According to the U.S. Attorney General's office, "A copy of this Notice is being filed will [sic] the Clerk of the Alameda County Superior Court, Berkeley Courthouse. That filing will automatically effect the removal of the action in its entirety to this Court for all future proceedings."
Conservatives are always yammering on and on about how the Federal government abuses its power (except of course when the Supreme Court let GWB steal the 2000 election or when corporations are granted the status of real people and get to move their profits to secret tax-free accounts in the Caymans or when GWB decides to illegally go to war) -- but this is one time that I actually do agree with the Right Wing. The Federal government should NOT BE GRANTED EXEMPTION from the jurisdiction of America's small claims courts. Why? Because We are the people -- and small claims courts are the people's courts.
Bottom line: I don't know if the Department of Defense or the Department of Justice will show up at my small claims court trial on January 9, but I myself will definitely be there. But if Stillwater vs. the Department of Defense is not successfully settled at this time, then I will be ready, willing and (hopefully) able to take this case on up to Federal court!
And if there are any attorneys out there who would like to volunteer their time to help me take these guys on in Federal court, just say the word. I didn't become a war correspondent for nothing. The Marines themselves have taught me how to be "First to Fight". The gloves are off!
