COURT: An organ of government, belonging to the judicial department, whose function is the application of the laws to controversies brought before it and the public administration of justice.
A body in the government to which the administration of justice is delegated. A body organized to administer justice, and including both judge and jury. (!!!!!)
An agency of the sovereign created by it directly or indirectly under its authority, consisting of one or more officers, established and maintained for the purpose of hearing and determining issues of law and fact regarding legal rights and alleged violations thereof, and for applying the sanctions of the law at times and places previously determined by lawful authority.
It is a passive forum for adjusting disputes and has no power to investigate facts or to initiate proceedings. (Black’s fourth)

As an aside check this one: International law. The person and the suite of the sovereign; the place where the sovereign sojourns with his regal retinue, wherever that may be.

AJ,
I agree completely with you on the “enacting clause”. You also might want to check out “title”, “one subject” and “void for vagueness”. On that last, one I really love is “move over or slow down for a stopped cop”. Move over how far? Slow down how much?

Your motion to dismiss may have been inappropriate. A court would have to have jurisdiction to dismiss a case. In your situation there was no subject matter jurisdiction therefore NO COURT. A classic case was Randy Lee. The judge said, “Next case.”
