employees act above the law all the time and get away with it. If that's not a sovereign citizen, what is?
Correct... Master or slave....
@@DavyDoo69 most will choose slave. I'm wide awake. I'm the Master.
@@PosterityOf1776 lol
@@snex000 ; No such thing as a Sov-Citizen, there is no dictionary that has a definition for Sov-Citizen, except for wiki.... Sovereign citizen is an oxymoron... Sovereign = King = Master = Highest Authority... Citizen = Subject too = beneath = Slave to the Higher Authority.... That is what it is... Government employees are supposably the servants to the Sovereign People, as in "We the People" the "Sovereigns"...
You can rent these nazis online.
Only in America 🤦🏻♂️
Nope it happens all over the world.... The more you know🌈...
Maybe he's a former police officer. They're sovereign citizens, too.
This is how to stop government overreach.....also defund the government!!!!
You are strong like ox. Unfortunately, smart like ox too.
@@arthurunknown8972 Also like ox, they are good at pulling plow and full of bullsh!t 😂
agreed with him......the system is a joke.
The system is protecting his rights, since he won’t enter a plea then the judge, according to the law, must enter a plea of not guilty so that he can have a fair hearing in a court, that is protecting his rights. The charges though are not trivial, if he was a man he would face up to these charges, he is being obstructive and thinks he is above the law, only democrats in the whitehouse seem to have that privilege.
your name says it all
Lucky you!...You have the option to leave .."The System"...at any time of your choosing!
The way the USA is going I wouldn’t be surprised if this is a more common thing in 10-20 years where it’s just people versus the government and we refuse to participate in their systems
Lol good luck with that nonsense. It literally never works.
@@jakewhoskate you mean good luck to all the poor bastards still living in the USA lmao
Its not "their systems" its our systems, with clowns who think the world owes them something, they shouldnt have to pay for the services they use. It always fails very humorously most of the time. Seems like we have a lot of nutjobs currently who some how think they are privaleged and shouldnt be required to pay a fair share, seems like a lot of them are finding out differently daily.
@@tomr3422 what
@@wicked3564 Good luck with that? (lol) Regardless of whether you choose to "not to participate in [the Government's] systems" (or not), you are still subject to the laws of the land.

So-called sovereign citizen? We The People are the "sovereign" ones not the state or the police. Just My thoughts...
So what. No matter what you call yourself or who you believe you are, what ideology you follow it doesn't matter. Everyone is subject to the law equally. Everyone.
@@frankw7091 Everyone? Do you honestly believe that? Look at the rich the famous and the politicians in power then honestly tell me, yourself and others that you truly believe that we are all treated equally under the law? Have you seen the crime riddled cities were the prosecutors refuse to criminally charge these thugs? You can't be that naive can you? Just My Thoughts...
@@robertsride1498 Yes everyone. Do you honestly believes that it doesn't? IF you do, you need a basic lesson in US civics. In any case, mindless sovereign citizens are subject to the law, just like everyone else.
@@frankw7091 The only people who are sovereign in the United States are government officials and law enforcement the average American person is not sovereign and they're not immune from anything especially criminal prosecution. You are one ignorant or delusional person if you think or believe the law applies to every person in this country equally. There are the protected class and there are the common people like you and me we are the common people whether you believe it or not is irrelevant that's just the way it is. Money power and position give you access to things the average American will not have access to that is reality doesn't matter if you agree with that or not it's still a fact. Just My Thoughts...
@@robertsride1498 No one in the United States is immune from the law. Individual in congress are immune from arrest while in session but not immune from any crimes they commit.
It doesn't matter if someone calls themselves sovereign or what ever else they think. They are subject to the laws like everyone else.
If this happened in Chicago the defendant would be able to walk out of court.

@@allemander Yes as to the definition. War is usually State violence and the Country seems to have more than enough of those ...
Nope.
I'm not sure what the sovereign citizen stuff is all about, but the judge doesn't have the authority or right to enter a plea if he doesn't have power of attorney or hasn't been appointed assistance of counsel, and that judge is to remain impartial pursuant to his oath.
100% correct. !!
Incorrect, the judge may enter a plea of not guilty. It can then proceed to trial where his guilt would have to be proven since he is assumed innocent. It prevents people like this making a mockery of the legal system with their nonsense. If what you said was correct, no one would ever enter a plea so they could then not be held accountable for their actions.
Umm, wrong. The judge absolutely can enter a not guilty plea for the defendant if the defendant refuses to plead. Or do you suggest that every criminal can just refuse to make a plea and escape ever being tried or sentenced for their crimes?
@@henry1745 What if the court lacks in personam and subject matter jurisdiction, say, with a defective complaint or a service of process?
@@mrsentinel4911 At this point it doesn't matter because it's an arraignment. He could make those arguments at the pretrial hearings or at the trial. Though the burden of proof isn't that high. He would then have to provide something substantial to counter the evidence the prosecutor provides concerning jurisdiction.
