As to the Green court case, I do understand that sometimes courts create precedents and then do not follow them. Yet, the precedent exists and lawyers across the country can at least use it to support their 1st Amendment rights in litigation.Tatiana Neronihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02164591853661429324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656840100957938850.post-15424979001803916292016-01-28T05:19:19.962-08:002016-01-28T05:19:19.962-08:00Hi, Tatiana. I just found your blog. My situatio...Hi, Tatiana. I just found your blog. My situation is similar to yours. For representing my clients competently in court, I found myself the target of repeated groundless and unethical prosecutions by disciplinary counsel in Colorado, who openly colluded with my opponents to defeat me in ongoing litigation. I was suspended three times--without ever a complaint from a client; in fact, my clients testified for me as character witnesses--and had to defend against three proceedings that I was "mentally incompetent," all of which I overcame, but then they slapped me with a finding to that effect in the last disciplinary opinion, without any notice or opportunity to defend. <br /><br />I was stripped of everything I own, including my home and everything I had saved over my whole career, defending against this siege, and of course also stripped of my ability to earn a living. So I am now on food stamps, in another state. I am, in fact, an Ivy League graduate and had been the Green Party candidate for Colorado Attorney General in 2002, in which capacity I talked about corruption in Colorado; I had also moved to recuse certain judges with substantial evidence (and the ethical obligation to file such motions) in a couple cases, doing so exactly in accordance with the rules; and I had issued a press release opposing a Colorado Supreme Court justice publicly when he ran for retention in 2008, because he had engaged in ex parte communications with my opponents in every single case I ever had before the Colorado Supreme Court. The retaliation via these disciplinary proceedngs went on for over four years, resulting in three published opinions, all of which misstate the facts and none of which even mention what my well-founded defenses were.<br /><br />While the Green case you cite with approval, from the Colorado Supreme Court, gives the appearance that that court respects constitutional rights, I cited it repeatedly, myself, and was ignored. The Colorado Supreme Court gives lip service to constitutional rights every now and then, but in the bulk of cases (most of which consist of unpublished opinions or summary affirmations) they do not follow their published precedents. These people are corrupt to the core. That is why they are sitting on that court. <br /><br />My blog--which so far has only about 1% on it that needs to be there, since I have not yet recovered emotionally from the siege sufficiently even to read my files without getting infuriated all over again--is at: therealcolorado.blogspot.com<br /><br />I hope to hear from you.
