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.

Constitutional Provisions

U.S. Constitution, Amendment 6, Right to Counsel............................................ 2

 

 

The U.S. Supreme Court has included into its requirement of fair court proceedings adversarial nature of such proceedings[1].

There may be no true adversarial court proceeding where one opponent (especially – the more powerful one) controls the other, or its representative, by means outside of the particular court proceeding, where

1.     A party in litigation must choose its trusted representative in court from the list approved by its opponent in litigation, which undermines any possibility of trust to such a representative; and

2.     A powerful party in litigation (the government) may remove representatives of its opponents in litigation at a whim, without knowledge or consent from the party who has chosen that particular representative.

Yet, this is exactly what is happening in the American courts – and the recent case of New York’s suspension of Rudy Giuliani’s law license[2] is just one of such examples.

Back at the beginning of the 20th century the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the only business that may be constitutionally regulated by the government[3] is a business of such a nature that without a legislative regulation a lot of people will suffer serious harm[4].

At the same time, the U.S. Constitution recognizes the important role of an attorney in cases where an individual opposes the government in court, by

·       its direct text[5],

·       federal statutes providing financial incentives for attorneys to sue the government on behalf of indigent individuals for human rights abuses[6] and

·       by US Supreme Court precedent[7].

States also provide free counsel to indigent defendants in “quasi-criminal” settings where proceedings threaten loss of constitutional rights, such as child neglect/abuse proceedings by social services against parents and “civil” contempt proceedings.

In view of importance of the right to counsel in cases where the government is the opponent in litigation, whether the government is the plaintiff (criminal, CPS cases) or a defendant (federal civil rights lawsuits), it is important for litigants to have a choice of representatives in court whose livelihood is not controlled by opponent in litigation, the government.

Yet, not only livelihoods of such attorneys are, in fact, controlled by their opponent in litigation, the government, but such representatives of opponents of the government in litigation are actually targeted by the government in license revocation proceedings, to remove the counsel of choice from the opponent, without opponent consent, and to gain this way an advantage in litigation.

The license revocation of the civil rights lawyer Rudy Giuliani who dared to bring a civil rights lawsuit against the government claiming improper actions of government officials in several states presidential elections in 2020[8] is one of the most recent and the most illustrative examples of this targeting[9].  The license revocation was targeting not only Giuliani himself, but, very obviously, his client Donald Trump who was deprived of his chosen counsel in and out of court by his opponents in litigation.

Another recent example is revocation of the license of a black civil rights attorney from Connecticut, for suing a judge and “slandering the judicial system” of the state, specifically, for accusing the state court system of racism[10].  Similarly, it was attorney Miller’s clients – opponents of the government in civil rights lawsuits – who were stripped of her services without their consent, by their opponents in litigation, when license was revoked by the government from civil rights attorney Miller, on contrived grounds:

·       slandering a system, and especially a government system, is not possible to do legally in the USA, since in American jurisprudence, one cannot “slander a system”, only a person,

·       the judge attorney Miller sued in federal court never counter-sued her for defamation,

·       had the judge done so, he would have lost because of high pleading standards and high burden of proof put on government officials in defamation lawsuits in the U.S. Supreme Court 1st Amendment jurisprudence[11],

·       the reason for this political targeting and punishment of the civil rights attorney in Connecticut for asserting that state courts are racist becomes tragi-comical in view of the same state’s decision to teach in its schools the “Critical race theory”, asserting that systemic racism permeates all governments (including, obviously, the state courts), and the entire society in the United States[12].

Not in Connecticut, not in New York, not anywhere else in the United States, did legislatures determine, in order for the government to regulate representatives of its own opponents in litigation, civil rights/criminal defense/defense-against-CPS attorneys, that business of these lawyers is of such nature that without legislative control over such services a lot of people will come to a lot of serious harm[13].

On the opposite, a lot of people are obviously coming into a lot of serious harm when they are given no choice by the government, but to choose representatives in court, when sued by the government, representatives whom they must trust with secret details of their lives and entrust the future of their own life, liberty, property – only from the lists approved by their powerful opponent in litigation.

In fact, while such control exists, services of counsel in defense of civil rights situations that are so highly valued – in words, at least - by the U.S. Constitution, federal statutes and the U.S. Supreme Court precedent are stripped of their value through control over them by the powerful opponent in litigation, the government.

Moreover, while such control exists, none of court decisions in cases where government is a party in litigation may be considered legitimate, since the process used in arriving at those decisions lacked the true independence of the representatives of the government’s opponents in litigation, and thus lacked the true adversarial nature required by the U.S. Supreme Court for court proceedings.

It is obvious that regulation by the government of criminal defense, defense-against-CPS and civil rights lawyers is unconstitutional as regulation of representatives of government’s opponents in litigation since it

·       emasculates people’s right to counsel given by the U.S. Constitution or federal statute,

·       allows the most powerful party, with the burden of proof in criminal and child abuse/neglect cases, to always have an unfair advantage in such litigation,

·       destroys legitimacy of court decisions in cases where the government is a party in litigation by removing the required element of court proceedings – a true adversarial nature of such proceedings.

Regulation by the government in the US of representatives of its own opponents in court must stop.

New York may not regulate Giuliani (or other lawyers) because law license revocation courts officially merged with prosecution

New York may not regulate Giuliani (or other lawyers) because law license revocation courts officially merged with prosecution

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that when a court combines in itself functions of a judge and a prosecutor in the same case, all decisions of such courts are null and void as violating 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, Due Process Clause[1].

New York law licensing courts have made prosecution in attorney disciplinary cases as an official part of the court as far back as in 1975[2] and continue to do the same until now.

Therefore, all decisions of New York courts imposing attorney discipline – including in Giuliani’s case – are null and void.

The U.S. Supreme Court has declared that for any law to be constitutional, it has to be done by the legislature, and the legislature must clearly define in that law – so that an ordinary person of average education and intelligence understands it - what the law allows and what it prohibits, and the law must give a clear guidance to the executive branch (police and prosecutors) and to judges how to apply it[1].  

When New York regulates “admission to the bar”[2], it regulates not the same admission to the bar which requires a human body with a heartbeat, over 21 years of age and with some dollars in his or her pocket, but what it mysteriously calls “the practice of law”.

Yet, New York’s legislature so far did not come around yet to clearly define what “the practice of law” means.

Thus, New York may not, until it does so define, regulate any lawyers, including Rudy Giuliani, and any New York’s decisions admitting or expelling lawyers from “the practice of law” are null and void.

The U.S. Supreme Court has clearly stated over 100 years ago that the government may only regulated those businesses and professions which are of such nature that without legislative regulation, will cause a lot of people a lot of bad harm[1].

In other words, only inherently dangerous and dishonest professions and businesses may be constitutionally regulated by the government.

On that premise, why then do we have to populate our judiciary and our prosecutors only and exclusively with members of that inherently dangerous and dishonest profession?

Especially that the profession has proven its inherent danger and dishonesty by giving to themselves absolute immunity to commit crimes in office – as judges[2] and as prosecutors[3].

So, they have allowed themselves to fabricate cases, including Giuliani’s, with impunity – and now they are teaching Giuliani how to tell the truth to the public?

But if Giuliani sues them in federal court, will invoke judicial and prosecutorial immunity for fabricating cases?

This little inconsistency aside, there was never any determination by the New York legislature that the legal profession is of such a nature (dangerous and dishonest) that without legislative control a lot of people will suffer a lot of serious harm.

Therefore, according to the U.S. Supreme Court precedent[4], New York may not constitutionally regulate lawyers, and the decision against Giuliani is null and void.

The decision to suspend Giuliani’s law license: jurisdictional basis fabricated by the licensing court

 

The decision to suspend Giuliani’s law license:

jurisdictional basis fabricated by the licensing court

 

Tatiana Neroni, Juris Doctor

Initial publication in Russian on Academia.edu – September 7, 2021 ©

 

 

In its decision to preliminarily suspend the law license of Rudy Giuliani, lawyer to 45th US President Donald J. Trump, the New York licensing court has reviewed and rejected Giuliani’s protest against court’s regulation of his political speech in and out of court and suspended Giuliani’s law license, before the formal charges were filed and without any hearing, because of his political statements about results of presidential elections 2020 in 4 states:

1.     Arizona,

2.     Georgia

3.     Michigan

4.     Pennsylvania[1].

In asserting its right to regulate political speech of attorneys in and out of court the New York licensing court relied upon two U.S. Supreme Court cases:

1.     Gentile v State Bar of Nevada, 501 US 1030, 1051 (1991), and

2.     Ohralik v Ohio State Bar Assn., 436 US 447, 465 (1978).

The reality is that neither one of these precedents of the U.S. Supreme Court contains permission to any governmental bodies, courts included, to regulate political speech of lawyers – with very narrow exceptions that did not apply in Giuliani’s case.

On the very opposite, in the former of the two precedents cited by the New York licensing court in Giuliani’s case, Ohralik v Ohio State Bar Assn., 436 US 447, 465 (1978), the essence of the case was about regulating of purely commercial speech of a lawyer – the so-called “ambulance-chasing”, imposing of the lawyer’s paid business to patients of hospitals without their consent.

Moreover, the U.S. Supreme Court has been very cautious not to regulate political speech of lawyers in Ohralik, and not to even appear as if it is attempting to do that – it stated specifically in Ohralik that the speech regulated in that case was not political in character. 

In the latter of the two precedents cited by the New York licensing court in Giuliani’s case,  Gentile v State Bar of Nevada, 501 US 1030, 1051 (1991), the essence of the case was disciplinary punishment of a criminal defense attorney who has won a jury trial for his client.  The punishment was for the lawyer’s press-conference before the formal charges were brought against his client, where the lawyer has publicly accused the local police of criminal activities, fabrication of a criminal case against his client and mishandling of the drugs seized by the police elsewhere.

The U.S. Supreme Court has actually vacated the attorney’s punishment, stating that

1.     An attorney may need to make out-of-court public statements on behalf of his client in the course of a court case if the attorney decides that the client’s interests so demand;

2.      An attorney may publicly criticize the government out-of-court despite a pending court case, which is political speech that the government may not regulate, with two exceptions – if the attorney has used in his/her political speech

1)     Information obtained through a mandatory court discovery process, and

2)     Information subject to a pre-trial court gag order.

The court in Giuliani’s case never mentioned that Giuliani used in his statements information falling into either of the above two exceptions, therefore, the New York court had no authority to regulate Giuliani’s political speech – in or out of court.

Therefore, Giuliani was correct in his protest that the court lacked authority to regulate his political speech through a license regulating procedure.

Moreover, the court in Giuliani’s case acknowledged that at all times when making his statements Giualiani acted in a representative capacity, as the voice of his client, 45th US President Donald J. Trump.

The U.S. Supreme Court has stated more than half a century ago that the government may not do in an indirect way what it may not do in a direct way[2].

Donald J. Trump is not an attorney licensed by the State of New York to practice law, nor does he purport to practice law in the state of New York, and thus is not subject to regulation by New York State court regulating attorneys[3].

New York attorney licensing court had no authority to regulate political speech of 45th US President Donald J. Trump – not directly and not indirectly, through regulating his representative, lawyer Giuliani.

Nor did the court have authority to regulate Giualini’s speech had that speech been on Giuliani’s own behalf, in view of the true holding and reasoning of the two US Supreme Court cases Giuliani’s court has (deliberately) misquoted.

Therefore, the Giuliani court had no jurisdiction over proceedings, its decisions are null and void and the continuing proceedings must be barred as unconstitutional.
