Fiduciary Toward the Public

“A Public official is a fiduciary toward the public, including in the case of a judge, the litigants who appear before him and if he deliberately conceals material information from them he is guilty of fraud,”

~ U.S. v Holzer 816 F. 2d 304, 307 (1987)

 

Public officials are also “trustee[s] and servant[s] of the people,”

~ Georgia Department v Sistrunk 291 S.E. 2d 524, 526 (1982)

 

“‘Public office’ is a public trust or agency for the benefit of the people to be administered under legislative control in the interest of the people.”

~ State ex rel Nagle v Sullivan 40 P. 2d 995, 997, Supreme Court of Montana (1935)

 

 

Calling Themselves Government

 

“It is self-evident that no number of men, by conspiring, and calling themselves a government, can acquire any rights whatever over other men, or other men’s property, which they had not before, as individuals. And whenever any number of men, calling themselves a government, do anything to another man, or to his property, which they had no right to do as individuals, they thereby declare themselves trespassers, robbers, or murderers, according to the nature of their acts.”

~ Lysander Spooner
