I've never understood this. Even if they are absolutely convinced that they're right, you can go watch 1000 videos of judges and cops who are wholly unimpressed with their gibberish. They might be convinced they know a hidden truth, but what good is it when the established institutions don't recognize it as truth?
My theory is that they're just lacking in reasoning skills. How else would you become a sovcit in the first place? If their arguments were effective, every lawyer in the country would be using them.
But they do see that this works. They see the rich and famous getting out (often on bail, but who cares about details?) on technicalities, and think they can do it as well. They fail to appreciate, of course, all the expertise and all the legwork that these lawyers needed in order to find these loopholes for their clients.
It's the same proud ignorance that makes people think they know more than scientists about medicine and the climate, or that they could win in a fight against a bear
It's mostly a cargo cult.
