Dan Taylor has a good letter in the Maui News
When it comes to Hawaii kingdom sovereignty issues, the courts are like a mule with blinders. They are only allowed to see as far as what is legal under the state and federal constitutions. What is blocked from view is the lawfulness of the state of Hawaii and its constitution.
Any actions (the Organic Act and Statehood Act) which are subsequent to an act of fraud (the Newlands Resolution) have no more lawful authority then the initial act of fraud. For instance, if your car is stolen, the theft isn’t made legal by altering the title and doing a paint job before selling it. The fact remains, the car is stolen.
Very well written. Use of the mule analogy throughout makes it easy to follow the writer’s thought. Since I know the history he’s talking about, I could fill in the blanks too.
