THE EVOLUTION OF JUDICIAL TYRANNY IN THE UNITED STATES:

"If the judges interpret the laws themselves, and suffer none else to interpret, they may easily make, of the laws, [a shredded] shipman's hose!" - King James I of England, around 1616.

“No class of the community ought to be allowed freer scope in the expression or publication of opinions as to the capacity, impartiality or integrity of judges than members of the bar. They have the best opportunities of observing and forming a correct judgment. They are in constant attendance on the courts. Hundreds of those who are called on to vote never enter a court-house, or if they do, it is only at intervals as jurors, witnesses or parties. To say that an attorney can only act or speak on this subject under liability to be called to account and to be deprived of his profession and livelihood by the very judge or judges whom he may consider it his duty to attack and expose, is a position too monstrous to be entertained for a moment under our present system,” Justice Sharwood in Ex Parte Steinman and Hensel, 95 Pa 220, 238-39 (1880).

“This case illustrates to me the serious consequences to the Bar itself of not affording the full protections of the First Amendment to its applicants for admission. For this record shows that [the rejected attorney candidate] has many of the qualities that are needed in the American Bar. It shows not only that [the rejected attorney candidate] has followed a high moral, ethical and patriotic course in all of the activities of his life, but also that he combines these more common virtues with the uncommon virtue of courage to stand by his principles at any cost.

It is such men as these who have most greatly honored the profession of the law. The legal profession will lose much of its nobility and its glory if it is not constantly replenished with lawyers like these. To force the Bar to become a group of thoroughly orthodox, time-serving, government-fearing individuals is to humiliate and degrade it.” In Re Anastaplo, 18 Ill. 2d 182, 163 N.E.2d 429 (1959), cert. granted, 362 U.S. 968 (1960), affirmed over strong dissent, 366 U.S. 82 (1961), Justice Black, Chief Justice Douglas and Justice Brennan, dissenting.

" I do not believe that the practice of law is a "privilege" which empowers Government to deny lawyers their constitutional rights. The mere fact that a lawyer has important responsibilities in society does not require or even permit the State to deprive him of those protections of freedom set out in the Bill of Rights for the precise purpose of insuring the independence of the individual against the Government and those acting for the Government”. Lathrop v Donohue, 367 US 820 (1961), Justice Black, dissenting.

"The legal profession must take great care not to emulate the many occupational groups that have managed to convert licensure from a sharp weapon of public defense into blunt instrument of self-enrichment". Walter Gellhorn, "The Abuse of Occupational Licensing", University of Chicago Law Review, Volume 44 Issue 1, September of 1976.

“Because the law requires that judges no matter how corrupt, who do not act in the clear absence of jurisdiction while performing a judicial act, are immune from suit, former Judge Ciavarella will escape liability for the vast majority of his conduct in this action. This is, to be sure, against the popular will, but it is the very oath which he is alleged to have so indecently, cavalierly, baselessly and willfully violated for personal gain that requires this Court to find him immune from suit”, District Judge A. Richard Caputo in H.T., et al, v. Ciavarella, Jr, et al, Case No. 3:09-cv-00286-ARC in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, Document 336, page 18, November 20, 2009. This is about judges who were sentencing kids to juvenile detention for kickbacks.

Had to file a complaint against Justice Joseph A. McBride, of Chenango County Supreme Court (NY), and am starting a series of articles about this judge - and his misconduct, as a DA and now as a Judge

I have just published an article about Chenango Supreme Court Justice Joseph A. McBride's shenanigans as a DA in a murder case - securing three murder convictions when he likely had no right to obtain even a single indictment in the case because he was disqualified to be present in the grand jury room due to his and his office's familial connections.

The first murder conviction was overturned because DA McBride "maligned" (appellate's court's words, not mine) my husband who was defense counsel.



By the way, the claim in this article that Wlasiuk "lost ANOTHER bid to have his conviction overturned" is glaringly false - Wlasiuk did have the appellate court overturn the conviction TWICE.

At this time, "Justice" McBride cannot stop pursuing my husband and now me because my husband complained about McBride when he attempted to get assigned to our case in 2023 and retaliated against us, and because I blogged about it, too.

So - I complained about him to the Judicial Conduct Commission, and am publishing the complaint here, with attachments I sent with the Complaint, which are self-explanatory:

(1) E-mail complaint to the New York State Commission for Judicial Conduct against Chenango County Supreme Court Justice Joseph A. McBride:

(2) My Affirmation under the penalty of perjury interlinking documents showing the tricks Justice McBride was doing in 2023 - and now in 2026: ex parte communications, filing false court orders, advocacy on behalf of politically connected non-parties;

(3) my letter filed with the court requesting recusal of McBride and requesting to stop the advocacy for Attorney Frank Miller (not an attorney of record as of April 3, 2026) and his purported client Wayne Marshfield (who Frank Miller represents at the same time as he is hired to investigate and prosecute that same Marshfield, as showin in depositions in Decker advertisement case, 3:23-cv-1531 (NDNY).

(4) Exhibit 1 to the letter - scheduling of the conference where Justice McBride tries to force me to interact with the serial harasser Miller who I am suing - and he retaliates by any unlawful means;

(5) Exhibit 2 - letter from Justice McBride's chambers copying attorney Miller, who is not an attorney of record as of April 3, 2026, amendment of the complaint as of right that dropped his supposed client;

(6) my husband's lawsuit against attorney Gerard Misk describing, on pages 6-9, Justice McBride's cruel and fraudulent shenanigans against my elderly and disabled husband, in retaliation of winning agaisnt Justice McBride as a DA, many-many times;

(7) my blog from December 9, 2023 - I will simply interlink it here - publishing my husband's complaint against Justice McBride.

Justice McBride is retaliating against me for that complaint to the point of not doing what he is supposed to do on the assigned case - getting nullified motions off the calendar - but actively catering for Attorney Miller and his law firm where the firm belongs to Timothy Murphy, brother of Chief Administrative Judge of Upstate New York - and to a bunch of relatives of NDNY judges.

Nothing unusual - about NYS court system.  Right?

I will, next, publish a description of reversals of this judge, including recent, and frequent, reversals - does not paint a picture of high competence, I can tell you ahead of time.
