One is determined "indigent" by executing an AFFIDAVIT under OATH and SUBMITTING it to a court, NOT by a 'judge' - especially when judges in Va have IGNORED the well-established FACTS of indigent litigants for over 2 decades; even IGNORING US Supreme Court rulings and Case History. Any 'judge' who acts OUTSIDE the Constitutions WARS with our form of government, and thus may be held PERSONALLY LIABLE for their Actions. Remember this Virginians!
