Mr. Lamparty is right. This reminds me of the "herd shot 'round the world" when they launched the elephants into space.
The sovereign citizens are stupid. Not because of their belief that the government has no authority over them, but because of HOW they arrive at their conclusion.
If they believed government can't trump the word of god, they'd be wackadoos, but at least they'd have an argument. If they said something along the lines of the fact that the government has no place regulating these things because they couldn't if they wanted to, they still be wackadoos, but I'd buy the philosophical argument.
Their logic is that they can do whatever they want because the law protects them for doing so, and that you have to watch out for "traps" whereby you can be "tricked" into signing away your right to do whatever you want. Their justification for their beliefs is an appeal to a "higher power" that is in fact the same entity they claim has no claim to enforce anything on them.
They make the timecube guy look like a bastion of rationalism.

We need a Wacko tag for this type of story! Though I don't doubt a few or at least one here, subscribes to this philosophy!
