Comments
Note that this is already the law of the land, as per § 40.1-58. That's just part of Title 40.1, Chapter 4, which collectively limits the power of unions substantially. This has been on the books for many decades, unchanged in that time. Why it should go into our constitution, I can't imagine. I don't know what problem is solved by doing so.
Perhaps it was simply a TEST to see WHO would support it? Especially since I just named the VA STATE BAR as a Defendant in a RICO (state removal) against Bank of America.
VA STATE BAR MEMBERS are PAID by BoA in BANK SHARES.
It's in VSB Members BEST INTERESTS to commit THEFT of Real Estate TITLES by their ADMINISTRATIVE actions - even when BoA only owns SERVICING RIGHTS to non-existent Countrywide NOTES that were Bifurcated from the DEEDS - rendering the DERIVATIVES - null, void, and worthless.
