As a lawyer, I must say this is one of the better pro se litigants I have seen. Stuck to common sense and plain English, didn't try to put on an act, but also alerted the Court to certain cases he says are favorable to his cause. It's a good recipe
For people talking about the excessive questions -- this is common and expected, for lawyers and pro se litigants alike. This is an appellate court, not a trial court. Therefore, the focus is (generally speaking) on the _law_ , not the _facts_ . You should expect, when you are before a higher court, to be grilled with questions, because they are really trying to get to the nitty gritty legal implications of the case. They will ask you "What about this case ___ , and what about that case"; they will ask you "But isn't your case different than that case, because of XYZ? And isn't your case more like this case ___ because of ABC?" "What about this statute?" "Why do you think this language ___ means this?" It's not bullying, and it's not because he's a pro se litigant, this is just a function of what appellate courts do. They are inquiring, it's not like the trial court where it is on the parties to present the evidence and the judge just sits there as a referee.
Doesn't mean you will always get a lot of questions. Some cases (or at least the argument) is relatively straightforward and doesn't require it. But lots of questions should usually be expected. You go in there with a big speech prepared and you just end up answering questions the whole time.
I did my best to answer and move back to my wheelhouse 😅
🙏
🙏
I'm guessing all the questions were due to the fact that it can set a precedent on record.
Is that any court of record? Or just certain higher courts or certain jurisdictions?
For example, could a case from a county court(or the "common law" version) be cited in a federal court, or vice versa?
It's a court of record. Fantastic question!
best news all week, a normal person wins against the corrupt machine. GOOD ON YOU, WELL DONE. steven
Thanks my friend. And I'm not done. I'm going to help others and right wrongs. Www.SelfLegalAid.com
These judge are so courteous and attentive to this man's arguments. Great job to the judges! and great job to the pro se litigator!
Thank you!
Rogue nation just shared this. I wish more would've came to the OP. GREAT JOB winning your pro se fight!
I'm grateful for any shares. Thank you so much for looking out!
Much respect, the man sticking to big corporation . Key fact is the bank should have never entered a fraudulent code in the credit system . Should have filed for damages on that fact
I did, years ago, but the system lied, so I ended up just finding a way to say FU to them with the website 😅
banks lawyer opening "this is a blackmail case".... skipping over he was the one doing the blackmailing first by getting the customer blackballed
The abusers never acknowledge their own behavior 😅
Great job, Mr Riddle!
They tried to blackball you. You caught them. You give it back, and boy, did they underestimate you!
Sometimes the truth will come out, as long as you push hard enough to force it!
Thank you for the kind words!
So the Bank gets petty with him and screws him out of a home loan…. The guy figures out a way to screw with them and get a payment on top of that ITS POETIC JUSTICE 😂😂😂😂
@@craig5923 technically, all I got was this video and a website😅
They chose to let me keep it.
@ThePro-Se
@AUSTIN-ss2zd Thank you!
A bank saying they’re being blackmailed is oh, so precious.
The great part is that they weren't even saying that they were being blackmailed, they said it was cybersquatting. They could have sued me for blackmail if they wanted, but it wouldn't have worked either all they wanted was the website. 😅

I love how Judge Cassle was smiling... it was like he was proud of his own son standing up to fight Goliath
The Supreme Court was the only fair Court I've dealt with, even now. They treated me fairly.
@@ThePro-SeDo you think it's the panel of judges, the theoretically fair exchange of ideas, that gave you the fair experience?
Not necessarily. I think it's that, and the public forum and the fact that I had an unimpeachable documented history of lies and avoiding by everyone else in the state.
"...If you're not in the club..." Wow, that was impressive. Well done
Thank you! I tried to be clear
@@ThePro-Se By the club you best be thinking the 32-33 club. freemasonry. id be surprised if most of them were not in that club one way or another. Also would be totally surprised if the gender they are portraying is actually the gender they were born with, Simple analysis of their skulls despite facial hair and makeup will tell the truth as the what gender they truly are. Run into lots of these satanic lizards in high level military govt police and religion. Facts!!!!!
This was fucking awesome. Congratulations, this takes quite the courage!
Only until they have beaten you down. Then, it just takes the desire to not let it happen to anyone else.
That's why I am doing what I do. My original case was so easy, it was complete bias against self represented individuals and my case means nothing compared to people who get similarly railroaded in criminal cases.
Good job and congrats!
@@ChuckWood thank you! Please share and subscribe!
I had a local judge here refuse to let me present my case because I was reading from my papers. She said, "you don't need to read, look up and look at me". I questioned her and she just repeated herself. She was so corrupt it was insane.
Check out the transcript from my hearing on the 1st.
5 different AI asked the same basic question without any bias.
poe.com/s/tnAwXgZDcoBng97twqnk
"Under the ACPA, we conclude that the district court erred in granting judgment against the Riddles for cybersquatting. The judgment of the district court is hereby reversed, its injunction is vacated, and the action is dismissed. Reversed, injunction vacated, and dismissed."
Should I post that in the description?
@@ThePro-SeYES. Multiple people have commented on the outcome and you have said in several places that it’s in the description, but all you say is that you “won.” Please post the text of their ruling, even better, make a follow-up video. It was fascinating to watch this entire proceeding and impressive how well you argued it, but it leaves the story feeling very unfinished.
I looked, it's kind of blended in because it's the first thing. I'll see if I can fit the whole opinion in there. 😁
As soon as the lawyer put his hand on head they knew he was on the back foot against this intelligent guy!!. The judges were clearly checking this guys knowledge but he was right on the ball!
🙏🙏❤️I was super prepared and tried to stay focused on getting the story out. It was more than just technicalities that I needed to make sure people saw the truth, even if I lost.
Imagine being the attorney that LOST an action in State of Nebraska Supreme Court against a pro-se litigant. Ouchie....
@@gynat5968 it was an anomaly. Typically the law doesn't matter when you represent yourself.
And you know he’s getting paid at least a few hundred thousand dollars a year.
@jool4867 That guy only looks like a pathetic washed out attorney. He's probably banking half a mil or more. He has some ownership stake in CharterWest or something along those lines, but most of his work is from Allied, and I think he's the President.
That being said, money can't always buy the win.
The argument from the Charter West is "We hurt him, and now he has the audacity to try and hurt us"
😅🤣
This is EXACTLY what Americans needed. We are here to rally the troops!
Thank you! By joining me, you are ensuring everyone gets treated properly!
Thanks!
Here is the final Ruling in case anyone else cant be bothered to read the court findings document:
"Because we have determined that Charter West failed to produce evidence showing it was entitled to protection under the ACPA, we conclude that the district court erred in granting judgment against the Riddles for cybersquatting. The judgment of the district court is hereby reversed, its injunction is vacated, and the action is dismissed."
Thanks 😅
thank you
I read the findings of the court, and you could hear in the judges questioning of the bank's lawyer they were leaning in this direction from the start. This guy should have been a lawyer with how he was able to find the gap in the defense the bank left.
I would love if you shared and subscribed. I may not be a lawyer, but I am trying to protect the little people from the system. Stay tuned❤
It's interesting to see the opposition, an experienced licensed attorney, is visibly much more flustered than the pro se litigant.
I was really prepared and he probably hadn't looked at it in months
Good for you! More of us need to stand up to the banks for whatever crime they are committing. We should all learn the law.
At a minimum, the people slated to uphold the law, should protect our interests.
My videos prove they are actively engaging in the unethical and illegal behavior.
@@ThePro-Se they have robbed the people blind. While double dipping at every turn.
And the worst part, the government officials are complicit. That's why I lost until the Supreme Court.
@@ThePro-Se most of them believe we work for them and are under them, I agree with that. They need reminding that we stand over them. But we have to learn. Most people don’t even know what the constitution says…
I know the law little bit gathered most of the evidence but need motion to compel with FOILs alot of evidence was covered up already and retired people to cover there tracks very unique case worth justice!
IMHO...CharterWest just destroyed themselves... i wouldnt even consider doing business with this financial institution... 😂 bravo plaintiff...🎉🎉🎉
That was the goal. They screwed us, but I don't want others to experience the same.
Im an old Nebraska boy... my ancestors planted their roots in West Point... im from the western panhandle, UNL grad. Live elsewhere now but i most definitely understand the small town rural farming agribusiness banking atmosphere edemic to these communities...even Sarpy County with the big city goings on see things much the same...Folks looking to borrow ...farm loans, home loans... car loans ...business loans... will easily recognize the harm to their reputation this entity did to themselves... So why not just fix the glitch when it was small and containable? ...and compensate your damages?... easy and no one knows... no one cares...duh... Now its embarassing to see it broadcast through the heavans for eternity... a major pr failure on their part. Imho.🫡
So you definitely know who CharterWest is😂😅
@ProSe is a badass. Proud of you Sir. Thx for this. ✌🏻
Thanks for the kind words! It's for us all.
The handle @ThePro-Se.
👊👊
Well done! Banks are fictitious entity are not human and can't possibly have injury or damages and assert any presumptions of injuries. What a loser for a lawyer. 😂😂😂😂😂
I feel like they should've addressed the legitimacy of the emails as admissible evidence much sooner. This was a very interesting listen though. Thank you
Woohoooo!!!! He makes up pro se litigants look GREAT 👍🏾

It's funny to see a lawyer seemingly argue that a disclaimer doesn't disclaim.
Yeah, cause who would believe something that says "We're NOT CharterWest Bank" 🤣🤣🤣
@@ThePro-Se According to the other attorney, just for a minute, CharterWest Bank would have that very disclaimer lol
@@charleswesesky747 😅
1st, congrats, well done!!! Much respect for your persistence and hard work. 2nd) People complaining about not knowing the outcome should do a little homework (as others here have) and you can read the Supreme Court's decision. It took 5 min to find and 2 min to read the summarization and another 2 to skim the decision as written by the court. This video isn't a TV show.
♥️
It’s amazing how gracious and understanding the justices were to the Pro Se. (Not being facetious). They were very cool.
I totally agree. I think people are a little annoyed that they stopped me a few times, but realistically, it was a good thing, because I knew they were engaged.
Every judge and justice of the lower court, and 8th circuit, didn't ask anything because they already had their backroom meeting and decided I was the loser.
That being said, I made sure to get everything in that I needed to. 😅
@@ThePro-SeYou did a great job!!! I
Thank you! Please subscribe and share
Most courts will be, as long as the pro se litigant shows sincere actions towards learning what they need to do to represent themselves, and in a professional manner, as a licensed attorney would.
The lower courts definitely didn't follow the law. They are threatened by a savvy Pro se
How is CharterWest doing this and worse; how can the Federal district court not see the injustice?
That's the question, my friend.
even if he had actually bought the domain for malicious reasons and for no other reason, if he obtained it fairly and the company didn't already own it, there is no societal argument in favor of the bank and against the free citizen that should allow the government to force the citizen to hand-over his property to this private company... absolutely insane that it's even written into law that they might have to under any circumstance with the previous facts held.
Trust me when I say, the law never mattered until this hearing. Every other judge or panel that reviewed it completely ignored the facts
This is amazing. Whats BS is that it even had to go to the Supreme Court of Nebraska.
Whats wrong with the lower court judges?
They are biased and liars. I can say that with certainty because I've dealt with them many times now.
In my opinion all US courts are exponentially biased and there to help corporations (Including US Government) extort moneys out of The public not to enforce any laws; as they will us precedent (even is faulty) to adapt their only and original mission.
Wait until you see what I post this week. It's exactly that. With game changing evidence
The end result of the decision is that Charter West lost their claim that this m an was cybersquatting. Another example of a corporation refusing to do the right thing and then
going to the mat to crush the little guy.
Exactly
If you close your eyes and listen to justice Cassel speak….am I the only one who thinks he sounds like Kevin from the office?
@@kneuberger, 😂😂😂 I can totally see that.
Why did this court basically highjack the guys time with explanations to the audience? It's like they wanted to prevent him from delving too deeply before them into the unfair tactics of the corporation. PS I would suggest never have anything to do with Charter West. From the lawyers arguments, you know it is a rip off company with low morale values and a conman's ethics.
Technically, I tried to put everything in there that was unrelated, and it would have been stopped by the Court if I was an attorney. 😅😅😅
I wanted to make sure the whole story got told, win lose or draw.
That way everyone could see what actually happened, not just that I bought www.charterwestbank.com 😅
When the courts travel to law schools for cases, it is common for them to do this so the law students can fully grasp what is going on.
If you notice the lights beside the speaker’s podium, the time limit expired on both litigants but the court kept going.
While this is a fully legal proceeding, it’s for the benefit of the students so there’s not nearly as stringent of timeframes.
True
wonderful.
Many thanks!
Mr. Silver looks and talks so much like actor Richard Schiff from the West Wing it's uncanny. Interesting case for sure.
Sounds like the bully bank picked the wrong victim and got a nose bleed 😂
Broken 😅
So basically, Charter West Bank's and Mr. Silver's argument boils down to this:
We do not understand how technology works.
We do not understand how website redirection works.
We do not understand how search engines work.
We do not understand how gripe sites work.
We do not understand what "commercial purposes" means.
Edit to Add:
Mr. Riddle, your arguments were fantastic. Well done.
@@jakeballamis6348 Thank you! The bank also didn't understand the barrier one person who says "No More!" can be.
@@ThePro-Se, right?
I've never attempted a civil action pro se before, but I have kicked a few DA's asses in court on a couple of illegal arrests pro se. I'm gearing up to file a 1983 suit in the most recent one against a city and its police department and the arresting officers. Not going to try to do that one by myself, though.
@@ThePro-Se, also, I did read the full ruling of the Court as I was watching your argument. Solid. And a solid logic by the Court, even on the couple of conclusions that didn't go your way.
Civil Plaintiff is so much different than criminal defense. I've come to find that the Court goes out of their way to dismiss early and often on pro se civil suits.
@@ThePro-Se, yeah, criminal defense can be much less complicated (mine were only misdemeanor charges) because the defense doesn't actually have to do anything. The burden is 100% on the prosecution. But, like you said, after having my rights violated yet again, I said no more. Prosecution didn't include surveillance or BWC in discovery nor did they call the actual arresting officer as a witness. I had multiple angles of the entire thing with audio that I didn't have to disclose because it was purely rebuttal evidence. They didn't stand a chance.
It's really interesting to see the observers in the back of the court go from bored to intently staring at silver with a "This guy is full of crap!" Look. 😂
Agreed 🤣
The WIN in it’s self is worth a subscription.
❤️
@@ThePro-Se it’s the truth and the least we can do.
If you can share to help get me to 500,i think visibility goes up👊👊
The judges definitely could have eased up a bit in their questioning of the litigant, but regardless, good job. Also for the bank's attorney: coming to court with no documentation of losses or potential loss when that's a required element? Like.. nothing? Jesus, bring in a media or PR expert to testify as the impact to typical businesses, build a foundation. Also, relying on a customer being confused when it literally says it isn't their site...
Whether or not anyone agrees with the law or judges on this, the bank's attorney clearly didn't take this seriously and showed up having done little to no legwork and not having the bank's arguments worked out. Maybe they should be hiring the pro se litigant.
It was a LOT of work 😂😂😂
Now I know why they charge so much, but underestimating me was a mistake.
Check out alphonse faggiolo. Can charge the cpurts for going pro se, sincr youre not a lawyer, it takes much more tine and rrsearch for us as pro se to be prepared. Hes figured it out. Get paid Mr! Lol
He didn't need any documents since it's not his appeal, all the evidence are in the record as adjudicated. They are certified and axiomatic principals to the case now since judges already ruled on the cases already, he didn't have to bring new evidence. He is extrapolating damages as his conjectures based on what was said.
Qqqqqqqeee🎉😢 thef
Ty
Silver's demise really began at 18:47 when Cassel pointed out a major contradiction. You can't maintain that Riddle should be allowed to run a website under the domain ihatecharterwest but also not be able to run any website containing the name charterwest.
Watching that felt like watching a chessmaster set up checkmate.
As soon as he said that, I knew I didn't even have to bring it up in my rebuttal 👊👊
holy snap he just slapped the supreme court justices in the face with truth of about our irrelevant legal system
I felt like if nothing else, that was necessary to get on record.
Win or lose, the fact that I was cheated and abused for so long needed to be out.

@@ThePro-SeIs revenge the object? What of the original concern of damages caused by Charter interfering with your ability to secure other financing?
I understand finally deciding to play hardball. Myself was forced into that by first defendant denying my claim, then after dropping their denial, their engaging in a continuum of petty games. So I got tough on them. Became very prepared after much research. And wiped them. But always was my goal as original; to be made whole..
Effectively, what happened was I see them twice and then appealed and everybody just basically cheated and lied, but then they sued me when I bought the website because I had no other recourse. The website was kind of my last ditch effort to punish them, and that's when they sued me, but that took almost 4 years because of covid and it's non-essential nature.
Now I'm going to hold the state accountable, who was involved back then and is involved now with what I'm doing.
They are the problem because they allow this behavior. And it's bad here in Nebraska
Holly shit Government is worthless. Charter West, CFPB, Department of Banking and Finance, the Fed Reserve, AttourneyGeneral, the Ombudsma, Lower Courts, and Appeals Court.
The Government is not worthless. Mr. Riddle is the government. The government's representative may be worthless. but Mr. Riddle proved his worth. The people are the government. It is the people's job to hold their representatives accountable.

Judges, lawyers, corporations, and citizens must remember there are two courts. The legal and the streets. If citizens feel that the legal courts, through nefarious legalese, is only there to protect the big corporations then they will ultimately resolve it in the court of the streets.

He wouldn't be able to answer that honestly without dismantling his "argument".
😂
They eventually got to the correct decision. See this from the case: This appeal turns on whether a bank's “mark” qualified for protection under the federal Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (ACPA).1 The bank claimed that a married couple threatened to use a website to “disseminate adverse information” unless the bank purchased it for $1 million. The district court issued a permanent injunction in the bank's favor. Because the ACPA required the bank to prove it owned a mark that was “distinctive” or “famous,” and it failed to do so, we reverse the district court's judgment, vacate its injunction, and dismiss the action.

Specifically, this the Nebraska Supreme Court holding a court session at the University of Nebraska Law School. This looks pretty clue.
It was at Creighton Law School.
I kind of felt like I got lucky in the sense that had it been in Lincoln at the Capitol, there probably would have been 5 people in the gallery, and all attorneys 😅
What does "this is pretty clue" mean in this context...? Ive never heard this term or phrase to describe a court hearing
It means "baller"
I've always felt like trying your own case would be better than an attorney, that is for relatively small things, like traffic because it's low effort. Any competent person can represent themselves on a small scale with ten minutes of google, this takes DAYS of research. I learned the hard way that lawyers have high caseloads and will not give as much attention to you as you'd need, then there's the lawyers that think y they know it all and will tell you "no you can't do that, no they'll never work, no" this that and a third, then i go do it myself successfully. no one has your best interest in mind more than yourself. I commend you.
The variable that makes it tough is that the opponent will have an attorney, and that attorney is in the club.
It's truly the biggest issue. No one, not a single agency in Nebraska, is honest or does their job.
Only one person over the years would have had to say "uh, no, they can't legally change the form". But, that was too much.
Not to mention those attorneys hire paralegals, and rely on them for the majority of the research and arguments.
We have paralegals now, called ai. And that's a game-changer. They hate it. LMFAO

I feel sorry for the lawyer. He's been given a loser of a case and he has to make try and make it work. The worst cases are arguing the ones you know are crap. He knows it is a 'gripe site'.
Judges did a good job of helping the pro se litigant. I don't think he understood half the questions he got were them trying to get him to bring out his best arguments.
Noting this appears to be the pro se's channel. Have you considered talking to the institute for justice. This seems to be their wheelhouse.
That attorney was the one I dealt with for 6 years. I met him in Court multiple times, and the system cheated for him. He knew exactly what he was getting into, he's like part owner of the bank and their only Attorney.

@@canadiankrispybacon I mean, I got the house in 2017 from a different lender. I bought the website at the same time. So, effectively, the only remaining dispute was the website.
@@ThePro-Secan Charter West refile an injunction lawsuit, this time proving evidence of a “distinctive mark” since those were the grounds for the reversal of the lower courts decision and the dismissal of the injunction? (They didn’t rule Charter West Bank wasn’t distinctive, only that it didn’t provide evidence of such in the trial record.)
I’m curious because this supreme court did not address the remaining merits of the case: the appellant’s argument against Charter West’s claims that the appellant was acting in bad faith and seeking to profit from the domain name due to their offer to sell and is therefore subject to protection ACPA, which as noted by this court, is the “crux” of this case.
@@Karen.Marie.24, I'm watching this video and have pulled up the ruling by the Court. Based on the facts of the case, it was Charger West Bank who, after the Riddles filed suit, made an offer to the Riddles to buy the domain name and the Riddles rejected it initially.
So far, I can't see anything that can legitimately be defined as "bad faith" by the Riddles. That's the real crux. As Mr. Riddle argued in his oral arguments, gripe websites are Constitutionally protected SO LONG as the content he added to the site was verifiably true; if it was not true, then by definition it's bad faith as both slander and libel are considered bad faith statements.
According to this record, it wasn't until AFTER Charter West Bank made a proffer to buy the domain name from the Riddles and the Riddles refused that Charter West Bank filed suit under ACPA. In other words, Charter West Bank tried, unprompted, to buy the domain name after the Riddles had bought the domain name and filed their own suit, and when that didn't work, filed its own suit and then tried to argue that because the Riddles' rejected Charter West Bank's proffer, the Riddles were trying to blackmail the bank.
That's not what happened.
There is absolutely nothing, at face value, that prevents a person from buying a domain name that someone else might want and putting their own content on it, and then selling it for whatever reason for whatever price (this *is* capitalism, after all); however, if Mr. Riddle had purchased www.charterwestbank.com and put defamatory statements on the site, and *HE* contacted Charter West Bank to tell them about it and that he would take it down if they paid him $1M, that would violate several laws, not just the ACPA. But the facts of the case do not support this conclusion based on what I've watched and read so far.
All that said, I could be completely wrong. I'm not an attorney, but I am in IT, have been a web administrator for the better part of 25 years, and am responsible for my division's domain names and records, so understanding most of this is in my professional wheelhouse.
@Karen.Marie.24 nope. That would be double jeopardy.
Plus, it's precedent now. Already used by others for citations
@ doesn’t double jeopardy only apply to criminal cases and not civil?
Great job! Thats not an easy thing to do.
Thank you! These Justices were collectively fantastic!
A breath of fresh air in a typically rigged system.
This guy is a genius by getting their domain name and it just goes to show that the little fish can take down the big fish in a fair and democratic hearing. Now as for the bank give him the million dollars and go away back into the hole you came from.
The funny thing is, and I indicated this in the argument, they did offer me a lot of money for the website.
I just felt like on principal they needed to feel the pain, and so a million dollars is what I desired.
I still own it, because they haven't conceded to that demand, and at this point, they're just willing to risk it. That's why I set up selflegalaid.com
It's on the backbone of charterwest Bank

Such an interesting case I enjoyed listening to the arguments. Im currently doing my own case also, but i incorporated my expertise in machine learning and using OpenAI Api on my local llm. Not only am I managing to point out systemic issues in my local community, ive managed to instruct my case to lose on purpose just to appeal to the Supreme court to point out bigger and issues of local judicial failures. 😂 I love being a pro se litigant... we have so much power.
you could have posted an image of a fishing charter boat on the website and said nothing and the bank could suck it :D
@@LionSleepsAnotherNight it's funny, cause back then, the first thing it said was "WE ARE NOT CHARTERWEST BANK. WE ARE EXPOSING THE CORRUPTION OF THE BANK AND THE FEDERAL RESERVE".
That's why I the judge pointed it out and the attorney was like "well, uh, yeah, but how will people know" 🤣

Your reputation is damaged meaning they would notice a slow down or no business. I would never go to them for a loan.
@@tomjackson4374 the best thing about this is, even though it took 7 years for people to truly know what happened, their business is now now being affected by this❤
The crazy part is they had every opportunity to fix it, but they didn't because they knew it was a sham in the first place that they did to harm us.
@@tomjackson4374 But, they can cite no actual damage now. The publicizing of this case---due to Charter West refuses to make this man whole will, ironically, harm
them more than a website would.
It only took me 7 years to get traction 🤣🤣😅 it was worth the wait.
The bank’s lawyer complaining that the guy was trying to damage the bank is rich. OK. Of course he does. And justifiably so. Your client damaged the couple and continued to do so until the couple spent how much time and money to force the bank to clear up their error? If they don’t like bad publicity, don’t do bad things.
Thank you. Wait until you see what's coming!
@@ThePro-Se That's what I was thinking... Especially since they never cleared up their lie/negligence/slander. btw, shout out to Brandon-Joe Williams aka ONESTUPIDFUCK for Sharing. Good Job my friend #ItTakesALLofUS

Odd that Justice Papik is an Associate Judge of the Nebraska Supreme court but had no other time as a judge in any court room. IMO you should have to earn a spot. I mean look at Justice Cassel who has been a judge for over 30 years in various levels.
Papik is Sharp. I've looked at some of his dissenting opinions and tend to agree with his logic.
Somebody tell the bank lawyer that this is not communist China…we can sell what we own whether it’s a car or a website…

To claim for damages, then effectively say “well the might be damage we aren’t aware of” when asked if it’s prospective damage or if it’s already occurred, was hilarious.

Look up the pruchase and the trademark registration of the town of Wenatchee Wa, back in the early 90s. A gental man noticed that the town had not secured the name throug legal terms, then he did it. Forcing the town to eithre change their name and remove the current name from all letter head and sings , as well every other thing like websites email ect.... or pur hace the trademark registration from him. He won the lawsuit and the town wound up having to buy it from him. Gives a whole new meaning to heads up ball.
Ouch!
So how does godaddy not run afoul of this act? They had the domain to begin with. They offered it for sale *to anyone*.
Privilege 😂
That's not how domain registrars work... They don't own all unregistered domains
@ ownership has nothing to do with this. “Selling” it is the problem.
@@chrisl4999 so then you still don't know how domain names are registered through registrars... Seriously, save yourself some embarrassment and just watch a 10 minute YT video explaining the absolute basics.
@@chrisl4999 exactly, except for when I offered it for sale, it was because I was trying to give them an opportunity to buy it as a settlement instead of me suing them for their wrongdoing. I thought I was being pretty polite

This is akin to the the pro se buying the building the bank was in because it was for sale and they didnt own the lease. He then says if you want it you can buy it but Im putting signs outside saying this business is bad on my property. Then the bank lawyer argues they are already there he cant buy the property. If anything the bank is squatting on his website name. They should change their name so not to infringe on his web property
I love your way of thinking.
It's funny too, because they were dumb enough not to have any registered mark.
@ThePro-Se thats business 101 too
I think a better analogh for me is you bought property and they think they are entitled to that property cause it looks the same.
If you want it. Buy it. Otherwise why not accuse godaddy of digital squating. They're selling the domain too.
Touche'😅🤔
The words commercial use, are open for debate because he wasnt selling it for someone to operate as another business, but more as one for a business to close. The act of selling doesn't constitute commercial use.
I dont believe the bank would operate that site commercially to gripe about it self.
Exactly
Oh that was heartwarming :)
That female judge with the glasses is very smart and fair.
Great job going pro se.
Can you tell me if pro se is possible in all courts? Or is it just courts of record? Or maybe just state courts and not possible in federal?
I'm from Ireland by the way, and curious about my own law system and philosophy of law, as a means to escape debt slavery in general. Though i must use American cases to learn the law, as information here is difficult to acquire and youtube suits my dyslexia and ADHD much better.
A bit of an aside here, about jurisdictions.
As soon as i saw the row of judges at the beginning, i looked for the flag. I saw immediately it did not have a gold fringe.
This confirms for me that it is a real common law court of record, and not an admiralty jurisdiction.
That's very interesting indeed. i wasn't sure if there were any courts of law left.
You may note how the chief justice(i think that was his title) later in the video makes that very distinction when you mentioned a federal policy, in a court of law.
i believe he was smiling, because federal policy might not have any standing in a court of law, aside from things like contract breach and such.
In the united states, you're definitely allowed to represent yourself in any Court. I honestly couldn't tell you about ireland, LOL
As a retired lawyer I have had to fight for several ppl for attempting that argument and thinking....it is patriot mythology and will get u in jail ...if u do some of the other tactics in this line of thinking...same.

If anyone I go after tries to sue me back, they are giving me the discovery they so desperately want to avoid. 😅
@@ThePro-Se Discovery is a term I'm only barely familiar with.
Discovery is the right or privilege to know who is after you and you get all their information that might pertain to that case?
There is a word of phrase I've heard also about "cause" or "cause of action". Maybe discovery is related to that?
To know the nature of the cause and everything related?
Thinks about it like this.
Say for example, you believe you were fired for emails that were sent in the office, but you can't see them because you don't have the authority. If you manage to get to discovery, you will find out if those emails exist.
Or if other things exist. Follow?
