Born in a brothel during the winter of 1847 in the little muddy logging and seaport town of Port Angeles about one hundred miles west of Seattle in the Oregon territory; called “J.R.” by the locals who frequented his mother’s place, by the same name, this man has become the nation’s most steadfast supporter and defender of the Constitution of this great land.

J.R. never had the chance to go to school, but from an early age he got the attention of the local Sheriff and a lawyer who were frequent patrons of JRs. Between these men and a schoolmarm, who worked nights at the house, J.R. received a first-rate education, with a sharp focus on the law.

By the age of twelve J.R. was working with the Sheriff. By keeping his eyes and ears open while living in the brothel, J.R. knew all the goings-on around the territory. The sheriff showed his appreciation by teaching J.R. the ways of a lawman.

By the eighteen-sixties J.R. was reading about the war between the north and south, which had little effect on the northwest, but was written up in the papers on a daily basis. When president Lincoln came to town in 1862 he stayed at JRs, which was also the only hotel in town, as well as the best restaurant within a two-day ride. During Lincoln’s stay J.R. had several long conversations with the president about the war and especially about the constitution and the bill of rights. By the end of the president’s visit, Lincoln invited J.R. to accompany him back to Washington, which he, of course, accepted.

Righting Wrongs
By Rope and Gun

J.R. became an aid to president Lincoln and after his death, stayed on through Andrew Johnson’s and part of Grant’s administration. With J.R’s nearness to everything going on in the Whitehouse, he became more and more disgusted with president Ulysses Grant and his administration’s immoral dealings with the Indians. During this time J.R. spirited information out of the Whitehouse to George Custer, a general in the US army, who was working to put a stop to Grant’s nefarious doings. After Custer’s murder, at the hands of the Indians but contrived by Grant and his henchmen, J.R. left the Whitehouse and found work in and around the Senate. By the late 1880s Theodore Roosevelt, a member of the Civil Service Commission, became a good friend and hunting companion of J.R’s.

Through J.R’s near constant study of the Constitution of these United States, he became a stalwart supporter and defender of that marvelous document. He and the young Roosevelt spent many a long hunt speaking of the virtues of the Constitution and especially the Bill of Rights. Through the work of Roosevelt and several Senators, president Benjamin "Little Ben" Harrison signed an Executive Order creating the position of “Protector of the Constitution and Defender of the Bill of Rights”. With a unanimous vote of both the House and Senate, J.R. was appointed the traveling judge of the west. His duties are to travel the western territories and convene courts to hear cases involving constitutional transgressions.

J.R. has often said he thought the unanimous vote was to get him the hell out of Washington, and far away from the doings in congress.

There’s no appeals in
Judge J.R’s court!

Judge J.R. takes his duties very seriously. With the many special powers bestowed on him by congress, and the President, Judge J.R. is righting wrongs by rope and gun. Judge J.R. ferrets-out all who would fiddle with the founding documents of this great nation. He then gives them a short trial and a long rope. Judge J.R. assures any politician who finds themselves in front of his bench, that he won’t hang them. If Judge J.R. finds them guilty, which he mostly does; that’s treason which is a shoot’n offence, for which he takes great pride in executing right on the spot. There’s no appeals in Judge J.R’s court!

Among the many special powers bestowed on him is the power to appoint marshals to go out and drag to Judge J.R’s court, wrong doers of the Constitution.

Judge J.R. is especially interested in seeing crooked politicians and liberals, that would tamper with the right to bear arms, in his court. Judge J.R. says: “If you mess with the second amendment, you’re spitt’n on the Constitution, and I’ll see you swing for that!”

"A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."
