Wait, it this a CHRISTIAN thing? I thought the sovereign citizen thing was a secular libertarian thing.
I think this particular person likes to flaunt religious status. Doesn’t seem like being a sovereign citizen is a religious thing
It has as much basis in fact as most religions do. It offers a faith-based legal defense to all those who try it, and I imagine it attracts the same sort of people who are attracted to that sort of irrational reasoning.
There's a lot of overlap. They're not directly connected, but the types of people who are likely to write about God in all caps all over their car are also the types who might have very unorthodox opinions about how the law works.
A lot of sovcits are Moorish Temple members too.
A whole lot of whackadoo can exit in the same person and come from all sorts of sources.
