       The Supreme Court, of the federal united States, hands down Moore v. Illinois, punishing a State sovereign Citizen, under both federal and State law, for harboring a self-emancipated slave does not constitute Double Jeopardy:

The same act may be an offence or transgression of the laws of both [sovereignties].  Thus, an assault upon the marshal of the [u]nited States, and hindering him in the execution of legal process, is a high offence against the [u]nited States, for which the perpetrator is liable to punishment; and the same act may be also a gross breach of the peace of the State, a riot, assault, or a murder, and subject the same person to a punishment, under the State laws, for a misdemeanor or felony.
