Florida Loyalty Oath Argument Rejected
Posted on Friday, 26 of September , 2008 at 1:33 pm
TALLAHASSEE, FLA—In an expected decision, the Florida Supreme Court has slammed the door shut on arguments proffered by attorney Montgomery Blair Sibley of Washington, DC that the justices themselves are without authority to act because they have failed to comply with the law and failed to properly file written loyalty oaths when they assumed office.
Sibley was suspended from the practice of law in Florida for three years by the Florida Supreme Court in April after a lower court determined that Sibley owed child support of $100,000. He was found in contempt of court for refusing to pay and additionally, was found to have filed myriad court proceedings that lacked merit.
Sibley had been joined in his challenge of the authority of the Court to make any decisions by Coral Gables attorney Jack Thompson whom the court has just permanently disbarred.
It’s not surprising that the Supremes have decided that they have acted legally in the case brought against themselves and even if they didn’t, claim they are de facto officers and don’t have to comply with the law.
