Impeachment petition of several federal judges of the Northern District of New York court is being prepared
I put the public on notice that I am in the process of preparation of a petition/request to the U.S. Legislature to impeach the Chief Judge of the Northern District of New York Gary L. Sharpe and several other judges, such as Senior Judge Thomas McAvoy, Judge Lawrence Kahn, Judge Glenn Suddaby, for:
1) Intentional and self-serving violations of their constitutional oath of office;
2) favoritism to politically entrenched law firms and attorneys;
3) presenting to the public an appearance that certain attorneys can influence judicial decisions;
4) using the rule of frivolous conduct as a tool of retaliation against attorneys, family members and clients of attorneys who speak out against judicial misconduct;
5) bringing the judicial office in disrepute by creating an impression that the desired judicial decisions can be obtained by using politically entrenched attorneys;
6) abusing their power in bringing and prosecuting proceedings, as a tool of personal vendetta, designed to block access to court to attorneys and parties who criticized judges and sought their recusal or seeking information about their in- and out-of-court misconduct.
The disciplinary rules as written by the federal judiciary, do not allow to discipline a judge for acts on the bench, even if those acts were malicious, corrupt and/or in violation of his or her constitutional oath of office.
Yet, the judge-created absolute judicial immunity protects judges from lawsuits, even for malicious and corrupt acts on the bench, because discipline is available.
Since discipline is not available, the only remaining way of making federal judges accountable is impeachment.
Impeachment is a complex procedure that must be commenced through the U.S. Legislature. The U.S. Legislature should be notified of judicial misconduct to become aware of it and to commence the procedure. Hence, I am preparing a petition. I am preparing the petition because of my own experience with the judges against whom I am seeking impeachment, and because of documented experience of my husband and some other people.
If any other attorneys and parties who litigated in this court have a basis to seek impeachment of its judges, I request to contact me so that we could do it together. Thank you for your attention.
