A native Virginian, Eustace Mullins is a descendant of William Mullins, whose name is on the Mayflower Compact, a government code written for the May flower settlers, and the first compact written in the New World. He served thirty-eight months in the United States Army Air Force during World War II. He was educated at Washington & Lee University, Ohio State University, the University of North Dakota, New York University, Escuela des Bellas Artes, San Miguel de Allende, and the Institute of Contemporary Arts, Washington, D.C. His name, Eustace, means "Justice," in Aramaic, the lan guage spoken by Jesus Christ. In his forty years of investigative work, Eustace Mullins's rapid progress was made possible by his becoming the protege of Ezra Pound, the leading literary force of the twentieth cen tury; George Stimpson, founder of the National Press Club, and the most respected journalist in Washington, D.C.; and H. L. Hunt, the business entrepreneur with a consuming interest in good government. After Ezra Pound's passing, Eustace Mullins founded the Ezra Pound Institute of Civilization, which carries on Pound's ground-breaking work in literature and economics. vii Contents 1 Legal Anarchy 1 2 The Origin of Law 16 3 A Plague of Lawyers 56 4 Judge Not 133 5 The Supreme Court 188 6 The Court as Arena 241 7 The Department of Justice 276 8 Durance Vile 313 9 The Case of the Strange Director 336 10 The Strange Case of the Schizophrenic Driver ... 370 11 The Strange Case of the Senile Millionaire . . .. 392 12 Freedom of Speech, Anyone? 419 13 Taxation Without Hope 429 14 The Taxing Power 448 15 Mullins on Equity 481 16 Our Legal Future 532 ix Foreword In my travels throughout the United States, I have found that the first complaint of our citizens is the sorry state of our legal system. They do not complain that the laws them selves are onerous, but rather that their administration is almost universally unfair and unjustified. I have even heard farmers arguing with each other at their markets, each protesting with inverted pride that "Our county has the crookedest lawyers and judges in this state," only to be met with the fervent response from a farmer representing another county, "Oh, no, our lawyers and judges are a lot crookeder than the ones in your county!" Americans recognize that we must have laws, and that we must abide by them, otherwise life would become intolerable. The problem is that law-abiding citizens are usually greeted in our courts with disbelief that anyone still obeys the laws in this nation, and two, that a legal system which is operated by and for criminals has no greater enemy than the law-abiding citizen. The first purpose of law has always been "Salus Populi," the safety of the people. I write this in a building which has five locks on every door. Twenty-five years ago, the doors were never locked. We hardly knew where the key to the front door was kept. With hundreds of other citizens in Wash ington during its tropical summers, I went to a nearby park xi
