The Citizens Common Law Grand Jury created at the time the federal
government was set up in the late 1700's could only be an American Common Law
Grand Jury. The country was at peace--- as it had been for several years after
the signing of the Definitive Treaty of Peace, Paris, 1783--- at the time the
actual Constitution was adopted. There can be no assumption that the references
made to the Citizens Common Law Grand Jury set up as the Fourth Branch of
Government at that time was operating under any form of Martial Common Law.
No such circumstance of war or venue of martial law related to the civil
government existed at the time.
Therefore, when we say "Citizens Common Law Grand Jury" and take reference
to Scalia's recent ruling re-affirming its validity, there is only one kind of
"Common Law" we can be talking about and that is American Common Law as it
existed and grew up on this continent for the two centuries prior to the
adoption of the Constitution and the creation of the Federal Government.
That being true, the next thing we have to look at is who is competent to
serve on a Citizen's Grand Jury under American Common Law, and the first thing
that jumps off the page is that the jurors have to be Americans and acting as
Americans. They can't be United States Citizens.
