Comments on: How to survive the tyrant Judge (part 3 of 3) http://gerryspence.wordpress.com/2008/09/06/how-to-survive-the-tyrant-judge-part-3-of-3/ Thu, 31 Dec 2009 13:38:07 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: a son of man http://gerryspence.wordpress.com/2008/09/06/how-to-survive-the-tyrant-judge-part-3-of-3/#comment-2161 a son of man Sat, 05 Sep 2009 02:57:53 +0000 http://gerryspence.wordpress.com/?p=314#comment-2161 Gerry, The aforementioned is one aspect of the failure. Most distressing, the courts police themselves and their answers are final. I have an understanding of the importance of judicial independence. Admittedly, it is not as thorough as those of others with law degrees. I have a better understanding of human nature and this much I guarantee. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Immunity is a two-edged sword. Sure, it has protective value. It also cuts to shreds litigants who believe in the courts' integrity. What do the Canons say? They demand absolute, beyond appearances, purity. Instead, we have settled for an out-of-control, undemocratic, tyrannical governmental body with more power than the executive and legislative branches of government combined. This side of the sword is razor sharp, stronger than any other material on earth, and far more lethal than useful. Citizens are deprived of the benefit of their hard-earned tax dollars. This system of self-correction effectively removes any accountability from the people. It is taxation without representation. It is RAPE. Gerry, The aforementioned is one aspect of the failure.

They are there because they need power. We have many great judges, but, sadly, one of the reasons a person seeks the judgeship may be for power. Those who need power are dangerous. Sorry about your experience. You are not alone by any means. Gerry Doc

My lone effort to contribute didn't cut it. Try, try again? What to do when the judge and opposing counsel gang up on the unsuspecting pro-se boob who expects, without reservation, to be treated with respect and. The notion that he would get his day in court, to be heard by a fair, impartial judge, was exactly that. The concept of the frightened child lurking within the stark raving judge is insightful, no question. A bit simplistic and naive, too, I think. Anyway, in the spirit of In Cold Blood when one plus one equals a third unrecognizable monster, these two, together, became a tyrannical Beast wreaking bloody havoc on Justice. Lies, omissions, bias and false accusations filled and polluted the air. Nothing remotely resembling fairness took place. No thing at all. I feel less than already.

These judges even lie on orders to promote their values. Please review my website and tell me what you think. Also, if you know of any magazines that would like to cover the story, I would be very appreciative. Just speaking on the Internet is not enough because the media will address tyranny in family court.

A person keeps filing claims in court bogis and even with proof and pictures this person keeps winning the cases. Could it be he has a xwife working for the police department !What can a normal person do about something like this? I cant afford an attorney and I'm not educated enough to file all the court papers or ? I am dealing with a tyrant Judge and I am beginning to think he is dirty.

You stated that your advice is to get a lawyer rather than go pro-se, which I can fully understand. However, what does one do when the lawyer appointed by the court to represent a criminal defendant has made it clear, either by words or actions, that he will not defend his/her client because to defend the client too strongly will affect his future ability to get more cases? The answer seems to be, more often than not, that the defendant is going to be convicted, even if the state had a very weak case from the beginning. Please correct me if I am mistaken, but that hardly sounds like justice; in fact, it is the polar opposite. And this is why those of us who don't have the deep pockets required to hire effective lawyers who will fight to the best of their ability for their clients have lost whatever confidence they might have had in our current "justice system." It is very hard to maintain confidence in a system that is very heavily stacked against citizens that don't have money, and I don't know if it can ever be restored. Just an opinion from a concerned non-lawyer, and I appreciate your giving me the opportunity to express it. :) I realize after reading all three of the “tyrant Judge” articles that they were written primarily for lawyers, but I feel compelled to ask this question anyway.

Pro se parties occasionally get justice, but rarely. When a party appears pro se it puts the judge to task. He or she have to fill in the gaps left by the litigant -- mostly out of innocent ignorance of the law and the procedures in the court. The judge then has to perform certain lawyer tasks as well as remain the judge. I find it hard enough to keep up with court rules and the moving target, which is the law. I have expert lawyers help me in my cases, and still we sometimes miss something. A pro se party is usually a nightmare to the judge because the judge can't be both judge and lawyer for that party. The pro se party representing himself or herself is like someone suffering from appendicitis operating on himself. He might luck through it, but not likely. My advice: get a lawyer. If your clients' cases are just and can be sustained under existing law you will be able to find a lawyer who will help. The problem here may not be the judge, the problem may be an unfortunate body of laws that prevent justice. Gerry Dorothy, the practice of law is pretty much a closed shop.

The federal judge has stated in his orders that he will always believe the "Officer of the Court", even when the US attorney has outright lied to him twice in extremely relevant matters. This started in 2002 and we can never "exhaust" or get past sovereign immunity - which are used to obstruct justice by DHHS. Meanwhile, these patients have suffered terribly while the law and the facts are entirely on their side. What advice do you have for pro se litigants with a judge like this?

I have lived in it for nearly sixty years and every day I hear the kind of complaints you make. The system is broken, often corrupt in that the rights of ordinary people do not remain paramount but are subject to the power of government and money, usually corporate money. But what we complain about here is also true in our political system, our business world and is rampant among the citizenry itself. Still, there are many good and caring people in this country, and in all of the segments of our civilization. Mostly they go ignored. My article on the tyrant judge was written mostly for lawyers. How do you survive a tyrant judge when you are trying to represent a client who is at the mercy of such a judge? And why is the judge such a tyrant? We need more understanding and less raging, although I fully understand the latter. I have and do plenty of raging myself. Thank you for yours. Gerry Frank:
