As we get closer to the trial stage of these insurrection prosecutions we are likely to be treated with more attention grabbing headlines such as this....
Pizzeria Owner Mounts Truly Bizarre Defense for Jan. 6 Riots
..... and you will be compelled to read further to find out the latest lump of dumb concocted by the scrambled brainwaves of another halfwit kook.
Not only is she representing herself, she’s using far-out “sovereign citizen” talking points to claim she is immune from prosecution.

A few excerpts:
Pauline Bauer, a Pennsylvania pizzeria owner, is accused of multiple counts of violent entry, disruptive conduct, and obstruction of Congress .....and that while in the Capitol rotunda she told police that she wanted to kill House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
So far, a run-of-the-mill insurrectionist
Bauer’s sister.....sent the court a letter claiming that Bauer had become highly political during the COVID-19 pandemic, when her pizzeria had to contend with public health restrictions “She became more involved in learning of her constitutional rights as a business owner throughout this ordeal and her involvement with peaceful assemblies led up to the January 6, 2021 rally in Washington, DC,” the sister’s letter read. “She is a firm believer in The Constitution....."
Nothing too radical or demented there
But in what experts describe as an inadvisable legal strategy, Bauer has demanded to represent herself in court, appeared to threaten a court clerk with prison time, and declared herself a “self-governed individual” with special legal privileges."
OK, here we go
Bauer does not simply appear in court, she clarified during a June 11 proceeding via Zoom. “I am here by special divine appearance, a living soul,” she told a judge that day, while stating that she did not want an attorney. “I do not stand under the law,” she said. “Under Genesis 1, God gave man dominion over the law"
...And we have lift-off
In one document, filed last week, Bauer listed a series of strange alternative spellings of her name in a document that she (incorrectly) claimed freed her from some government control”
Now orbiting Planet Insanity
In another new filling, she offered a document that “serves as Proof that my living DNA existed on this Land before there was a UNITED STATES of America or Any STATE Thereof.”
Deep Space, somewhere in Constellation Sovereign Citizen.
Good luck Pizza lady.
