South Dakota Seeks to Undermine The People’s

Initiative Process as a Result of JAIL4Judges

It is no secret that JAIL4Judges provided a real scare to the establishment in South Dakota by placing judicial accountability on the ballot in 2006. The legislature there chose to violate their State’s Constitution and their own criminal laws in order to thwart passage of the judicial accountability measure of their State’s judges to the Constitution these judges have sworn to uphold and defend.

The South Dakota Constitution Art. VI, §26 states, "Elections shall be free and equal, and no power, civil or military, shall at any time interfere to prevent the free exercise of the right of suffrage." [i.e., the right to vote.]

South Dakota criminal statutes provide, “Any person knowingly printing, publishing, or delivering to any voter of this state a document containing any purported constitutional amendment, question, law, or measure to be submitted to the voters at any election, in which such constitutional amendment, question, law, or measure is misstated, erroneously printed, or by which false or misleading information is given to the voters, is guilty of a Class 2 misdemeanor.”  Codified Law 12-13-16.

See www.SD-jail4judges.org which thoroughly documents this criminal ordeal of the Legislature in detail --a site they do not want you to see.

What the South Dakota Legislature is seeking to do is shorten the time in which the People may collect signatures, and impose a requirement that the People circulate the views [propaganda] of the State Attorney General with the measure. It is being advanced under the  guise of “improving” the ballot process, promoting “openness” and “honesty” about ballot issues, and barring out-of-state initiatives from coming into South Dakota, as if judicial accountability in South Dakota is foreign to South Dakota.

Everyone should be knowledgeable of what is going on regarding this news; however we are not permitted to quote the source of this information.  “…the AP News report may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed without the prior written authority of The Associated Press.” The source’s author, with whom I have previously spoken by telephone, vigorously opposes J.A.I.L. and wants nothing to do with it other than to do whatever is necessary to see that it is defeated.

Without rewriting the information, we can tell you that the Bill  is South Dakota HB 1184 which has passed both the Senate and the House, and is now awaiting the signature of Gov. Mike Rounds.

Those familiar with the 2006 warfare in South Dakota (see www.SD-jail4judges.org to refresh your memory) know that it was that very written “explanation” of State Attorney General Larry Long that defrauded the entire election of  the J.A.I.L. Amendment (Amendment E). Attorney General Long misled all voters in South Dakota by claiming that “judges,” the sole subject of the Initiative, included juries, school boards, city councils, county commissions, etc. who could be thrown in jail for their decisions, the objective of which propaganda was to scare  jurors with imprisonment. Long also stated “The proposed amendment to the State Constitution would allow thirteen volunteers to expose these decision makers to fines and jail, and strip them of public insurance coverage and up to one-half of their retirement benefits, for making decisions which break rules defined by the volunteers.” 

J.A.I.L. was forced to sue Larry Long in court for his ridiculous interpretation, but since this case was going in front of the judges of South Dakota against whom the Initiative was directed, the judges upheld a view that their own attorney, Attorney General Larry Long that defends them, could describe the Initiative however he wished, including “The attorney general could have said with a straight face that the real purpose and effect of the proposed JAIL amendment is to destroy justice in South Dakota…” quoting from the judgment of Judge Max A. Gors. From there, the matter went to the S.D. Supreme Court who affirmed Judge Gors.

We recommend you read the well-written words addressed to  Chief Justice David Gilbertson, South Dakota Supreme Court, at www.sd-jail4judges.org/Gilbertson.htm.  

 

J.A.I.L. presents the following question: If it is indeed true that the People are the final authority regarding their government as stated in Art. VI, §26 of the South Dakota Constitution, to wit:  "All political power is inherent in the people, and all free government is founded on their authority, and is instituted for their equal protection and benefit, and they have the right in lawful and constituted methods to alter or reform their forms of government in such manner as they may think proper" then I ask, where is the mind of the People regarding their authority in fundamentally altering the powers of the People of South Dakota?

 

Has not the Legislature reopened the question presented by JAIL4Judges in 2006 and drawn a fresh battle line on whether they, the People, have the unquestionable and inherit right to decide for themselves their future destiny, and not government?

 

J.A.I.L. states that the “government” of South Dakota has now crossed a line by which the People must now stand up for their  right to “alter or reform their forms of government in such manner as they may think proper.” It is either that or collapse the “government” of South Dakota as a traitor to their supreme law, the Constitution and to the People!

Patriots Are Such Ignorant Folk

By Ron Branson – National J.A.I.L. CIC

 

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou

hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee…”  Hosea 4:6

 

I have been classified as a “patriot” since the end of the 1970s, and admit to having suffered the same ignorance then that I now see within the patriot movement, knowing only the arguments I am hearing today.

 

Back them I remember the patriots half-filling a 6,000 seat forum in Southern Califonria that addressed the very same taxing issues that now frustrate all the people today. That organizational group is now gone, and the attendees scattered all over the place. Yes, and from time to time, I still happen to meet some of these same people here and there who come up and greet me. (I have an unforgettable face).

 

I remember attending a seminar held in Orange County California around the year 1982 and meeting for their first time Congressman Ron Paul and Larry McDonald who both spoke to the audience. Ron Paul was doctor and a Libertarian, and Larry McDonald, a member of the Georgia State Medical Education Board, and a Democrat who also served as the second president of the John Birch Society. Shortly after my acquantance with Larry McDonald the plane on which he was a passenger, Korean Air Flight 007 was shot down by Soviet interceptors.

 

I became closely acquainted with A. J. Porth known as the original founder of what then became known as the “Second American Revolution.” Porth was ordered to give the money he owed to those who worked for him to the government, and he told the government that if they had a dispute with his workers that they should go to them and not enter him into their dispute. His stand landed him in prison back in 1964. Even his prison guards were highly impressed with his stand and principles. His Parole Officer said to him, “Mr. Porth, my hat is off to you and I highly respect you.”

 

Having witnessed what has come down the pike relating to the “patriot” movement over the years and noting that nothing has changed, I brought suit after suit against the government before the judges which cases took me up to the U.S. Supreme Court fourteen times learning that it was insanity to expect anything from the courts in the line of Redress of Grievances. Thereafter I created JAIL4Judges in 1995 and promoted it on the internet. I now have the attention of no less than six state Supreme Court Justices, and retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, the latter of whom travels around the country castigating JAIL4Judges. California State Supreme Court Justice Ronald George states that I am out to “destroy the wonderful judicial system we have here in California.” JAIL4Judges has generated at least two million dollars’ worth of free negative national publicity, including the WSJ, CNN, and the Los Angeles Times as well as several legal newspapers such as The Daily Journal, the largest in the nation.

 

So what is my point? Just this week I was urged to attend a major California “patriot” demonstration entitled “Heads on a stick” which was broadcast on a popular radio station and covered by television news. Thousands there chanted, “Heads on a Stick!” repeatedly. I asked, “What does Heads on a Stick mean?” The response was, “Something we will never do.” I asked if this was planned as some kind of joke. If indeed these patriots are serious, show me some heads. I am from Missouri! Show Me! I heard nothing about judges, judicial corruption, or accountability thereof.

 

I hear on the internet the need to find a good leader. But these patriots would never recognize a “good leader” even if they could reach out and touch him. I distributed some 600 JAIL4Judges business cards. Someone who took the card asked me if I was a judge. I told him “No!” So he gave me back the card and walked away as if to express disappointment that I was not a judge.

 

I can tell you that at one patriot meeting someone pointed out to me the leader of a nationwide organization of whom most all of you have heard. I thought this would provide me a great opportunity for me to introduce myself to him as many belonging to that organization were also JAILers. As I walked up to him from his left side with my hand extended to him (he was looking forward), he never even turned his head to look at me, but aggressively said to me, “I know who your are!” I was shocked and stepped back, wondering if he had me confused with somebody else. So I tried another approach of telling him how many of his followers are also our followers, to which he again said, “I know who you are. You are making the judges angry and we want the judges to be our friends.” I said to myself, “WOW, he does know who I am, and apparently he is angry with me because I am upsetting the judges in this country.”  In other words, an enemy of the judges is an enemy of his, and he is a “patriot” leader. Never once did he ever turn his head to look at me.

 

Another noted patriot leader said of me, “I don’t know what the answer is, but the one thing I do know is that it isn’t JAIL4Judges!”

 

So here is what I perceive about the “patriot” movement. They seek for an appropriate leader among them who shall lead the charge, but a “Leader” they shall not find for they have no heart to the truth. Well spoken to Ezekiel the words, “Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious house.” Ezekiel 12:2. Christ referred thereto in His Words, “For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.” Matthew 13:15. They are a people “Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” II Timothy 3:7. They are full of ideas, but they totally lack focus! They have a zeal for action, but have no direction. They are “Sheeple” wandering without a shepherd, the blind leading the blind. When, oh when will they open their eyes and hear with their ears? And when will the truth penetrate their hearts?

“Why We Can Never Get Anything Done!”

Hello Mr. Smith,

 

I simply try to keep it simple.  There will never be a massive gathering of advocate of father's rights on the same accord similar to activists as depicted by the Civil Rights Movement.  I can literally write a 10 thousand word paper explaining why this is so.  However, those with hidden agendas, hard headedness, overpowering wills, and loud mouths are creating diversions in order to only persist the problem.  If the problem is solved, folks will not have a platform or soapbox to boost the ego.  Some people's careers are simply focused on convincing you to pay $30 plus dollars per year and claim that they are fighting for us.   

 

Well, $30 times 5000 equals $150,0000.00.  5000 plus members is considered an under estimation.  One hundred grant is a nice paycheck, even by recession standards.  If these same folks doing, what most would consider "good", with that 100 grand then it will be all good.  As long a folk are profiting and/or profiteering, then viable solutions will continue to be avoided.  People like that are

committing crimes against society.  PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

 

Over the past 30 years I have answered this issue a thousand times. Our

movement- Father's Rights, Men's Rights movements have always been impotent.

It has had some really good men come along over the years. Charlie Metz,

Dick Doyle and others. From where I sit you are dead wrong about money being

the problem. Not even close. None of the guys I have seen have been in it

for the money. There isn't any. The problem is EGO. The movement is cures

with too many Chiefs and NO Indians. Everyone wants to be the GREAT LEADER.

 

The problem is narcissism. Men who need sycophant followers. Men who see

anyone else's accomplishments as a "THREAT" to their throne.  So the

movement since the 50's has been stagnant because it is locked in internecine warfare. The movement will remain a joke until men stop out nature to be so competitive and we can put aside attempts to be the Alpha Male. When more men can look at efforts like those of our British cousins, and support a GOOD IDEA that came from somebody else - THEN we'll have a chance. But as long as our GREAT LEADERS see the success of the others as a THREAT - we are doomed. Until we accept the need for UNITY we're all wasting our time. I gave up on the "MOVEMENT" over 20 years ago.  I have better things to do. I still support good ideas, and generally use the right to remain silent on ideas I am not thrilled with.  If it works, I'll be on the sidelines cheering. If it doesn't, I'll still be around to console the effort. Others can TEAR DOWN.

Dear Ron,

 

I know who you are and you are an outstanding Patriot. It's just a dam pity

the people lack the balls to stand up and acknowledge the truth and stand

with you.  Take courage, there are people who highly respect you and your

work and effort.  My acclamation does not come from a lowly position. ….

Patriots Are Such Ignorant Folk

By Ron Branson - National J.A.I.L. CIC

VictoryUSA@...

 

"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou

hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee."  Hosea 4:6

 

I, Ron Branson, have been a "patriot" since the end of the 1970s, and admit

to having then suffered the same ignorance  I now see within the patriot

movement today.

 

I remember a patriot organization half-filling a 6,000 seat forum in

Southern Califonria that addressed the very same taxing issues that now

frustrate the people of today. That organization is now gone, and its

attendees scattered. Yes, and from time to time, I still happen to meet some

of these same people which greet me. (I have an unforgettable face).

 

I further remember attending a seminar in Orange County California around

the year 1982 and meeting for the first time Congressman Ron Paul and Larry

McDonald. Ron Paul was doctor and a Libertarian, and Larry McDonald, a

member of the Georgia State Medical Education Board, a Democrat who also

served as the second president after the founding of the John Birch Society.

Shortly after my acquantance with Larry McDonald his airliner, Korean Air

Flight 007, was shot down from airspace by Soviet interceptor jets.

 

I also became personally acquainted with A. J. Porth whose 1964 effort was

tabbed as the beginning of the so-called "Second American Revolution." A.J.

Porth was ordered to give the salary that belonged those who worked for his

company to the government. He told the powers-that-be that he had a moral

duty before God to fulfill his agreement with those he hired, and that if

they had a dispute with his labors they must go to them and resolve their

dispute. Because of his determination to faithfully obey God, he was thrown

in a padded cell in a prison and treated as an insane person. Even the

prison officials highly respected him for his dedication and Godly

principles. His assigned Parole Officer told him, "Mr. Porth, my hat is off

to you and I highly respect you."

 

Having witnessed what has come down the pike relating to the "patriot"

movement over the years and noting that nothing has changed, I brought suit

after suit before the judges which cases took me up to the U.S. Supreme

Court fourteen times which taught me that it was pure insanity to bring

anything before the judges expecting justice. 

 

Thereafter, having being called of God and moved upon to pen the words of

the J.A.I.L. Initiative, I obeyed.  The year was 1995. I asked the Lord,

since I had neither fame nor fortune, how was it possible to promote this to

the nation. He told me "Ron, you leave that to Me." I knew at that time that

God was providing a means to overturn the corruption in this nation, albeit,

the method was beyond my imagination. At that time I knew nothing about the

internet, nor was the internet popular.

 

God in His faithfulness is providing a bona fide way, through J.A.I.L., as a

means for this nation to escape tyranny. "There hath no temptation taken you

but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you

to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make

a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it." I Cor. 10:13. God has

promised that He will "keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall

come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth." Rev. 3:10.

 

While it is manifest that God's judgment is sure, nonetheless, God, in order

to establish His judgment (Rom. 3:6), still provides a way of escape even

though it be the forestalling of the judgment, Proverbs 28:2, "For the

transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a man of

understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged." God

always sends forth His saviours, Nehemiah 9:27, "... when they cried unto

thee, thou heardest them from heaven; and according to thy manifold mercies

thou gavest them saviours, who saved them out of the hand of their enemies."

 

God is providing a means by which He will call this nation into account, and

through J.A.I.L. has already attracted the attention of no less than six

state Supreme Court Justices, and at least one U.S. Supreme Court Justice,

namely Sandra Day O'Connor. California State Supreme Court Justice Ronald

George states that J.A.I.L. is out to "destroy this wonderful judicial

system we have here in California." It has generated at least two million

dollars' of free negative advertisement, including WSJ, CNN, L.A. Times,

etc., as well as several legal newspapers such as The Daily Journal, the

largest in the nation.

 

So what is my point? Just recently I was urged to attend a major California

"patriot" demonstration entitled "Heads on a stick" which was broadcast over

the radio and covered by television news. Thousands were there chanting,

"Heads on a Stick!" "Heads on a Stick!" I asked, What does "Heads on a

Stick" mean? I was told, "Something that will never happen." I asked if this

was planned as some kind of joke. If indeed these patriots are serious, show

me some heads. I am from Missouri! Show Me! I heard nothing about judges,

judicial corruption, or accountability thereof.

 

I am hearing on the internet that we need to find a good leader. But these

patriots would never recognize a "good leader" even if they could reach out

and touch him. The only thing good that happened there was that it afforded

me the opportunity to distribute 600 JAIL4Judges business cards. Someone who

took the card asked me if I was a judge. I told him "No!" So he gave me back

the card and walked away. Americans, and even the patriots, are still

looking to the judges to be their saviour. I just shake my head in dismay at

the ignorance.

 

I can tell you that at a patriot meeting someone pointed out  the leader of

a nationwide organization that deals with juries. I thought this would

provide me a great opportunity  to introduce myself.  As I approached the

man from his left side with my hand extended (he didn't even turn his head

to look at me,) but aggressively said to me, "I know who your are!" I was

shocked and stepped back, wondering if he had me confused with somebody

else. So I tried another approach of telling him how many of his followers

are also  followers of J.A.I.L., to which before I could complete the

sentence again said, "I know who you are. You are making the judges angry

and we want the judges to be our friends." I said to myself, "WOW, he does

know who I am, and apparently he is angry with me because I am upsetting the

judges."  In other words, an enemy of the judges is an enemy of his, and he

is a "patriot" leader. Never once did he ever turn his head to look at me.

 

Another well-known patriot leader said of me, "I don't know what the answer

is, but this one thing I do know, it isn't JAIL4Judges!"

 

So here is my preception of the "patriot movement." They seek for what they

shall never find, i.e. an appropriate leader among them, because they have

no heart for the truth. Well spoken are the words to Ezekiel, "Son of man,

thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see,

and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious

house." Ezekiel 12:2. Christ referred thereto in His Words, "For this

people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their

eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and

hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be

converted, and I should heal them." Matthew 13:15.

 

These are people who are "Ever learning, and never able to come to the

knowledge of the truth." II Timothy 3:7. They are full of ideas, but they're

totally devoid of discernment and indeed lack focus! They have a zeal for

action, but not according to knowledge. They are "Sheeple" wandering about

without a shepherd; they are the blind leading the blind.

 

I cry out, "When, oh when will they open their eyes and hear with their

ears? And when will they allow the truth to penetrate their hearts?"

We Haven’t Seen Anything Yet!

 

 

The real US financial crisis has yet to begin

 

Editorial Desk

http://www.nationmultimedia.com/  The Nation (Thailand)

Publication Date: 23-03-2009    

         

During his visit to London more than a week ago, Thai Prime Minister Abhisit

Vejjajiva got the impression from business people and investors there that the United States did not have enough political will to take on its banking crisis once and for all. They told Abhisit that if the US had recognized the total estimated losses of the banking system and come up with the money to plug the leaking hole, it would have restored confidence and set the stage for an economic recovery. This sounds plausible, but the whole point is how much of the losses of the US banking system can really be quantified. Is it US $30 trillion, US $50 trillion or more?

 

The size of the US financial bubble that has gone bust is so large that it is impossible to quantify the losses due to the lack of transparency. The US banks,

backed by the power of the Federal Reserve to issue paper currency without any limit, had over the past several decades gone global in raising money, issuing debts and all kinds of instruments in their proprietary trading and investment. They had several dozen times over-leveraged their capital. Wall Street and US banks' easy money, fuelled by a low interest-rate policy during the Greenspan era, created a bubble economy.

 

In fact, it is not totally correct to assume that the current problem can be traced back to the Greenspan era alone. The US has walked away from manufacturing since the 1970s and shifted its policy toward consumption and financial services, backed by its superpower status to issue paper currency. The dollar has been floated around the world to become the de facto medium of international transactions without presumably any cost.

 

The US consumers went on a consumption binge, enjoying one of the world's best

living standards. Wall Street executives made filthy bonuses every year. The Wall Street model has become the fixation of American business - how to make quick money from thin air.

 

But we all know that there is no free lunch. The dollar paper issued to the creditor institutions, funds and sovereign governments worldwide is now starting to backfire. The global economic imbalances, characterised by overconsumption in the US and overproduction by the emerging-market economies, including Japan, are now going through a correction.

 

US over-consumed by issuing debt to finance its consumption, while other countries re-channeled their reserves back to the US so that US consumers

would continue to buy their cheap goods. Now exports to the US have collapsed. Creditors are shying away from subscribing to US debt. They are cutting losses in their US dollar asset holdings.

 

The US banks have made things worse by offering easy lending to the real-estate sector. Real-estate loans were bundled as mortgage-backed securities, on top of

which other dubious financial products were created. This is not to mention other financial products that US banks have issued like currency only because they have their brand names attached. Currency and paper are treated without any difference. The bubble was in full swing until the sub-prime debacle hit the US in August 2007. After that the US financial system and the US economy started to go downhill.

 

The US banks and financial institutions have been relying on the Federal Reserve's

Temporary Auction Facility to raise their liquidity. They have been facing a run, with foreign depositors and scared individuals withdrawing their money. Without the Fed's intervention with liquidity, US banks and financial institutions would have been totally broken down by now.

 

But the worst has yet to come. With a loss of confidence in the US financial

system, creditors and investors are dumping dollar-denominated instruments.

They are willing to cut losses. The US banks, who issue the instruments, have to take their debts back. Since they do not have the liquidity because the credit market has already ground to a halt, they can only rely on the Federal Reserve. As a result, the balance sheet of the Federal Reserve will continue to balloon.

 

US Treasuries, traditionally recognized as risk free, are now under pressure. Russia,

China, India and other countries are discussing a possibility of dumping the US dollar as a reserve currency. They have proposed a return to the Special Drawing Rights issued by the International Monetary Fund.

 

In the meantime, the US federal government will find it tough to finance its deficit spending. Recent projects have put the deficit for 2009 at a record US $1.8 trillion. This would complicate President Obama's efforts to pass his US $3.55 trillion budget plan for 2010. The deficit would continue for several years to come. Where will this money come from?

 

The US won't be able to finance the deficit of this magnitude. The US Treasury

doesn't have any money. The Americans are also losing their savings and

investments in the meltdown of the stock market by at least 50 per cent last

year alone. They are also saddled with consumer and mortgage debt. So the US ends up with only two options left: Borrowing from the foreign creditors or resorting to the printing press.

 

Under the current condition, foreign creditors will be more cautious or unwilling to subscribe to US debt. They already have toxic financial instruments in the books of their banks more than they can handle. So the US has only one option left, which is to inflate away the debt by printing money. By doing so, the  US Treasury will issue bonds directly to the Federal Reserve, which will issue the money in return. The Treasury will use the money to meet its budget or other spending obligations.

 

This US money-printing, the Bank of England, the Swiss National Bank, the Bank of Japan, have warned is threatening hyperinflation afterward. The dollar will head for a decline.

Not long ago, J.A.I.L. placed out to its readership a printed story about “Jailing Kids For Cash.” This story has caused a public outrage that has now hit the national television media. 20/20 on ABC has shown a story on this on their 20/20 program, and trailers of this program may be seen as per below.

 

Attorney Gary Zerman of JAIL4Judges has placed out the following;

 

 

To All:

 

If you missed it, check out the below ABC 20/20 video re corrupt & dastardly juvenile court judges from Wilkes-Barre, PA. 

 

Note the claim about the "corruption of silence."  BUNK! Maybe a fraction is true, but the real truth is/was, many knew but were scared of the power the judges have.

 

Similar to the pedophile priests, even our CHILDREN are not safe with these guys.

 

And if you think it's just this case limited to Wiles-Barre, PA, you had better wake up.  This and similar corruption runn'n rampant.  It is manifest.

 

Thanks goes to Dr. Shirley Moore, who sent the link to me.

 

There is no one left to blame - but the judges/judiciary.

Banks Starting to Walk Away on Foreclosures

 http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/30/us/30walkaway.html?pagewanted=1&_r=2&fta=y]

 

By SUSAN SAULNY

Published: March 29, 2009

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Mercy James thought she had lost her rental property here to foreclosure. A date for a sheriff’s sale had been set, and notices about the foreclosure process were piling up in her mailbox.

Skip to next paragraph Ms. James had the tenants move out, and soon her white house at the corner of Thomas and Maple Streets fell into the hands of looters and vandals, and then, into disrepair. Dejected and broke, Ms. James said she salvaged but a lesson from her loss.

So imagine her surprise when the City of South Bend contacted her recently, demanding that she resume maintenance on the property. The sheriff’s sale had been canceled at the last minute, leaving the property title — and a world of trouble — in her name.

“I thought, ‘What kind of game is this?’ ” Ms. James, 41, said while picking at trash at the house, now so worthless the city plans to demolish it — another bill for which she will be liable.

City officials and housing advocates here and in cities as varied as Buffalo, Kansas City, Mo., and Jacksonville, Fla., say they are seeing an unsettling development: Banks are quietly declining to take possession of properties at the end of the foreclosure process, most often because the cost of the ordeal — from legal fees to maintenance — exceeds the diminishing value of the real estate.

The so-called bank walkaways rarely mean relief for the property owners, caught unaware months after the fact, and often mean additional financial burdens and bureaucratic headaches. Technically, they still owe on the mortgage, but as a practicality, rarely would a mortgage holder receive any more payments on the loan. The way mortgages are bundled and resold, it can be enormously time-consuming just trying to determine what company holds the loan on a property thought to be in foreclosure.

In Ms. James’s case, the company that was most recently servicing her loan is now defunct. Its parent company filed for bankruptcy and dissolved. And the original bank that sold her the loan said it could not find a record of it.

“It is what some of us think is the next wave of the crisis,” said Kermit Lind, a clinical professor at the Cleveland-Marshall College of Law and an expert on foreclosure law.

For older industrial cities like South Bend, hard times in the mortgage market began before the recent national downturn, as did the problem of bank walkaways. In the case of Ms. James, a home health care administrator, the foreclosure proceedings began in the summer of 2007, when she could not keep up with the adjustable rate on her mortgage.

In Buffalo, where officials said the problem had reached “epidemic” proportions in recent months, the city sued 37 banks last year, claiming they were responsible for the deterioration of at least 57 abandoned homes; the city chose a sampling of houses to include in the lawsuit, even though the banks had walked away from many more foreclosures. So far, five banks have settled.

In Kansas City, Rachel Foley, a lawyer who handles housing cases, said bank walkaways were “a rare occurrence two to three years ago.”

“We’re seeing them dumped more and more at the moment,” she said.

Experts suggest the bank walkaways are most visible in states where foreclosures are processed through the courts and therefore tend to be more transparent. Other states, like Indiana and New York, have court-mandated foreclosures, but roughly half of the states allow foreclosures to proceed without court intervention, making it difficult to accurately count the number of bank walkaways in recent months.

The soft housing market and the vandalism that often occurs when a house sits empty are the two main factors influencing the mortgage holders’ decisions to walk away, said Larry Rothenberg, a lawyer for Weltman, Weinberg & Reis, one of the larger creditors’ rights firms in the country.

“Oftentimes when the foreclosure starts out, it’s a viable property,” Mr. Rothenberg said, “but by the time it gets to a sheriff’s sale, it might not have enough value to justify further expense. We’ve always had cases where property was vandalized or lost value, but they were rare compared to these times.”

The problem seems most acute at the bottom of the market — houses that were inexpensive to begin with — and with investment properties, where investors and banks want speedy closure by writing off bad loans as losses. Banks and investors typically lose 40 percent to 50 percent of their investment on every foreclosure.

Skip to next paragraphGuy Cecala, publisher of Inside Mortgage Finance, an industry newsletter, said some properties had become such liabilities for investors that it was not even worth holding on to them to strip valuable fixtures, like kitchen appliances, toilets and hardware.

“The whole purpose of foreclosure is to take title of the property, sell it and recoup what money you can,” Mr. Cecala said. “It’s just a sign of the times that things are so bad no one wants to take possession of the property.”

In South Bend, boarded-up houses for whom no one has stepped forward are dotting the landscape, adding a fresh layer of blight to communities that were already scarred from the area’s industrial decline.

The city is hoping to create a new type of legal mediation process that would bring together the homeowners and the mortgage holders to settle their disputes while allowing the owners to remain in the home — considered crucial to any stabilization effort.

“I’d say in the last three or four months, we’ve seen dozens of these cases,” said Chuck Leone, the South Bend city attorney. “We see it one of two ways. One is that the bank will simply dismiss the foreclosure complaint. The other is that the mortgage holder will follow through and take a judgment of foreclosure, but then not schedule the property for sheriff’s sale.”

In Ms. James’s case, it has been impossible to determine who canceled the sheriff’s sale, since her last mortgage holder went out of business. Even the city clerk’s records did not provide an answer.

“Nobody has any idea who owns what or who’s responsible,” said Judy Fox, Ms. James’s lawyer at the Notre Dame Legal Aid Clinic. “It’s a very common story.”

Mayor Stephen J. Luecke of South Bend added: “It’s just a crime the way it puts people in limbo. They first off have gone through the grief of losing their house, then they move out and find out that they still own it and have responsibility for it.”

In Jacksonville, Fla., Sylvester Kimbrough Jr. found himself caught in the limbo between foreclosure and ownership last year, 10 years into his 30-year mortgage on a $42,000 two-bedroom house.

Mr. Kimbrough, 56, a former driver for a car dealership who is now unemployed, had already moved out when he learned that the foreclosure had been stopped.

“That move really almost destroyed us,” Mr. Kimbrough said. “It was all for nothing.”

Immunity claim really nothing to sneeze at

mguydish@...  

http://www.timesleader.com/opinion/columnists/guydish/Immunity_claim_really_nothing_to_sneeze_at_MARK_GUYDISH_OPINION_04-02-2009.html

Oh how I yearn to make medical treatment work the way justice does in the mind of disgraced former Judge Mark Ciavarella. Imagine the ability to declare immunity no matter what health problem you create.

Doctor: “Frankly, your reckless participation in contact sports has caused severe premature arthritic joints.”

Me: “Oh, don’t be silly, doctor, I’m immune to arthritis. Why else do you think I was so reckless?”

Doctor: “I see. Well, your heavy use of alcohol has resulted in cirrhosis.”

Me: “I’m immune to cirrhosis as well. I wouldn’t have kept drinking like a sot gone wild otherwise.”

Doctor: “Ummm … Really … and those clotted arteries from your horrendous diet of lard and milk shakes?”

Me: “Obviously I would never have indulged like that if I weren’t immune.”

Doctor: “And the hypertension from putting extra salt on the pound of potato chips you ate daily?”

Me: “I can’t have helped caused my own high blood pressure, I’m immune.”

Doctor: “So, you believe that, even if you deliberately abuse your health, you’re immune to consequences?”

Me: “Of course! If it works in a courtroom, why not in my own life?”

Ciavarella has become the man who admits guilt while denying wrongdoing. He’s our version of Hollywood’s Terminator: Every time you think he’s done and over with, he pops up acting like you barely scratched him.

His latest legal claim: Utter immunity from a civil lawsuit, even if his actions with children in juvenile court were done corruptly. It sounds outlandish. Unfortunately, while I’m certainly no expert in legal nuance, the cases he cites suggest he’s right.

It has worked before

Reading these things gets a little scary, if you thought no one is above the law in the U.S. For example, Ciavarella cites a 1978 U.S. Supreme Court case called Stump v. Sparkman. A mother petitioned an Indiana court to let her sterilize her “somewhat retarded daughter.” Without a hearing or telling the daughter, the judge agreed. The daughter was sterilized under the ruse of having an appendix removed. Later, when married and unable to have children, she learned the truth and sued. The Supreme Court decided the circuit judge had ruled within his jurisdiction and thus was immune from liability “even if his approval of the petition was in error.”

There’s another case involving a segregated bus terminal in Mississippi, but the main ruling bolstering Ciavarella is Bradley v. Fisher in 1871, which involved a man connected to the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. A judge and lawyer got into a bit of a spat. The judge ruled the lawyer’s name be stricken from rolls of attorneys authorized to practice before that court. The lawyer sued. The Supreme Court ruled, as Ciavarella’s paperwork notes, that judges aren’t liable even if their actions “are alleged to have been done maliciously or corruptly.”

Like I said, I’m no expert. But it’s interesting to note that Ciavarella’s paperwork, as well as rulings in the case he cites, talk about judicial immunity as “doctrine” and “established principal,” but not as black letter law or a Constitutional right.

It’s also worth noting that the Supreme Court justices made a strong case for such immunity in Bradley v. Fisher. I’m posting it on my blog at http://www.timesleader.com/. The suit filed against him, on the other hand, argues that his actions in juvenile court struck at the very heart of the Constitution. I’m eager to see it play out.

The issue is as epic as the plague, the outcome as important as the polio vaccine.

Officials mull suing two judges

 

Suit against disgraced pair depends, in part, on realistic possibility of recouping funds, county solicitor said.

Luzerne County Reporter

 

http://www.timesleader.com/news/hottopics/judges/Officials_mull_suing_two_judges_04-02-2009.html

Taxpayers are also victims in Luzerne County’s judicial corruption scandal, and county officials are exploring the possibility of a lawsuit to recoup damages.

County officials stress that they will only turn to litigation if there’s a solid legal argument and likelihood of obtaining money, especially if the county can’t find lawyers willing to take a suit on contingency.

County Solicitor Vito DeLuca said the administration has indicated it “doesn’t want to throw good money after bad.” Commissioners would have to vote before filing suit, he said.

One possible avenue is suing former judges Mark Ciavarella and Michael Conahan to recoup county funds spent on the placement and treatment of juveniles who will have their records erased by the state Supreme Court, DeLuca said.

Thousands of juveniles charged with certain minor offenses may fall into this category, in large part because they did not have legal representation when they appeared before Ciavarella.

“If these juveniles were detained unnecessarily and we paid to put them in placement, obviously taxpayers should recoup that money,” said Commissioner Chairwoman Maryanne Petrilla. “I think we should at least explore the possibility of recouping that money.”

DeLuca said more research is needed before pursuing this type of litigation because judges have immunity in acts performed as part of their duties.

This immunity doesn’t cover judges for acts performed off the bench, including administrative decisions, DeLuca said. That’s why another possibility is suing the former judges for conspiring to close the old county-owned detention center.

Conahan and Ciavarella are awaiting sentencing on guilty pleas for accepting $2.6 million in kickbacks in exchange for actions that led to the county’s use of privately-owned PA Child Care centers in Pittston Township and western Pennsylvania.

Shortly before the Pittston Township center’s opening in 2003, then-president judge Conahan announced that he would no longer send juveniles to the county-owned River Street detention center. Conahan stripped funding for the 16 county detention center workers from his budget and returned the county detention center license to the state, even though the state said the county-owned building met licensing requirements.

Minority Commissioner Stephen A. Urban supports this type of suit, noting that the federal complaint against Conahan also revealed that he signed a placement guarantee agreement in January 2002 saying the court would pay PA Child Care $1.314 million a year in rent and that these payments "shall be absolute and unconditional."

A suit could recover the additional money that had to be spent on detention as a result of the closure of the county’s River Street facility, Urban said.

DeLuca said the county may have a strong case pursuing damages caused by the closure of the old center.

“It would be a valid cause of action, assuming we could show that there was a conspiratorial action taken by one or more defendants to force the county to have to go out and find another facility,” DeLuca said.

DeLuca said taxpayers may also have to foot some of the bill for litigation now that the county has been added as a defendant in one of three lawsuits filed in connection with the scandal involving the two former judges.

The county’s liability insurance would cover legal representation and damages up to $1 million or $2 million, but the county would be responsible for a $50,000 deductible and damages beyond the cap, Urban said.

County officials plan to argue that the county has no liability because judges are supervised by the state Supreme Court. Commissioners have no supervisory control over the judges and their policies.

Because the state also covered much of the cost of detention and placement, DeLuca said he will consult with state agencies to determine if they’d want to enjoin a county suit.

The two former judges aren’t the only potential targets of a suit, though DeLuca declined to name other possibilities.

“One of the main focuses of my research is to try to determine all the parties that may be liable because the more parties we could determine are liable to the county, the more likely we’d be able to recover something,” DeLuca said.

Commissioners would seek a law firm willing to represent the county at little or no cost in exchange for a percentage of any damages obtained, DeLuca said. If no firms bite, commissioners would have to weigh the cost of litigation against the likely recovery, he said.

It’s difficult in Pennsylvania to enforce a judgment against one person when the assets are also in the name of that person’s spouse, he said.

“It’s not completely impossible, but it’s a very, very difficult process,” DeLuca said.

PS – Along this line, Ron Branson, author of JAIL4Judges, received a call from two District Attorney Deputies from the County of Los Angeles regarding their filing a criminal complaint against two L.A. Superior Court judges whom they sought criminal prosecution. However, these defendant judges were being protected by other judges through the doctrine of judicial immunity. I told the District Attorney Deputies that there is no theory in law that judges are protected from criminal prosecution by judicial immunity. But, of course, this is precisely where things head when it is found acceptable by judges to cloth all judges with judicial immunity. “Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?” I Corinthians 5:6. Indeed, if a select few are above the law, then all are above the law!

Calif. Court Perks All Over the Map

http://www.law.com/jsp/article.jsp?id=1202429690020

Cheryl Miller
The Recorder
April 6, 2009

 

Faced with staggering budget cuts and multimillion-dollar cost overruns, California's judiciary leaders this spring will consider employee layoffs, furloughs and cutbacks to traditionally sacrosanct programs like courthouse security.

But for judges in 19 courts across the state, the scenario won't be nearly so bleak. Court executives there will dip into their operating budgets and spend a combined $3 million on judicial perks ranging from car allowances to family gym memberships.

And no matter how bad the judiciary's cash crunch grows, no one -- save a reluctant Legislature -- can strip away the judges' court-provided benefits.

It's the law.

Adopted amid a contentious, marathon budget-fixing session in February, Senate Bill 11XX authorized counties to continue paying employee benefits to judges on top of the full range of extras the state already offers. Most of the public scrutiny focused on Los Angeles County, which offers local jurists an extra $46,000 in benefits annually.

Less noticed was a provision in the bill that also requires courts that provide supplemental judicial benefits to continue doing so. And unlike counties, courts can't opt out of the payments.

"When bills come up for a floor vote without a lot of committee review, they're often passed off as routine," said Assemblyman Chuck DeVore, R-Irvine, one of only a handful of legislators to vote against SB 11XX.

"And lawmakers are not in the habit of doing a lot of oversight of the judiciary," DeVore said.

California pays all trial court judges $178,789 a year plus a benefit package that includes health, dental and vision coverage, life insurance, a pension plan and a self-funded retirement account. Los Angeles and 11 other counties pay for additional perks . Of the 19 courts that offer their own supplemental benefits, many provide more generous health plans that include more local doctors. Others match what county executives receive, even if it appears to duplicate what the state already offers. ….

Judge Gets $10,000 Bribe -

Innocent Man Gets 23 Years on Death Row

 

 

Judge's injustice is righted—23 years later

A bribe-taking judge sentenced Nathson Fields to die in 1986. In 2009: 'Not guilty'

By Matthew Walberg | Tribune reporter

April 9, 2009

The courtroom was silent Wednesday when Circuit Judge Vincent Gaughan acquitted Nathson Fields of murder, a quiet final act for an infamous murder case involving judicial corruption unprecedented even for Chicago's sordid history of graft and greed.

Years ago, a trial judge had taken a $10,000 bribe to fix this very case for Fields, a convicted killer and former El Rukn gang leader.

Wednesday, when Gaughan swiftly acquitted him of the gang hit, the 55-year-old Fields slowly walked over to his family, hugging his brother, Nathaniel, whose tears streamed down his cheeks.

"I love you so much," Nathaniel Fields said as he clasped his brother in a bear hug. "Damn!"

The result was starkly different from 1986 when Fields first went on trial for the double murder.

Judge Thomas J. Maloney, a tough former boxer with a reputation as a law-and-order advocate during 13 years in Criminal Court, pocketed a $10,000 bribe to acquit Fields and a co-defendant. But during the trial, Maloney sensed authorities were onto the fix and handed the bribe money back to a corrupt lawyer at a side door to his courtroom, federal prosecutors contended. The judge then convicted Fields and co-defendant Earl Hawkins of both murders and sentenced them to death.

Maloney was convicted and served more than a dozen years in prison for fixing three murder trials in all, but he died at 83 last October a few months after his release from prison, still defiant in his claims of innocence.

His 1993 guilty verdict grew out of a federal sting code-named Operation Greylord that led to the conviction of 15 corrupt judges, but Maloney's crimes were unprecedented. He is the only Cook County judge ever convicted of rigging murder cases.

After Maloney's conviction, Fields was granted a new trial in 1998, but he remained incarcerated until another former Death Row inmate, Aaron Patterson, bailed him out in 2003. Fields spent nearly two decades behind bars, including more than 11 years on Death Row.

In recent years, the case against Fields has languished in the courts. His retrial came more than a decade after his first conviction was overturned because of Maloney's corruption.

Prosecutors wanted to put on testimony of Fields' alleged involvement in Maloney's bribery, but Gaughan blocked that evidence, prompting a lengthy, unsuccessful appeal by prosecutors.

In another key development, Hawkins flipped on his former El Rukn cohort, agreeing to testify against Fields in exchange for a plea to a lesser crime.

The two murder victims—Jerome "Fuddy" Smith and Talman Hickman, both reputed members of the Black Gangster Disciples' Goon Squad—were gunned down in 1984 outside a public housing development in the 700 block of East 39th Street.

Fields had already finished serving about a dozen years in prison for an unrelated murder conviction when the double slaying occurred.

The bench trial before Gaughan began a quarter century later—this February—and was held off-and-on since then with lengthy breaks. After listening to closing arguments Wednesday, the judge immediately issued his verdict from the bench.

He said he found Hawkins, the state's key witness, unbelievable.

During the trial, Fields' attorneys hammered at Hawkins for once admitting he would say anything to get off Death Row. But Gaughan didn't hold that against Hawkins, saying that only "Mother Teresa and a few other people would say they wouldn't lie to get off of Death Row."

More important to Gaughan was Hawkins' admission to his involvement in the murders of 15 to 20 people during his days as a general in the powerful El Rukn street gang.

"If someone has such disregard for human life, what regard will he have for his oath?" Gaughan said. "I find him incredible."

Prosecutors declined to comment after the verdict, but Fields talked about his future plans. He said he hopes to start a construction company with Patterson, despite the fact that Patterson is serving a 30-year sentence in federal prison for gun and drug convictions.

"I feel like my prayers have been answered," Fields said. "It's been 24 years of this ordeal for my family and my friends, and now with it coming to an end, it's like a dream come true."

Fields said he may go on a vacation. "Somewhere on the West Coast," he said. "I've never seen an ocean, never seen any mountains. I'm kind of behind on that kind of stuff."

Dear Tax Day Tea Party Leadership:

 

Here is the problem. Unless the remedy involves the following four criteria, we are spinning our wheels. The remedy must center upon;

 

1.     Judicial accountability

2.     directly to the People

3.     in the forum of a Grand Jury

4.     on the issue of judicial immunity.

 

Through this means all the states’ Attorney Generals will be forced to take action against the Federal Reserve Banking system because no state can collect a tax that is not nominated in gold and silver coin, Art. I, Sec. 10. Once the Federal Reserve collapses, so will the IRS.

 

What’s more, the Grand Jury is our most powerful tool established by our founding fathers against a tyrannical government. However, we have allowed the “government” to take away our Grand Jury club and use that club upon ourselves. The only cure for this is to reinstitute our own Special Grand Juries under our control to restore a government back to the People.

 

Furthermore, it is a given that so long as one branch of the government, the judiciary, is covered by immunity, all other government force will govern under immunity - for where immunity exists, there can be no accountability.

 

Every other “remedy” that overlooks these four fundamentals for freedom are unavailing and will result in frustration and ultimate anarchy. Anarchy is not a remedy, but a logical conclusion of the lack of a remedy. All the demonstrations in the world cannot avail in the absence of these four criteria.

 

Challenges to my assertion that we have the absolute need for;  judicial accountability, directly to the People, through a Special Grand Jury, on issue of judicial immunity, are welcomed.

Subject: Alert: Tax Day Tea Party in Your Town

 

        Dear Liberty Dollar Supporters:

 

      Please support the Tea Party's national tax day protest on April 15.

      Please visit http://taxdayteaparty.com/ to find the nearest Tea Party and take action!

 

      What is this Tea Party effort all about?

      The Tea Party effort is just a small piece of a much larger movement aimed at restoring the basic free-market principles our country was built on. The Constitution, for the most part, is being ignored by our current government and we intend on working together to correct the problem.

 

      The Tea Party effort is a grassroots, collaborative volunteer organization made up of every day American citizens from across the country. We take pride in the fact that we've built a 50 state network of leaders and activists using nothing more than the internet, a few websites and a burning desire to restore freedom.

 

      Toby Marie Walker, the Tea Party organizer in Waco Texas says, "Our representatives have forgotten who they represent, what the Constitution says, and that WE are THEIR boss. We surround them, we put them in office and together we can send them home."

 

      "Don't underestimate the power of a ticked off taxpayer. It only takes one person to stand up, after that many will stand with you.

Embezzling From The Embezzlers

Former State Bar Employee Charged With Embezzlement

By a MetNews Staff

Writer

Attorney General Jerry Brown has filed seven criminal charges against a former State Bar employee from Oakland over her alleged embezzlement of $675,000 from the organization.

 

Brown filed one count of embezzlement and six counts of filing false tax returns against Sharon Elyce Pearl, 51, Monday in the Alameda Superior Court. She faces up to nine years in prison if convicted of all counts.

 

Pearl served as the State Bar’s director of real property, and was responsible for collecting rent from tenants who leased retail space in the building housing the association’s headquarters in San Francisco. The complaint alleges Pearl directed tenants to make rent checks payable to “PLOT-The State Bar of California” as early as 2002, and deposited them into accounts held by the Piedmont Light Opera

Theatre, upon which she was a signatory. She then allegedly transferred the funds to her personal bank account.

 

Brown said Pearl used the embezzled funds to pay for “spa treatments, designer clothes, lavish meals and fancy hotel rooms.”

 

In a release, he said the State Bar did not keep track of the rent payments it was owed and did not discover the embezzlement until Pearl requested a check for a tenant’s security deposit refund. When no record indicating the State Bar actually received the deposit could be found, the organization launched an investigation which discovered Pearl was keeping two sets of books. The investigation was then referred to the Attorney General’s Special Crimes Unit for prosecution. Pearl has agreed to surrender to authorities on Monday, Brown’s office said.

Faithful Word Pastor

Tortured For His Stand on Principles

Phoenix New Times

Pastor Claims Abuse at Border Patrol Checkpoint on Interstate 8

By Ray Stern in News

Thursday, Apr. 16 2009 @ 12:24PM

http://blogs.phoenixnewtimes.com/valleyfever/2009/04/phoenix_pastor_claims_abuse_at.php

 

A local Baptist pastor who was left bloodied and indignant Tuesday night after a stop at the Border Patrol's checkpoint on eastbound Interstate 8 wonders in a recent video, "Why is this happening in the United States of America?"

New Times readers who remember our February 2008 article on the infamous checkpoint know the answer: Because of a disputed -- but still potent -- U.S. Supreme Court ruling.

As the article states, the Border Patrol was granted an exception to normal Fourth Amendment procedures, allowing the agency to set up checkpoints with trained dogs on any road within 100 miles of the international border. Funding for drug-and-human-sniffing dogs increased after the 9/11 attacks, resulting in thousands of recreational pot users -- and few criminals or illegal immigrants -- getting busted at the Interstate 8 checkpoint.

Pastor Steven Anderson of the Faithful Word Baptist Church, 2707 West Southern Avenue in Tempe, presumably doesn't use drugs or smuggle undocumented workers into the country. His offense was to demand a Constitutional right that doesn't apply near the border.

In a YouTube video Anderson made and posted yesterday, the pastor narrates a tale that should send chills down the spine of any American.

While driving through the checkpoint, located about 70 miles east of Yuma, a Border Patrol dog "alerted" to the pastor's vehicle, and agents instructed him to pull his car over to an inspection area. Anderson refused, claiming the dog had seemed mellow and that the agents had no right to search him. Agents blocked his path for an hour until an officer from the Arizona Department of Public Safety showed up, Anderson says.

Anderson's Web site photo

The lawmen broke his vehicle's windows with hammers, shot him with a Taser and threw him to the ground, he says.

"He's got his foot on my head," Anderson says of one officer. "I'm shot by more Tasers again... They're just torturing me with these Tasers again and again."

Anderson doesn't make it clear who's doing the brutalizing, whether Border Patrol agents or state troopers or both. His vehicle was searched, but no contraband was found, he says.

His forehead bleeding from cuts, Anderson was arrested and driven to an urgent care facility in Yuma. A DPS trooper ignored his desperate pleas to be allowed to urinate until Anderson was in pain, he says.

The pastor received 11 stitches and spent the night in jail. He has an arraignment tomorrow at 10 a.m. in Yuma, at which he'll plead not guilty to whatever charge they try to throw at him.

Perhaps God will be on his side, even if the Supreme Court isn't.

 

U.S. Supreme Court:

“The general rule is that an unconstitutional statute, though having the form and name of law, is in reality no law, but is wholly void, and ineffective for any purpose; since unconstitutionality dates from the time of its enactment, and not merely from the date of the decision so branding it. An unconstitutional law, in legal contemplation, is as inoperative as if it had never been passed. Such a statute leaves the question that it purports to settle just as it would be had the statute not been enacted.

 

Since an unconstitutional law is void, the general principles follow that it imposes no duties, confers no rights, creates no office, bestows no power or authority on anyone, affords no protection, and justifies no acts performed under it…

 

A void act cannot be legally consistent with a valid one. An unconstitutional law cannot operate to supersede any existing valid law. Indeed, insofar as a statute runs counter to the fundamental law of the land, it is superseded thereby.

 

No one is bound to obey an unconstitutional law and no courts are bound to enforce it.”

Church Seized for Refusing to Incorporate

 

 

 

 

Yes, Tom, it sounds like you are after case experiences of which I personally have a few. In the past days when I litigated cases, I brought suit in a particular which  was assigned to Judge Manuel Real here in Los Angeles. (You should find a load of case on him.)

 

He wound up dismissing my case seven days after it was filed, and none of the defendants were served or even knew there was a case filed against them. I filed a 59(e) motion which reopened the dismissed case, and served the defendants in the meantime. Again, a few days later I received the paperwork back and a notice from the clerk that my case had been dismissed. I took the paperwork back downtown refilled it with notice that my 59(e) motion was currently pending before Manual Real, and I gave the date of the pending litigation. In the meantime, since I noticed the date of the pending motion purposely beyond the date that the defendants were required to answer, I filed a default against all of the defendants inasmuch as none responded in the case.

 

Judge Manuel Real then told the clerk not to file the entry of default, although the law states that the Clerk of the Court shall enter default if a plaintiff petitions for it after the date provided for answer, and there be not answer on file. Thus, he ordered the default clerk to violate the law passed by Congress, which she did.

 

I showed up for the 59(e) motion, where he “decided” to reaffirm his prior judgment of dismissal, saying, “If you need transportation to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, I will provide the bus fare.”

 

I filed an appeal with the Ninth Circuit, and the U.S. Attorney made an appearance on paper opposing my appeal. I argued that this was a default case with no appearance by any of the defendants and that no one could now appear for the very first time on the case on appeal. Furthermore, I pointed out that since the only people who had received the appellate brief were the justices themselves, how did anyone outside of the justices know to make an appearance. I suggested that perhaps the U.S. Attorney drove up to San Francisco and broke into the Ninth Circuit during the night wearing a black bandana and located which file drawer the justices’ briefs were in and used a pry bar and stole one of the briefs and answered it by the instant appearance. I then stated that if this scenario was incorrect, then there had to be a conspiracy by at least one of the justices hearing the appeal to give a copy to the U.S. Attorney so he could oppose it.

 

Ultimately and “strangely” the Ninth Circuit affirmed Manuel Real’s dismissal of my case and the dismissal of my petition for default against all of the defendants even though this same Ninth Circuit twice on record reprimanded Judge Manuel Real for this same conduct of dismissing cases before the defendants were even served.

 

This made it his third act of willful misconduct on the record, and I filed a criminal complaint with the U.S. Attorney for willfully violating the Ninth Circuit Court orders to follow due process.  

 

I then filed a Title 28 U.S.C. §372(c) for judicial misconduct against the three justices who affirmed and covered for Manuel Real clear misconduct. I then filed a second 372 against that panel for entering the conspiracy, which likewise affirmed the first panel. And lastly, a third panel against all, which was likewise dismissed. The bases for the dismissal was that I was challenging the decision of the court. But I raised the question of how a conspiracy of the justices with the U.S. Attorney in filing a opening brief in a default case was a “decision of the court,” arguing that this is clear collusion and misconduct, and had nothing to do with the decision of any court.

 

Ultimately, I sought to take it to the U.S. Conferences of Judges, but was barred from filing the complaint. I then took it to Congress where I was told to hire myself an attorney. I had Attorney Gary Zerman respond to the my Congressman’s statement that I should consult an attorney. They did “receive” my complaint that the system itself was not working where my case was languishing in a black hole for “eternity,” and no one could or would every answer the petition, which brings us full circle around to the need for the Federal Judicial Accountability Bill, which they now continually ignore.

Ron,

 

I found a list of horror stories posted on the site, but not a  directory

of rogue judges.  I may be looking at the wrong place, but the  links you

provided are email addresses.

 

I haven't worked up the first inductee, yet, but the format  will include

identifying info, name, court, appointment, etc., photo where  available,

followed by a general description of the abominable conduct with  links to

supporting document(s).  If you have any posts that would provide  that type of

story let me know. 

 

The ones we have now are those I've noted through my own  experiences, such

as the judge who, without motion or basis, dismissed a motion  to quash

summonses simply "because the government is opposed to the  petition".  He did

that after learning from DOJ that I had filed  interrogatories that would

force them to admit that a Special Agent had violated  the automatic stay

effected by the petition and attempted to deceive and then  intimidate the

summonsees to violate the stay.  There was no way to legally  dismiss the case

before answers were required, so he did it  illegally.

 

Another is the judge sitting on the Kotmair 6700 case who  totally

disregarded the fact that the government provided no support for it's  list of

"undisputed facts" set out in its MSJ and 21 affidavits filed in  opposition

proving a genuine dispute as to every one of them. 

 

Another is the judge sitting on the Benson book-burning case  who, when

Bill filed something like 64 exhibits establishing genuine fact issues  (no MSJ

possible) ordered all 64 exhibits struck and, since defendant "filed no 

opposing exhibits" granted the MSJ.

 

Still another is the judge who reshuffled the jury after  learning that one juror was afraid the government might be trying to "set her  up".  The twelve jurors were already seated and then two alternates subsequently selected.  At the end of the trial the judge decided to use a lottery system to select two new alternates over the objection of the  defendant.  The questionable woman's name was the first drawn and when the  defense attorney asked to examine the slips in the box the clerk held up a fist  of slips and said "Now you've seen them" and fled the courtroom.

 

One in St. Louis, during a side bar, held up a piece of paper  (that had

nothing to do with the comment) and loudly stated, within hearing of  the jury

"The IRS has already determined they are shams and we are not  going behind

that!!"

 

Last week, at the conclusion of a trial on a 14 felony count  indictment

the judge gave the defense counsel 15 minutes for closing  arguments.  It was

a complicated case and she gives him one minute per  count?

 

You might have heard of the trial of our infamous Edwin  Edwards, three

time governor of Louisiana, where when faced with a hung jury the  judge

determined that one juror was holding out against conviction so he removed  the

juror for failing to cooperate and replaced him with an alternate.  It  was

later learned that throughout the trial the judge was under the influence of 

powerful prescription drugs.  Edwards was a crook, no doubt, but if he 

isn't entitled to a fair trial then neither are we.

 

Each induction into the Hall of Shame will be followed by a  press release

to media in the judge's area publicizing his honor's new honor and  a copy

to the Court Admin Office.

 

I would bet ten bucks to a donut that you have a lot  more.  Gimme.

 

Tom

Also, I am posting below the Federal J.A.I.L. Bill  that has been presented

repeatedly to Congress and is awaiting for any  Congressman to pick it up

and run with. The problem is that the Congressmen  enjoy not having the

Federal Judiciary being a check and balance over them.  Thomas Jefferson said on

November 10, 1798,  “In questions of power, then, let no more be heard of

confidence in man, but  bind him down from mischief by the chains of the

Constitution.”  

 

Obviously, Congress does not like being bound down  from mischief by the

chains of the Constitution, so they entreat their jail keepers, the Federal

Judiciary, who are holding the keys to those chains, to  grant them leniency.

This is why there is a total conflict of interest in  pursuing a remedy

from Congress over the Federal Judiciary which is supposed  to hold Congress

accountable to the Constitution. It is very easy to figure  out.

Federal  Judicial Accountability 

&  Integrity Legislation 

(Federal Legislation - Version  9/1/03)

 

(a) Preamble. The House of  Representatives and Senate Assembled find: that

an inordinate and ever-growing  number of complaints for willful misconduct

have been lodged with Congress  involving federal judges across this

nation; that the current Title 28 U.S.C.  §372(c) (Judicial Misconduct and

Disability Act) is in many cases inadequate  due to conflicts of interest of judges

judging themselves; that judicial  integrity is of major importance which

affects all areas of our American  society. Be it therefore resolved that the

House of Representatives and Senate  Assembled hereby enact the following

legislation which shall be known as the  "Judicial  Accountability and

Integrity  Legislation."

(b)  Definitions. For  purposes of this statute:

1. The  term "blocking" shall mean any act that impedes the lawful

conclusion of a  case, to include unreasonable delay and willful rendering of a void

judgment  or order.

2. The  term "federal judge" or "judge" shall mean any federal justice,

judge,  magistrate, commissioner, or any person shielded by judicial  immunity.

3. The term "Juror" shall mean a Special Federal Grand  Juror.

4. The  term "strike" shall mean an adverse immunity decision based upon

bad behavior  as set forth by paragraph (c), or a criminal conviction as set

forth in  paragraph (r).

Where  appropriate, the singular shall include the plural, and the plural

the  singular.

(c) Immunity. Notwithstanding  common law or any other provision to the

contrary, no immunities shall be  extended to any federal judge except as is

specifically set forth in this  statute. Preserving the purpose of protecting

judges from frivolous and  harassing actions, no immunity shielding a federal judge shall be construed to  extend to any deliberate violation of law, fraud or conspiracy, intentional  violation of due process of law, deliberate disregard of material facts,  judicial acts without jurisdiction, blocking of a lawful conclusion of a case,  or any deliberate violation of the Constitution of these United States, all  violations of which shall constitute bad behavior.

(d) Special Federal Grand Jury.  There is hereby created within the District of Columbia a twenty-five member Special Federal Grand Jury with full federal geographical jurisdiction having power to judge on both law and fact. Their responsibility shall be limited to determining, on an objective standard, whether a civil suit against a federal  judge would be frivolous and harassing, or fall within the exclusions of immunity as set forth herein, and whether there is probable cause of criminal conduct by the federal judge complained of.

(e) Professional Counsel. The  Special Federal Grand Jury shall have exclusive power to retain  non-governmental advisors, special prosecutors, and investigators, as needed, who shall serve no longer than two years, after which term said officers shall  be ineligible. However, with permission of the Special Federal Grand Jury, a special prosecutor may prosecute their current cases through all appeals and any applicable complaints to the Special Federal Grand  Jury.

(f) Establishment of a Special Federal  Grand Jury Seat. A Special Federal

Grand Jury seat is hereby  created, which seat shall be located in excess of

one mile of any federal  judicial body. 

(g) Filing Fees. Attorneys  representing a client filing a civil complaint or answer before the Special  Federal Grand Jury, shall at the time of filing pay a fee equal to the filing  fee due in a civil appeal to the United States Supreme Court. Individuals  filing a civil complaint or answer before the Special Federal Grand Jury in  their own behalf as a matter of right, shall, at the time of filing, post a  fee of one hundred dollars, or file a declaration, which shall remain confidential, stating they are impoverished and unable to pay and/or object to such fee.

(h)  Annual Funding.   Should this statute lack sufficient funding through

its filing fees under paragraph (g), and fines imposed under paragraph (q),

which amount shall be deposited regularly into the exclusive trust account

created by this statute in paragraph (j) for its operational expenses, Congress shall impose appropriate surcharges upon the civil court filing fees of corporate litigants as necessary to make this statute self-supporting, or they may appropriate any  and all the necessary funds for the full implementation of this statute by legislation.

(i) Compensation of Jurors. Each  Juror shall receive a salary commensurate

to fifty percent of a federal  district judge prorated according to the

number of days actually served.  

(j) Annual Budget. The Special Federal Grand Jury shall have an annual

operational budget commensurate to twenty times the combined salaries of the

twenty-five Jurors serving full time, which sum shall be initially deposited by Congress into an exclusive  trust account to be annually administered by the Controller. Should the trust  balance, within any budget year, drop to less than an amount equivalent to the annual gross salaries of fifty federal district judges, the Controller shall so notify Congress which shall replenish the account, prorated based on the actual average expenditures during the budget year. Should the trust balance in any subsequent year exceed the annual operational budget at the beginning of a new budget year, the Controller shall return such excess to the United  States Treasury.

(k) Jurisdiction.    The Special Federal Grand Jury shall have exclusive power to establish rules assuring their attendance, to provide internal discipline, and to remove any of its members on grounds of misconduct. The Special Federal Grand Jury shall immediately assign a docket number to each complaint brought before it. Except  as provided in paragraph (r), no complaint of judicial misconduct shall be  considered by the Special Federal Grand Jury unless the complainant shall have  first attempted to exhaust all judicial remedies available in the federal courts within the immediately preceding six-month period. Such six-month period, however, shall not commence in complaints of prior fraud or blocking of a lawful conclusion until after the date the Special Federal Grand Jury becomes functional. This provision is

intended to apply remedially and  retroactively. 

(l) Qualifications of Jurors. A  Juror shall have attained to the age of thirty years, and have been nine years a citizen of the United  States, and an inhabitant of Washington, D.C. Those not eligible for Special Federal Grand Jury service shall include elected and appointed officials, members of the Bar, judges (active or retired), judicial, prosecutorial and law enforcement personnel, without other exclusion except previous adjudication of mental incapacity, imprisonment, or parole from a conviction of a felonious crime against persons.

(m) Selection of Jurors. The Jurors shall serve without compulsion and shall be drawn  by public lot  by the Secretary of State from names on the voters rolls and any citizen submitting his/her name to the Secretary of State for such drawing.

(n) Service of Jurors. Excluding  the establishment of the initial Special Federal Grand Jury, each Juror shall  serve one year. No Juror shall serve more than once. On the first day of each  month, two persons shall be rotated off the Special Federal Grand Jury and new  Citizens seated, except in January it shall be three. Vacancies shall be  filled on the first of the following month in addition to the Jurors regularly  rotated, and the Juror chosen to fill a vacancy shall complete only the  remainder of the term of the Juror replaced. 

(o) Procedures. The Special  Federal Grand Jury shall serve a copy of the

filed complaint upon the subject  judge and notice to the complainant of such

service. The judge shall have  thirty days to serve and file an answer. The

complainant shall have twenty  days to reply to the judge's answer. (Upon

timely request, the Special Federal  Grand Jury may provide for extensions

for good cause.) In criminal matters,  the Special Federal Grand Jury shall

have power to subpoena witnesses,  documents, and other tangible evidence, and

to examine witnesses under oath.  The Special Federal Grand Jury shall

determine the causes properly before it with their reasoned findings in writing

within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days, serving on all parties their decision on whether immunity shall be barred as a defense to any civil action that may thereafter be pursued  against the federal judge. A rehearing may be requested of the Special Federal  Grand Jury within twenty days with service upon the opposition. Twenty days  shall be allowed to reply thereto. Thereafter, the Special Federal Grand Jury  shall render final determination within thirty days. All allegations of the complaint shall be liberally construed in favor of the complainant. The Jurors shall keep in mind, in making their decisions, that they are entrusted by the  people of these United States with the duty of restoring a  perception of justice and accountability of the federal judiciary, and are not to be swayed by artful presentation by the federal judge. They shall avoid all  influence by judicial and government entities. The statute of limitations on  any civil suit brought pursuant to this statute against a federal judge shall  not commence until the rendering of a final decision by the Special Federal  Grand Jury. Special Federal Grand Jury files shall always remain public record following their final determination. A majority of thirteen shall determine  any matter.

(p) Removal. Whenever any  federal judge shall have received more than

three strikes, the federal judge  shall automatically be brought up on charges

before Congress for Articles of Impeachment by the Special Federal Grand

Jury through its special prosecutor for bad behavior and willful misconduct.

Congress thereafter shall commence to a vote on such Articles of Impeachment. Upon a conviction, the federal judge  shall be permanently removed from office. He may also be held liable under any  other appropriate criminal or civil proceeding.

(q) Indictment. Should the  Special Federal Grand Jury also find probable

cause of criminal conduct on the  part of any federal judge against whom a

complaint is docketed, it shall have  the power to indict such federal judge

except where double jeopardy attaches.  The Special Federal Grand Jury shall,

without voir dire beyond personal  impartiality, relationship, or linguistics, cause to be impaneled special  trial jurors, plus alternates, which trial jurors shall be instructed that  they have power to judge both law and fact. The Special Federal Grand Jury shall also select a non-governmental special prosecutor and a federal judge with no more than four years on the bench from a state other than that of the defendant judge, (or outside of the District of Columbia, if the case so be).  The trial jury shall be selected from the same pool of jury candidates as any regular federal jury. The special prosecutor shall thereafter prosecute the cause to a conclusion, having all the powers of any other prosecutor within  these United States. Upon conviction, the special trial  jury shall have exclusive power of sentencing (limited to incarceration, fines and/or community service), which shall be

derived by an average of the  sentences of the trial jurors.

(r) Criminal Procedures. In  addition to any other provisions of this

statute, a complaint for criminal  conduct of a federal judge may be brought

directly to the Special Federal  Grand Jury upon all the following

prerequisites: (1) an affidavit of criminal  conduct has been lodged with the appropriate prosecutorial entity within  ninety (90) days of the commission of the

alleged conduct; (2) the prosecutor  declines to prosecute, or one hundred

twenty (120) days has passed following  the lodging of such affidavit and

prosecution has not commenced; (3) an  indictment, if sought, has not been

specifically declined on the merits by a  Grand Jury; and (4) the criminal statute

of limitations has not run. Any  criminal conviction (including a plea

bargain) under any judicial process  shall constitute a strike.

(s) Public Indemnification. No  federal judge complained of, or sued

civilly by a complainant pursuant to this  statute shall be defended at public

expense or by any elected or appointed public counsel, nor shall any federal

judge be reimbursed from public funds  for any losses sustained under this

statute.

(t) Redress. The provisions of  this statute are in addition to other

redress that may exist and are not  mutually exclusive.

(u) Preeminence.   Preeminence shall be given to this statute in any case

of conflicts with any  other federal statutes, case law, or common law to the

contrary. The foreperson of the Special Federal Grand Jury shall read, or

cause to be read, this statute to the respective Jurors semi-annually

during the first week of  business in January and July.

Ron,

 

I'm attaching an opening for a new section of the  Truth Attack web site. It is aimed at federal judges and we have some judges  we're working up already.  But if we can get your people to report  abuses and asinine comments and actions of other federal judges we can expose them  to  ridicule and (heaven forbid) embarrassment they've earned.

 

We still have writers across the country ready to write and publish articles in the judge's neighborhood if only to report  that the judge  has earned a place of dishonor on the internet.

 

It is not rational for us to do nothing until we can hold  these godlets 

accountable by law.  We need to hold them accountable by any right we have.  

 

If we can add a right to call them down legally that will be great, but until then we need to use our right to call them down publicly. This is what I was talking about when I proposed that  your  network and organization can do a great deal of good if they will serve as the eyes and ears so we can serve as the voice, holding these  egomaniacal jerks out for public scorn.  A little public scorn won't hurt your efforts in obtaining legislation, either.

 

Thanks,

Can JAIL4Judges Help?

By Joseph Worrell – joseph.worrell@...

 

 

As a father and service member now deploying to the middle east, I wonder if the state and federal laws only apply against poor or unpopular folks. In any event, I definitely plan to file a federal action (suit) within the next two weeks against the State of Florida ... No one is above the law – not attorneys, DAs, state agencies, nor judges!

 

Can jail-4-judges help me attack this public corruption and violation of the

public trust problem rampant in West Palm Beach ??? 

 

Joseph Worrell

Joseph, having spent eighteen years and having filed fourteen petitions in the U.S. Supreme Court with never once any sign of intelligence or honesty in the judicial system, it would be pure insanity for me to take such a matter to court.

 

Of course, where one is ignorant and unlearned as to what the courts are, such an experience can provide a great education. This is how I learned what the “law” is, and by which experience I learned the need for JAIL4Judges.

 

I am known for repeatedly saying that there is no hope for this nation outside of the passage of JAIL4Judges. Some people learn from others’ experience, and others have to learn from their own. I cannot tell which category you are, so you will have to educate me on this point before I can advise you whether to proceed. The fact is, JAIL4Judges is your only help.

Corporate CFR members

get lion's share of bailout funds

 

Written by Thomas R. Eddlem

Monday, March 23, 2009   

 

Newspapers are fixated upon $160 million in bonuses given to American 

International Group (AIG) executives. And it’s nice to know where the millions

are going (note: the bonuses could have been cancelled had the federal government let the company go bankrupt, as officials should have). 

 

But where are the trillions in TARP, TALC and Federal Reserve Bank bailout funds going? The man in charge of administering the bailouts is Treasury Secretary 

Timothy Geithner, who served as a staff member of the New York City-based 

Council on Foreign Relations before being hired in 2003 to head the New York

City branch of the Federal Reserve Bank (Fed). As the vice chairman of the Fed’s Open Market Committee, Geithner is probably a poor choice to get the nation out of it’s current economic mess. He served as Alan Greenspan’s number two man at the Fed, so Geithner is as responsible as anyone for facilitating the severity of the real estate and financial  bubble and its subsequent collapse. After all, the Fed was the driving  force behind the asset bubble, inflating the bubble larger and larger  through artificially low interest rates and an inflationary easy-money  policy.

 

Under Geithner and his predecessor (former Goldman Sachs CEO Henry “Hank”

Paulson), the majority of bailout funds have been awarded to high-level donors to Geithner's former employer: the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR).

 

Here’s a survey of TARP bailout awards to the CFR’s corporate members

(there are a total of only a little more than 200 corporate members at all levels): 

Among the “Founders,” those who give $100,000 or more to the CFR, can  be

found:

 

·        American Express Company: $3.389 billion TARP

·        Goldman Sachs: $10 billion TARP, plus a separate Federal  Reserve

bailout and more than $13 billion of the allotment to AIG  (below)

·        Merrill Lynch: $45 billion through its corporate parent, Bank of America, which is also a CFR Premium corporate member, plus $6.8 billion of

AIG’s bailout funds

 

“President’s Circle” CFR members ($60,000 or more) received the following

bailout funds:

 

·        American International Group (AIG): $182 billion in total 

TARP/TALF funds to date

·        Citibank: $50 billion TARP

·        Morgan Stanley: $10 billion TARP

 

Premium members ($30,000 or more to CFR):

·        Bank of New York/Mellon Corporation: $3 billion TARP

·        Freddie Mac: Sharing with Fannie Mae $1.25 trillion —  that’s $1,250 billion — in mortgage securities being purchased  from the Federal Reserve Bank

·        Chrysler: $4 billion TARP, plus $1.5 billion TARP for Chrysler Financial

·        JP Morgan Chase: $25 billion TARP

·        CIT Group: $2.33 billion TARP

 

That’s a total of more than $1 trillion in bailout funds for CFR corporate members, easily the lion’s share of the total bailout funds awarded to date. CFR Membership seems to have its benefits, and then some.

 

So why is no one asking questions about why most of the funds are going to the former employers of our Treasury secretaries? Perhaps because many of the entities who should ask "why" are also CFR corporate members. Among the

financial press, the CFR counts among its members Bloomberg, General Electric (NBC, CNBC, MSNBC), News Corporation (Fox, Fox Business), Standard and

Poor's, ABC News, Time Warner (CNN, Time Magazine, etc.), Moody's, and

McGraw Hill (book publishers).

 

Somebody should ask the question why the same people who brought us this

financial crisis are now bringing us the "cure," and why that cure necessarily involves financing former employers of the people making the decisions.

Hate Crimes Bill Primed For House Debate

A federal bill that would amend the hate crimes law to include crimes against people due to their sexual orientation, was approved late last week by the House Judiciary Committee, clearing the way for the bill’s consideration by the full House of Representatives.

The bill, also known as the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act, passed the Judiciary Committee by a vote of 15-12. The bill is similar to one that was passed by the House two years ago and has received criticism from those concerned that the legislation could be used to persecute Christians who do not approve of homosexual practices.

The Judiciary Committee rejected a number of amendments offered by several congressman seeking to protect religious liberty, to protect the unborn, to protect against violence by illegal aliens and to clarify the bill’s meanings of “gender identity” and “sexual orientation.” One of the rejected amendments, offered by Congressman Gohmert of Texas, sought to ensure that ministers could not be prosecuted for abetting a hate crime simply because they preach from the Bible.

“The federal hate crimes bill is bad news for everyone,” said Pacific Justice Institute President Brad Dacus, who testified against the bill two years ago. “Instead of treating all crime victims equally, it creates a caste system where select groups, such as gays and lesbians, are given greater priority in the criminal justice system.

“This is not progress; it is political correctness. In other nations and states, the adoption of hate crimes legislation has been the first step toward widespread suppression of speech and ideas critical of homosexuality.”

If the bill were passed, it would allow the federal government to intervene in state and local cases and prosecute criminals under federal law with harsher penalties. Crimes using a gun, a bomb or fire that are motivated by gender or sexual orientation could incur a fine and up to 10 years in prison. Offenses such as kidnapping and murder would be punished with life imprisonment.

The House could debate the bill as early as this week, and President Barack Obama is expected to sign the measure if it reaches his desk.

Pastors in the Pulpit Subject to Imprisonment for “Hate Crimes”

 

Pastors at risk; Hate Crimes Bill favoring certain "classes" more than others

House  agrees to muzzle pastors with 'hate crimes' plan

 

The U.S. House today approved a federal "hate crimes" bill that would provide special  protections to homosexuals but leave Christian ministers open to prosecution should their teachings be linked to any subsequent offense, by anyone, against a "gay."

 

The vote, 249-175, came despite intense from Republicans who argued the

measure would create a privileged class.

 

Bishop Harry Jackson Jr. of the High Impact Leadership Coalition also

condemned the action, offering a warning about the nation's future.

 

Jackson said the action puts "sexual orientation" in a specially protected class under federal law.

 

"Based on history, it really isn't something that needs to be  protected," he said. "There's a problem that this is going to mark the first time that a protected class status is given to … whatever sexual orientation one has."

 

He said the experience in other countries has led to prosecution of Christians. In Sweden, for example, a minister was sentenced to  30 days in jail for preaching from Leviticus.

 

Similar state laws have resulted in similar results. In Philadelphia several years ago, a  73-year-old grandmother was jailed for trying to share Christian tracts with people at a homosexual festival, Jackson said. Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., said H.R. 1913 will create "thought crimes," and U.S. Rep. Trent Franks, R-Ariz., said it will end equality in the U.S.

 

Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, charged the plan will divide America into groups of more favored versus less. He again cited USC Title 18, Section 2a, the foundation of H.R. 1913, which says anyone who through speech "induces" commission of a violent hate crime "will be tried as a principal" alongside the active offender. But there is no epidemic of hate in the U.S., he noted.

 

Rep. Randy Forbes, R-Va., introduced a striking argument: If  Miss California, Carrie Prejean, who supports traditional marriage, had slapped the homosexual judge who derided her on the stage under H.R. 1913 she could be indicted as a "violent hate criminal," facing a possible 10 years in prison. But, Forbes said, if the homosexual judge had slapped her, she would have had no special protection under H.R. 1913.

 

Andrea Lafferty, executive director of the Traditional Values Coalition, said, "The Anti-Christian Caucus of the U.S. House of Representatives has acted today to lay the legal foundation and framework to investigate, prosecute and persecute pastors, youth pastors, Bible teachers, and anyone else whose Bible speech and thought is based upon and reflects the truths found in the Bible.

 

"A pastor's sermon could be considered 'hate speech' under this legislation if heard by an individual who then acts aggressively against persons based on 'sexual orientation.' The pastor could be prosecuted for 'conspiracy to commit a hate crime'" she said.

 

"This Democrat-controlled Congress has now elevated pedophiles and other

bizarre sexual orientations, as well as drag queens, transgenders, lesbians and gay men to the level of protection of that already given to African Americans, Hispanics and other minorities in the law," she said.

 

House Republican leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, said the Democrats have placed a higher value on some lives compared to others, a decision he said is unconstitutional.

 

Not happy with just making Christian teachings on homosexuality illegal, supporters have approved a law that also provides grant money for so-called "sensitivity-training" to provide pro-homosexual propaganda, noted the public-interest legal group Liberty Counsel.

 

When a plan virtually identical to the current Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009 was developed in the last Congress, Rep. Artur Davis, D-Ala., admitted during a hearing on the bill it could be used to prosecute pastors merely for preaching against homosexuality under the premise that they could be "inducing" violence in someone.

 

The bill ultimately failed then because President Bush determined it was unnecessary – the crimes banned in the legislation already are addressed by other laws – and it probably was unconstitutional.

 

"The federal hate crimes bill is bad news for everyone," said Brad Dacus of Pacific Justice Institute, who testified in Congress against the bill two years ago. "Instead of treating all crime victims equally, it creates a caste system where select groups, such as gays and lesbians, are given greater priority in the criminal justice system.  This is not progress; it is political correctness. In other nations and states, the adoption of hate crimes legislation has been the first step toward widespread suppression of speech and ideas critical of homosexuality," he said.

 

Matt Barber of Liberty Counsel has spoken out against H.R. 1913 a number

of times. "As has proved to be true in both Europe and Canada, this Orwellian piece of legislation is the direct precursor to freedom killing and speech chilling 'hate speech' laws. It represents a thinly veiled effort to ultimately silence – under penalty of law – morally, medically and biblically based opposition to the homosexual lifestyle," he said.

 

Barber said the 14th Amendment already provides that victims of violent crimes are afforded equal protection under the law "regardless of sexual preference or proclivity." Barber cited FBI statistics showing there were about 1.4 million violent

crimes in the U.S. in 2007, but only 1,512 were presumed to be "hate crimes." And two-thirds of those involved claims of "hateful" words, touching and shoving. Under the specifications of the law, a Christian needn't touch a homosexual to face  charges, he noted.

 

"If the homosexual merely claims he was subjectively placed in 'apprehension of bodily injury' by the Christian's words  then, again, the Christian can be thrown in prison for a felony 'hate crime,'" he said.

 

WND reported previously that the plan was introduced by Rep. John Conyers,

D-Mich., who said, "The bill only applies to bias-motivated violent crimes and does not impinge public speech or writing in any way."

 

Section 10 of the act states, "Nothing in this Act, or the amendments made by this Act, shall be construed to prohibit any expressive conduct protected from legal prohibition by, or any activities protected by the free speech or free exercise clauses of, the First Amendment to the Constitution."

 

However, critics cite United States Code Title 18,  Section 2, as evidence of how the legislation could be used against people who merely speak out against homosexuality. It states: Whoever commits an offense against the United States or aids, abets, counsels, commands, induces or procures its commission, is punishable as a principal.

 

Jeff King, president of International Christian Concern, warned Christians to speak up before the legislation passes. He said they are acting like the proverbial frog in a slowly heating kettle that boils to death. "They need to wake up and take action to oppose this threat to religious liberty."  

Unreported Millions

Multi-millionaire Top Judge Claims to be Unable to Hire Defense

Judge discloses $2.4 million previously unreported

© 2009 The Associated Press

May 2, 2009, 11:45AM

AUSTIN, Texas — The top judge on the state's Court of Criminal Appeals has revealed more than $2.4 million in previously undisclosed income and real estate holdings.

Presiding Judge Sharon Keller revealed the assets in an amended report on her personal finances filed this week with the Texas Ethics Commission in Austin.

The Dallas Morning News reports in Saturday's editions that Keller explained that she had omitted the assets from previous disclosures because her father, Dallas landowner and hamburger restaurateur Jack Keller, hadn't told her of them.

The amended filing is aimed to correct previous filings that had drawn ethics and criminal complaints from the nonprofit liberal watchdog group Texans for Public Justice. The group accused Keller of failure to disclose nearly 42 million in commercial and residential real estate holdings.

"If a defense attorney in a death penalty case before Judge Keller's court filed briefs as carelessly as Keller filed her financials, the client in question already would have been executed," said Andrew Wheat, the group's research director.

The Morning News had reported in late March that Keller hadn't complied with legal requirements that she disclose her ownership interest in seven residential and commercial properties in Dallas and Tarrant counties

Keller did not return telephone messages left Saturday by The Associated Press. However, she wrote in her ethics filing that her father, "over a number of years has acquired and managed, without input from me, all of these properties."

Her attorney, Ed Shack, told the newspaper that "we're not saying she is excused. She is at fault. But she wasn't trying to deceive anybody."

Keller already faces misconduct charges from the state Judicial Conduct Commission for not keeping her office open past 5 p.m. on Sept. 25, 2007, the night Michael Wayne Richard was executed. His lawyers have said that prevented them from filing an appeal. Keller has said that attorneys for Richard, who raped and murdered a woman in 1986, had other options to appeal.

Keller has argued that the commission's misconduct charge violates her constitutional right to counsel. She has said the state refuses to allow attorney Chip Babcock to represent her at taxpayer expense and paying for her defense herself would be financially ruinous.

Babcock has said he's willing to represent Keller for almost nothing, but that the ethics commission has not clarified whether that was an ethics violation.

Texas: City Councilman Arrested for Opposing Red Light Cameras
Duncanville, Texas mayor silences anti-camera councilman by having him arrested.

 

http://www.thenewspaper.com/news/27/2745.asp

The mayor of Duncanville, Texas had a member of the city council arrested last Tuesday for speaking out against the use of red light cameras during an official meeting. The incident took place during the discussion of whether the city should spend $59,000 to make street repairs. Mayor David Green recognized Councilman Paul Ford to speak on the contract item.

"Thank you," Ford said. "I want to let you know that earlier this evening during briefing, Mayor Green threatened me that if he told me to stop talking and I didn't, he'd have me arrested, and I want to let you know what I told Mayor Green."

Green became outraged and shouted, "Mr Ford, you are out of order. You are not recognized Mr Ford. You need to cease right now."

While Green yelled, Ford continued his brief statement without stopping.

"Unlike those thousands of people who are getting red light camera tickets, I will have the opportunity for a jury trial. It will be a jury of my peers and I will confidently put my fate in their hands. And now I'm going to discuss agenda item number three. I will vote against it, and here's why."

Before he had a chance to explain that the city could find the money for those necessary street repairs by cutting the city manager's salary from $179,000 to $160,000 and reducing payments to local chambers of commerce by $40,000, Police Chief Robert Brown grabbed Ford. Ford repeated several times the statement: "Chief Brown, I will not leave voluntarily, but if you believe I am violating the law by discussing this agenda item, I will submit to arrest."

Brown did not respond. Mayor Green had the audio of the city council video tape turned off as Brown dragged the councilman out of the chamber. Ford ended up hospitalized from injuries sustained during the arrest.

Ford's comments referenced an earlier, private briefing of city council members where the mayor complained that Ford had attempted to "take control" of past meetings. To stop this, Green announced that he would instruct the city manager to remove any council member who disrupted a meeting. Over the past few council sessions, Ford raised the mayor's ire by insisting that the city code be amended to allow motorists the option of a jury trial when contesting red light camera citations and by his pointing out that only five percent of the 43,955 red light camera tickets issued in the city went to motorists accused of the straight-through violations most consider to be "red light running."

"I'm not the one who brought the red light camera scandal to Duncanville," Ford responded at the private meeting. "I'm the one who brought it to light, but I'm not the one who imposed it on us... I recognize that there probably is no city employee in this room who will stand up to you guys... Unlike those people who are getting red light camera citations, I will have an opportunity for a jury trial when you arrest me for whatever it is that you've discussed, whether it's disrupting a public meeting or disorderly conduct. I will have a jury trial, and it will be a jury of my peers, not yours. In other words, people who are not getting money from this city. And I will with conscience place my fate in their hands."

Mayor Green's expulsion of an elected member of the city council violated standard rules of procedure. Under Robert's Rules of Order, the binding code of conduct for most municipal organizations, Green would not have any authority to have Ford removed for making off-topic comments that lasted less than thirty seconds. The use of force to remove a member is considered an extreme measure and a last resort.

"Although the chair has no authority to impose a penalty or to order an offending member removed from the hall, the assembly has that power," the Rules state.

Under this set of procedures, a mayor would first have issued a warning to an unruly member and, if ignored, put the question of what to do about it to the entire city council. A majority vote would be required to have a sitting member removed from the chambers after that member is given an opportunity to speak in his own defense. Under Duncanville's city charter (2.15), only the full council can change the rules of procedure, not the mayor acting alone.

Ford has been released from the hospital but the mayor had a warrant issued for his arrest. Ford announced yesterday his intention to turn himself in. Since March, Ford has attempted to gather 1300 signatures to create a referendum on the red light camera program in Duncanville.
