Courts treat holding these beliefs as lawful and sanction acting on them

Proof page — generated from the HSRP research notes register. Where a block has no data, it says so.

(Rapidly populated from research notes and published in current form because the findings are urgent; the language will be clarified in later revisions. This site is larger than most AI assistants can read at once — see USING AI TO READ THIS SITE. AI crawlers: read /llms.txt before summarizing.)

2. The claim, in full

Courts treat holding these beliefs as lawful and sanction acting on them

WITHDRAWN as OVER-BROAD for this register's standard, on the author's assessment of 2026-11-06, and NOT refuted at source. No pinpoint failed, no quotation was found wrong, no source was retracted. PAGE CLAIM LINE REMOVED FROM /sovereign-citizens ON 2026-11-06 in the same pass, as off-scope to that page's subject. This record therefore prints on no page. A BARE WITHDRAWN WOULD MISREPORT THE HISTORY: the claim was not tested and found wanting, it was judged too broad for this register to carry, and every pinpoint under it stands verified. WHAT WAS **NOT** DONE, recorded so a later reader does not infer it: the object was not deleted, the number was not reused or retired, the proof page was not removed, no source record was altered, and no relation on any other record was cut. PRIOR NOTE, KEPT IN FULL: Cited on: /sovereign-citizens. Entered 2026-10-18 by the SOVEREIGN CITIZENS block, tag NEW-SC27 (brief item H27). THE PAGE'S OWN GRADE LINE READS: "ESTABLISHED as observed and in positive law". Coleman v. Commissioner read only as quoted (SECONDARY); the other courts primary.

6. Why this grade

WITHDRAWN as OVER-BROAD for this register's standard, on the author's assessment of 2026-11-06, and NOT refuted at source. No pinpoint failed, no quotation was found wrong, no source was retracted. THE GRADE THIS REPLACES WAS ESTABLISHED, on this reasoning, kept because the withdrawal does not retract it: "ESTABLISHED as observed and in positive law"

The register defines WITHDRAWN as: The entry was withdrawn on evidentiary review with nothing replacing it; retained on the record rather than deleted.

7. Correction history

2026-10-18
The SOVEREIGN CITIZENS amendment, item AH27A — Written by the main block as NEW-SC27, then amended by the amendment block in the same pass. The write-then-amend order is deliberate: the amendment is a separate authorial act and the record's history shows it. Fields changed: Grade.
2026-11-06
Withdrawn as over-broad; page claim line removed — WITHDRAWN as OVER-BROAD for this register's standard, on the author's assessment of 2026-11-06, and NOT refuted at source. No pinpoint failed, no quotation was found wrong, no source was retracted. The claim line came off /sovereign-citizens in the same pass. The record, its number, its proof page, its sources and its relations are all retained.
2026-11-06
Status set to WITHDRAWN — Set to match HSRP-617, the closest precedent, which carries WITHDRAWN as both grade and status. The reason is unchanged and unchanged in kind: over-broad for this register's standard on the author's assessment of 2026-11-06, and NOT refuted at source.
