The way that I'd explain some American Sovereign Citizens is that they are low information people who don't understand the legal process. They see people make statements, use big words and sometimes Latin, and argue what they see as small technicalities. It would be like a muggle watching Harry Potter cast a spell.
So they are trying to cast legal magic like Harry Potter.
