CORRECT ABUSE
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Now let's look into the process of how we can protect
|
|||
|
|
ourselves from this brand of justice. All federal judges,
|
|||
|
|
that is, ones who are selected by the president and approved
|
|||
|
|
by the senate hold their offices during "good behavior."
|
|||
|
|
This is what is known in government circles as an
|
|||
|
|
'Article III' judge. These are the judges who are supposed
|
|||
|
|
to be completely free from any influence of the other two
|
|||
|
|
branches of government.
|
|||
|
|
Other judges who are not Article III judges include
|
|||
|
|
bankruptcy judges, immigration judges, magistrates, tax
|
|||
|
|
court judges which come under Article I (congressional)
|
|||
|
|
control. Any judge who is appointed for a specified period
|
|||
|
|
is not an Article III judge.
|
|||
|
|
However, when Article III judges are being coached by
|
|||
|
|
the executive branch (IRS) and have become a rubber stamp for
|
|||
|
|
approving unconstitutional governmental actions, they are no
|
|||
|
|
longer free from influence.
|
|||
|
|
Let's get into the definition of good behavior. The
|
|||
|
|
dictionary defines it as: "To conduct ones self well or to do
|
|||
|
|
the right thing." Pretty simple . . . Any school child
|
|||
|
|
should have been able to define that one. The law dictionary
|
|||
|
|
says much the same: "orderly and lawful conduct." However,
|
|||
|
|
when we speak of federal judges and good behavior, we have to
|
|||
|
|
get into lawful conduct.
|
|||
|
|
Their oath specified that they will administer justice
|
|||
|
|
to the poor and to the rich and will faithfully and impar-
|
|||
|
|
tially discharge and perform all duties agreeably to the
|
|||
|
|
Constitution and laws of the United States.
|
|||
|
|
The key to impeachment are the words agreeably to the
|
|||
|
|
Constitution and laws of the US. A law of the US is one
|
|||
|
|
which fulfills constitutional requirements. Any law out of
|
|||
|
|
sync with the Constitution is not a law of the US.
|
|||
|
|
Any law which is a violation of the Constitution, and is
|
|||
|
|
upheld, is a violation of the judges oath and therefore can't
|
|||
|
|
be considered good behavior. Congress gave judges 'dis-
|
|||
|
|
cretion' but this will not cover up a constitutional viola-
|
|||
|
|
tion. Nor will it cover up a violation of a valid US law.
|
|||
|
|
If a law is agreeable with the Constitution and a judge
|
|||
|
|
violates such a law, it's not good behavior. If a federal
|
|||
|
|
judge upholds a law which is not valid under the Constitu-
|
|||
|
|
tion, it does not fit into the definition of good conduct.
|
|||
|
|
Not even the Congress can give a judge the latitude to break
|
|||
|
|
their oath or the Constitution nor a valid law. This is in
|
|||
|
|
the area of malconduct which Hamilton in the Federalist
|
|||
|
|
Papers called the basis for impeachment.
|
|||
|
|
The law dictionary defines malconduct as "Ill conduct,
|
|||
|
|
especially dishonest conduct, or, as applied against
|
|||
|
|
officers, official misconduct." For malconduct, Hamilton
|
|||
|
|
said that they are likely to be impeached by the House of
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Representatives and tried by the Senate; and, if convicted
|
|||
|
|
may be dismissed from office and disqualified from holding
|
|||
|
|
any other.
|
|||
|
|
Federal judges will be quick to point out that they are
|
|||
|
|
following the rules of civil or criminal procedure. However,
|
|||
|
|
if their action violates the Constitution or a valid law,
|
|||
|
|
court rules must fall.
|
|||
|
|
These court rules are usually proposed, written or
|
|||
|
|
rewritten at judicial conferences or with special committees
|
|||
|
|
established for that purpose. These rules then go to the
|
|||
|
|
Supreme Court for revision or agreement and then are
|
|||
|
|
submitted to Congress for their approval.
|
|||
|
|
All authority for operation of the judicial system must
|
|||
|
|
come from Congress. It's clear how many lawyers are in
|
|||
|
|
Congress "taking care of their brothers in the legal
|
|||
|
|
profession." Any law, any rule, any regulation must conform
|
|||
|
|
to the power which we have delegated to the national govern-
|
|||
|
|
ment. There are no exceptions to this!
|
|||
|
|
Now, let's look at what is probably the proper procedure
|
|||
|
|
to follow . . . We have to go to the House of Representatives
|
|||
|
|
with our complaint against a federal judge.
|
|||
|
|
Start with your own representative and file your
|
|||
|
|
complaint as a Petition For Redress of Grievances. The
|
|||
|
|
subtitle should be "Request for Impeachment of a Federal
|
|||
|
|
Judge." Cite the violations of the Constitution or laws of
|
|||
|
|
the United States with which you are accusing the judge.
|
|||
|
|
There is a copy on file at the end of this book. Print it
|
|||
|
|
out on any printer and you have your petition.
|
|||
|
|
Send a copy to the House Judiciary Committee. Simply
|
|||
|
|
address it: House Judiciary Committee, US Congress,
|
|||
|
|
Washington, D.C. 20515. They are required by the Constitu-
|
|||
|
|
tion (Art I, Sec 2, cl 5) to investigate the complaint and
|
|||
|
|
you must insist that the requirements of the Constitution be
|
|||
|
|
followed.
|
|||
|
|
Cite that particular Article, section and clause as
|
|||
|
|
authority for impeachment. Send all your papers by certified
|
|||
|
|
mail so no one will be able to say they have never received
|
|||
|
|
your complaint. If you hear nothing in a reasonable time,
|
|||
|
|
follow it up with more letters.
|
|||
|
|
Call your representative when they are in town and ask
|
|||
|
|
about your petition. Don't be surprised if you do not
|
|||
|
|
receive an answer, they will be resistant to changes in their
|
|||
|
|
power structure. There is no question that you will have to
|
|||
|
|
be forceful but be firm.
|
|||
|
|
I don't believe anyone has to be disrespectful. I was
|
|||
|
|
once told that you can catch more flies with honey than you
|
|||
|
|
catch with salt. And, I have found it to be true. How you
|
|||
|
|
handle that aspect of your complaint is entirely up to you.
|
|||
|
|
If it wasn't true that they are working for you, they
|
|||
|
|
wouldn't be coming home every so often and begging you to
|
|||
|
|
vote for them and send them back to the funny farm!
|
|||
|
|
Send a copy to your Senators also. Since they will be
|
|||
|
|
required to try the case of impeachment, (Art I, Sec 3, cl
|
|||
|
|
5) it will help your cause if they are made aware in advance.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You also may pick up some valuable help along the way.
|
|||
|
|
Be firm in your conviction and honest in your charges
|
|||
|
|
against the judge. If the judge has broken a law, spell it
|
|||
|
|
out. If there is a constitutional violation which you can
|
|||
|
|
cite, give it to them. Above all, put your entire complaint
|
|||
|
|
down in your own words, don't make it sound like it was
|
|||
|
|
something in a form letter you are following.
|
|||
|
|
The more simple it is written, the easier it will be for
|
|||
|
|
Congress to understand it. When these people are flooded
|
|||
|
|
with complaints, something will be done. You might also send
|
|||
|
|
a copy to your local newspapers and generate some local
|
|||
|
|
pressure on the people in Congress who are supposed to be
|
|||
|
|
upholding the Constitution.
|
|||
|
|
You will never know if someone else reads about your
|
|||
|
|
petition in the newspaper that they may also have a strong
|
|||
|
|
complaint against the same judge in another area of viola-
|
|||
|
|
tions and it could only strengthen your complaint.
|
|||
|
|
There is much work to be done but it a necessary task if
|
|||
|
|
we are to restore our original form of government. Wouldn't
|
|||
|
|
it be reassuring if we knew the judicial branch was in fact
|
|||
|
|
independent of the other two branches of government and had
|
|||
|
|
not been coached to their actions by the executive or
|
|||
|
|
legislative branches of government?
|
|||
|
|
I feel it would be appropriate here to bring up another
|
|||
|
|
point about federal judges that I wish the readers would
|
|||
|
|
consider. That is this business of judges holding their
|
|||
|
|
appointments for life. Because of the course of events in
|
|||
|
|
recent years, it might be a good idea now to get the Congress
|
|||
|
|
to approve another amendment to the Constitution.
|
|||
|
|
That federal judges be appointed for a specified period,
|
|||
|
|
let's say six years. They then would have to go through
|
|||
|
|
reappointment by the president and reconfirmation by the
|
|||
|
|
Senate with the provision for input from the people when
|
|||
|
|
confirmation hearings are to be held.
|
|||
|
|
It would give us some say-so on appointment of people
|
|||
|
|
who are supposed to be the protectors of American citizens.
|
|||
|
|
If the Congress would approve such an amendment, it would
|
|||
|
|
then have to be sent to the states for ratification and that
|
|||
|
|
is where we come in.
|
|||
|
|
The Framers of the Constitution felt that the appoint-
|
|||
|
|
ment of judges for life (or during good behavior) would
|
|||
|
|
insure that they would remain independent. We can safely say
|
|||
|
|
that this has not been true. Of course, the Founders
|
|||
|
|
admitted they were not infallible so they established the
|
|||
|
|
amendment process.
|
|||
|
|
Today, when we can point out a failure in their wisdom,
|
|||
|
|
it is up to us to change that error and amend the basic
|
|||
|
|
document. All the delegated powers came from us and they
|
|||
|
|
still come from us! Let's insist that these powers be
|
|||
|
|
followed to the letter.
|
|||
|
|
Our rights in the Constitution cannot be stepped on by
|
|||
|
|
the judicial branch of the government anymore than they can
|
|||
|
|
be ignored by the others. These rights are not subject to
|
|||
|
|
the will of the judges and lawyers, they are absolute!
