My blogs covering issues of independence of court representation, access to court and judicial, prosecutorial misconduct and misconduct of "politically connected" attorneys hit over 100,000 viewers in less than a year. Thank you, my readers!
That's a lot for such difficult and politically sensitive topics as attorney independence and judicial misconduct.
Readers' interest and readers' feedback show me that these topics are important to the public. Readers report to me from all over the country that judicial misconduct is rampant everywhere, but the media does not adequately cover these topics, out of fear or policy.
That was my personal experience, too.
Before starting this blog, I went to several media outlets who listened to me and then faded out and dud not run the stories.
Yet, we will achieve nothing if we are going to be hiding under the rock instead of addressing the blight on the name of this great country that pervasive and uncontrolled judicial misconduct has become.
This blog is my political statement as an attorney who is being persecuted for trying to do my best for my clients, including my attempts to ensure for my clients their constitutional right to an impartial judge.
There is a growing recognition in this country that stifling criticism of the judiciary by attorneys, who know about judicial misconduct best, is a voter misinformation issue and a public safety issue.
Think "Kids for Cash" scandal in Pennsylvania where attorneys would not speak against the judge who was sentencing kids into a private juvenile facility for years, in return for kickbacks from owners of the facility who needed the "kiddy jail" full to keep the financing flowing.
When there is an uncontrollable king on the bench (and many, if not most, judges behave as if they are such kings in "their" courts), you may pretty much be assured that the democracy is dead and what you have is a dictatorship which will continue and affect your life for as long as you and other people will remain silent and accept it.
We need a court reform, we need to clean up the act of our "public servants" (including judges) who seem to run and control their master, the People, more than it is allowed to do by law.
Those who usurped absolute power should be legislatively controlled, and those controls should be effective.
I am grateful for your readership and feedback to my blog and will strive to continue to cover these issues in the future.
Thank you!
