From Dan:
Numerous people have requested Richard Cornforth's research on void judgments. To date, he hasn't posted anything comprehensive on the Net, and to the best of my knowledge, doesn't spend a great deal of time with Internet interchange. However, he has laid out plans for a book on the subject so it will possibly be available in the next several months.

In the meantime, Richard consented to write a short allegorical piece that conveys his interpretation of what the American people have been subjected to, and what he anticipates in the future.

COMING SNAKE, LITTLE WEASEL & SPARRING WREN

An Allegory of Things to Come
Twin brothers, Coming Snake and Little Weasel, and their sister Sparring Wren, were the products of the union of their Native American Mother and their father, a trapper of European decent. Their father was the first European that their tribe had ever seen and were it not for the generosity of the tribe he would have starved as a scandalous outcast of his own trapper peers.

Coming Snake, Little Weasel, and Sparring Wren were small when their mother died of a disease given to her by her European trapper spouse. The elders expelled the trapper rather than risk further disease victims within the tribe.

Although the tribe showed much generosity and nurturing, Coming Snake, Little Weasel, and Sparring Wren grew to maturity with a well-deserved reputation for mischief and mayhem. Their acts were often mean and for many years, their sustenance was theft and pilferage. To make matters worse, Coming Snake, Little Weasel, and Sparring Wren flaunted their evil practices as their birthright, claiming to be of a superior class engendered by their European father. When the tribal members could take no more, they petitioned the elders to expel them. Coming Snake, Little Weasel, and Sparring Wren asserted that their presumed class made them immune from the elders' justice.

The elders had had enough though and rejected the idea of a superior or protected class, expelled Coming Snake, Little Weasel, and Sparring Wren from the tribe. For many days they continued to straggle along behind the moving tribe, and being parasites, would pretend to be properly distant by light but at night would sneak into the tribe's camp to perpetrate their crimes.

One day Coming Snake, Little Weasel, and Sparring Wren awoke quite late, even later than was their lazy custom. Shocked, they looked about to see that the tribe had left them to fend for themselves. For the first time in their lives they were stripped of the imaginary cloaks which they thought protected them. "Where are those who must serve us? Where are our subjects? We demand the attentions and tributes of our subjects!"

Coming Snake, Little Weasel, and Sparring Wren spoke in succession but were answered by only the wind. For a while they walked but the heat of the sun made them very thirsty. Kneeling, Coming Snake, Little Weasel, and Sparring Wren dug into the earth with their bare hands hoping to discover enough water beneath the soil to quench their awful thirst. Finding no water, Coming Snake, Little Weasel, and Sparring Wren remained on hands and knees in exasperation. Suddenly they looked at one another curiously. There was movement in the ground they knelt on. Coming Snake stretched flat and pressed his ear to the ground. The meaning of the rumbling, shaking earth was unmistakable. Coming Snake sprang to his feet and ran to the top of a rise followed by Little Weasel and Sparring Wren. >From horizon to horizon, as far as they could see, was a thundering herd of bison now advancing on Coming Snake, Little Weasel, and Sparring Wren. A moment later the buffalo had trampled Coming Snake, Little Weasel, and Sparring Wren into oblivion.

Now there are those who believe that the Bison are no more and while it's true that perhaps as many as thirty million of these magnificent creatures were slaughtered by the greediest and vilest of the descendents of the Europeans, the herd survived and has been replenished.

Dear reader, you no doubt know that this story is meant to be allegorical, but what is the symbolism you may ask. Coming Snake and Little Weasel represent lawyers and judges with Sparring Wren being the administrative procedures of our so-called government. Other allusions incorporate the American Revolution, the founding fathers, anon; I shall not labor further explanation. But what does the thundering herd represent? Void Judgments!

I estimate that there may be as many as fifty million void judgments on file in America's courthouses. Judgments are void and subject to vacation if the record shows fraud, a jurisdictional failing, or inconsistency with due process. Generally, there is no statue of limitations on vacating void judgments!

What I'm telling you, my friend, and I'm not bothered if some say I'm evangelical in my approach, is that you or someone you know probably lost property or liberty as the result of a sham proceeding which can be vacated.

My sincerest apology to anyone who may be named, Coming Snake, Little Weasel, and Sparring Wren,

Richard Luke Cornforth
