Judge A. Howard Matz: "The defendant's personal presence is not necessary, given that he's currently represented by Mr. Nicolaysen."
Nicolaysen: "Thank you so much. Your honor, government counsel tracks my thinking as well. I want to assure the court. We agonized over this. We spent well over an hour on the phone Friday. Spoke again on Saturday anticipating that your honor may very well want some feedback on this very point, so we're not trying to put words into the court's mouth by asking you to make a finding [of a fact] that you didn't make; however --"
Doctor Phil Says: Anything Coming Out Of The Mouth After "However," Negates Everything Before That Word.
Just Keeping It Real.
FOR THE RECORD.
You don't even have to be there to be judged and examined and "found;" pardon the expression, "incompetent." Wish they could have found a law book instead. Maybe then they would have read it. Or did they? I guess we shall have to agonize over whether they did or did not, "probably."
They just make it look like I were there, for the record, with Rule 43, by forcing representatives; who refuse to assist, and are conflicted, and quacks who pretend to assist. Then disappear leaving the judge baffled.
Like your right to ignore. Did you know you even had that right?
Crackers, if ya ask me. But remember, "that's not an issue that I have to address and it's not a question I'm required to answer, so I decline to do so." But if you do ask me, I promise to answer you back "promptly." I have nothing to hide, unlike my Censorers.
