In the latest release from The Professor’s Record, Attorney and former Professor David Clements shares about the crucible of lawfare.
David Clements was a professor at New Mexico State University. He lost his position during the COVID crisis and used this time to address the unconstitutional actions of the government during this crisis and the stolen election of 2020.
Clements has started a series of episodes addressing subjects he knows much about. This week’s episode addresses the lawfare in this country in particular related to pro se litigants.
THE COURTS ARE A CRUEL MACHINE, a labyrinth of rules where truth stumbles. For the pro se litigant, alone without a lawyer’s shield, it’s a rigged battlefield. They fumble the law’s language, miss deadlines, botch filings. Judges, weary of errors, frown. Opposing counsel, sharp and funded, prey on every slip. The system demands precision they can’t give. Fees stack high; emotion clouds reason; resources run dry.
The law isn’t a sanctuary for truth but a crucible for manipulation, intimidation, domination. Victory belongs not to the just but to those who crush their foe. A pastor once taught me: witchcraft isn’t always potions or cauldrons. It’s any spirit seeking control, not truth. In churches or courtrooms, that spirit thrives.
Legalism haunts the courts, cold and unholy. Attorneys wield its weapon: accusation. Like Satan accusing Job in heaven’s court, they accuse in earth’s, twisting truth into lies. Their god? The rules of procedure. “To hell with a father’s plea for his kids,” they sneer. “Did he cite the right statute?” Another moves to bury a small business that failed to observe the fine print. I’ve seen it. I’ve felt it. Pro se, I fought their spells, scarred but standing.
Yes, I’m here to tell you legal witchcraft is as present in a courtroom as any coven meeting; robes still adorn the judges. Ballpoint pens act as magic wands. Legal briefs, with their precise words, replace spells. Oral argument takes the place of incantation. Unopposed, the haggard clerk, wart extending from her nose, etches a false record, wiping out the truth—at least the truth as God sees it.
I’m a lawyer. I know the law’s edges. But I’ve also stood pro se, no firm behind me, no secretary to check my work. Just me against their machine. Fear grips, but faith holds tighter. That’s the story today.

Here is David’s message:
“The wheels of Justice grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly fine”.
“both the guilty and the innocent”
“…at least the truth as God sees it.”
As God sees it? You mean His version? Like a man? Sir, God is truth itself!
The insightful question becomes– How many other Senators have only a quest for power and control?

It seems that David might be the man to ask that moral question.
Law no longer prudent is therefore invalid.
~Hon. Lord Fancis Bacon
Rebuttal: So why does law exist?
Answer: Grace.
In Conclusion: Law without Grace is no law at all.
2 basic concepts of Common Law.
1. Do no more than contracted.
2. Do no harm to person or property.
Respectfully,
Well said!
I heard the “wise Latina” Supreme Court Justice explain why overturning Roe v. Wade was bad. She cited the overturning of precedent as her reason. She said nothing about babies being born alive. She said nothing about babies living to be born. We need justices that know that people are more important than the law.
Can you imagine if she had debated Charlie? It would have made the KBJ question on “what is a woman” look like story time at the OK Nursery School!

“Sir, God is truth itself!” That’s his whole point. Not this witchcraft mumbo-jumbo.

The legal system has become so onerous and complex. I am a lawyer, so I am lucky to have an advantage in navigating it. But, it should not be necessary to be a lawyer, just to live in this society. Things have gone off the rails, and the train needs to be righted.
We live in a time, when the law is suppose to be our shield has become the spear they use against
I’m fully with you. You will be victorious at every level.
