The challenging thing, from a legal perspective (the situation in which I have encountered them) is that they are citing actual laws. The problem is that they are citing them out of context, in situations to which they do not apply.

So when a filing from one of these pro se sovereign citizens pops up it in court, it takes an inordinate amount of time to get rid of because you can't just say they are spouting nonsense. Because they aren't. You have to identify the source of the law, find the parts of it that identify when it is applicable, anlayze why this situation isn't that situation. And on, and on, for pages and pages of real law taken out of context.
