Capacity issues
Whenever an inmate is representing himself, you just know he's got nothing. But when you see a list of defendants as bizarre as this one...
Okay, we've got the Roman Empire, the Quran, the "Vienna Convention" (which one is not specified), Napoleon, "computer hackers and telephone phreakers", Jimmy Dean Sausage Co., the "House of Rothschild", Hamid Karzai (current president of Afghanistan), ICANN, Fort Knox, eBay, Wendy's, "gangs in Hong Kong", Scott Peterson, Jimmy Hoffa, the King James Bible, Skittles candy, and, inter alia and my personal favorite, Magna Carta.
Because suing 800-year-old documents of questionable authority is gonna get you what you want.
I think this guy should be fined for wasting the court's time.
UPDATE: It's not the first time, either. He's got a list of completely frivolous claims out there. The one against Michael Vick is of note, as he seeks, and I quote, $63,000,000,000 billion backed in silver or gold". I wonder if it's possible to hold someone in contempt for filing too many frivolous cases?
