COMES NOW the United States (hereinafter “Movant”) ex relatione Lonnie G. Schmidt, Citizen of ONE OF the United States of America, decorated combat veteran and Private Attorney General (hereinafter “Relator”) to move this honorable Court for intervention of right, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 2403(a), and to provide timely Notice to all interested parties of same, pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (“FRCP”) Rule 24(c) (United States not yet a party);  and Article III, Section 2, Clause 1 (“3:2:1”) in the Constitution for the United States of America (hereinafter “U.S. Constitution”).


NOTICE OF CHALLENGE TO CONSTITUTIONALITY

OF THE ACT OF JUNE 25, 1948, 62 Stat. 869

     Pursuant to the duties imposed upon it by virtue of 28 U.S.C. 2403(a), this Court will please certify to the Office of the Attorney General that the constitutionality of an Act of Congress affecting the public interest is herein drawn in question.

     Likewise, this Court will please certify Movant’s intervention for presentation of all evidence admissible in the above entitled cases, and for argument(s) on the question of the constitutionality of the Act of June 25, 1948, 62 Stat. 869.

 

RESERVATION OF RIGHTS

     Subject to all applicable provisions of Law, Movant hereby expressly reserves all rights of a party and shall be subject to all liabilities of a party as to court costs, to the extent necessary for a proper presentation of the facts and laws relating to the question of the constitutionality of said Act.

     See Article II, Articles of Confederation (“United States, in Congress Assembled”);  28 U.S.C. 530B (willful misrepresentation);  Williams v. United States, 289 U.S. 553 (1933) (United States as plaintiff);  United States ex rel. Toth v. Quarles, 350 U.S. 11 (1955);  Sherman Act (1890) (Article III constitutional court has original jurisdiction);  3:2:1 (“Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party;”).

     The “United States” and the “United States of America” are not one and the same.  Congress is expressly prohibited from re‑defining any terms found in the U.S. Constitution.  See Preamble (“Constitution for the United States of America”);  Article II, Section 1, Clause 1 (“2:1:1”) (“President of the United States of America”);  Article VII (“Independence of the United States of America”);  Eisner v. Macomber, 252 U.S. 189 (1920):

Congress ... cannot by legislation alter the Constitution, from which alone it derives its power to legislate, and within whose limitations that power can be lawfully exercised.

 

     The U.S. Department of Justice does not enjoy general power(s) of attorney to represent the United States of America.  Compare 28 U.S.C. 547(1), (2) (Duties).  Willful misrepresentation by officers employed by that Department is actionable under the McDade Act, 28 U.S.C. 530B (Ethical standards for attorneys for the Government).

     Whenever the United States proceeds as party plaintiff, an Article III constitutional court, exercising the judicial power of the United States, is a prerequisite under 3:2:1 (“The judicial Power shall extend ... to Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party”).  See 28 U.S.C. 1345 (United States as plaintiff).

Whenever the United States proceeds as a party defendant, the sovereign must grant permission to be sued.  See 28 U.S.C. 1346 (United States as defendant).  In this mode, a legislative court is permitted.  See Williams v. United States, 289 U.S. 553, 577 (1933):

     ... [C]ontroversies to which the United States may by statute be made a party defendant, at least as a general rule, lie wholly outside the scope of the judicial power vested by article 3 in the constitutional courts.  See United States v. Texas, 143 U.S. 621, 645, 646 S., 12 S.Ct. 488.

 

A private Citizen may move a federal court on behalf of the United States ex relatione.  United States ex rel. Toth v. Quarles, 350 U.S. 11 (1955).

The Sherman Act (1890) vests original jurisdiction in the several district courts of the United States (“DCUS”).  These courts are Article III constitutional courts proceeding in judicial mode.  Sherman Act, 26 Stat. 209 (1890),  36 Stat. 1167 (1911), 62 Stat. 909 (1948).  See also Mookini v. U.S., 303 U.S. 201, 205 (1938) (term DCUS in its historic and proper sense);  General Investment Co. v. Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railway Co., 260 U.S. 261 (1922) (antitrust injunctions brought by the United States in the public interest).

The United States District Courts (“USDC”) are legislative courts typically proceeding in legislative mode.  See American Insurance v. 356 Bales of Cotton, 1 Pet. 511, 7 L.Ed. 242 (1828) (C.J. Marshall’s seminal ruling);  and Balzac v. Porto Rico, 258 U.S. 298, 312 (1922) (The USDC is not a true United States court established under Article III.)  See 28 U.S.C. §§ 88, 91, 132, 152, 171, 251, 458, 461, 1367.

Legislative courts are not required to exercise the Article III guarantees required of constitutional courts.  See Keller v. Potomac Electric Power Co., 261 U.S. 428 (1923);  Federal Trade Commission v. Klesner, 274 U.S. 145 (1927);  Swift v. United States, 276 U.S. 311 (1928);  Ex parte Bakelite Corporation, 279 U.S. 438 (1929);  Federal Radio Commission v. General Electric Co., 281 U.S. 464 (1930);  Claiborne-Annapolis Ferry Co. v. United States, 285 U.S. 382 (1932);  O’Donoghue v. United States, 289 U.S. 516 (1933);  Glidden Co. v. Zdanok, 370 U.S. 530 (1962);  Northern Pipeline Co. v. Marathon Pipe Line Co., 458 U.S. 50 (1982);  49 Stat. 1921.

All guarantees of the U.S. Constitution were expressly extended into the District of Columbia in 1871, and into all federal Territories in 1873.  See 16 Stat. 419, 426, Sec. 34;  18 Stat. 325, 333, Sec. 1891, respectively.  Hooven & Allison v. Evatt, 324 U.S. 652 (1945) (only as Congress has made those guaranties [sic] applicable).
