No. It's not even a recognized defense in any US court on any level. There's a litany of stories on google from people who actually track these morons that try the sovereign citizen defense and it never works. Hell, even the SPLC even talks shit about the people who try it.

My personal favorite is when someone tries it and it usually boils down to them trying to quote the Articles of Confederation as the justification for it. Problem is that the articles haven't been a legitimate legal document since the south lost the civil war.

How about when a Canadian or UK soc cit tried to invoke the UCC (United States Commercial Code)? That's always fun.
