[Victims of Court Corruption] Re: Working together to expose in the context of the presidential campaign judges' unaccountability and consequent riskless wrongdoing
Richard Cordero:
I have scanned through your 151 paged proposed agenda, which appears to me to be to send, if you have not already done so, it to Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney for inclusion in his acceptance speech. Therein, you include the creation of a for-profit judicial unaccountability reporting advocacy, to wit;
h. Creation of an institute of judicial unaccountability reporting and reform advocacy 205. The business and academic venture 213 includes the creation of a for-profit institute of judicial
unaccountability reporting and reform advocacy 212.
You point out, "Kindly note that since my proposal would be most effectively implemented during the current presidential campaign, time is of the essence."
I respond that this very night, Thursday, August 30th, Romney makes his acceptance speech, so there is little hope that anything you propose is going to be included within his acceptance speech.
As to the substance of your proposal in the creation of a judicial unaccountability reporting advocacy, it presumes that the very elected politicians who are rejecting the Judicial Accountability & Integrity Legislation, might be interested in creating a judicial unaccountability reporting advocacy forum. I see no basis for such speculation or hope. Is this theory based upon a name change, but in substance, is the same?
Tell me what you find wrong with the Federal J.A.I.L. Bill that has been proposed to all these bureaucrats for years, and how your proposal cures its shortcomings?

Dear Mr. Branson,
Thank you for your prompt reply.
You asked a question and as its foundation stated your related experience. It is indeed your own experience that provides the basis for my answer:
“When you speak of working together, do you have a [sic] idea how we can together better advance getting this on the ballot or getting Congress to take action? I have been pushing this agenda since 1995. To date I have not found a single Congressman, U.S. Senator, or state legislator who will touch this legislation with a ten-foot pole, including the most conservative.”
No member of the House or the Senate has dare call to account the Federal Judiciary for having abrogated in effect an act of their own, namely, the Judicial Conduct and Disability Act of 1980 that entrusts judges with an exclusive self-policing procedure. Congress has been informed for over the last 32 years in the annual report that it required the Judiciary to file with it that federal judges systematically dismiss complaints against their peers. Thereby judges have self-exempted from any accountability and in practice assured each other that their wrongdoing is riskless and all the more profitable since it does not require costly measures to avoid and defend after detection.
What Congress has not done in reaction to the Judiciary’s disregard of its Act, it is not going to do to respond to our plea to take on the most powerful public officials in the country: unelected, life-tenured, in practice unimpeachable federal judges.
The official statistics contained in that annual report and supporting the above statements are referenced at http://Judicial-Discipline-Reform.org/2012_E/DrRCordero_jud_unaccountability_reporting.pdf >jur:21§1. See also my previous email on this issue.
Therefore, I agree with what follows from your experience: Pursuing an agenda geared toward getting Congress to hold federal judges accountable or getting on a state ballot a popular initiative to that end is doomed to failure. To pursue that agenda any further can only warrant the application of Einstein’s aphorism:
“The hallmark of irrationality is doing the same thing while expecting a different result.”
Consequently, my answer to your question takes due account of our common experience with Congress as well as my experience with the courts themselves, from bankruptcy, district, and circuit courts to the Supreme Court104b, 109c .
That answer is based on a different strategy set forth in the short article at id., xxvii, whose summarizing title is this:
Novel Strategy For Taking Action Against Wrongdoing Judges
by removing the fight from the judges’ turf, the courts, out to the public,
and taking into account the interests of journalists and politicians
during a presidential campaign, when they are most receptive, so that
they may help in exposing wrongdoing by judges so outrageous as to
stir up the public to demand that the media and the authorities
investigate the judges and their enabling judiciary and undertake
effective legislated judicial accountability and discipline reform
The concrete way in which I propose that we work together to expose judges’ wrongdoing and consequent riskless wrongdoing takes advantage of the presidential campaign and was pointed to in my previous email references to id. >i, xxv, and xxxiii.
So I respectfully invite you and all the reasonable and realistic members of your organization to read them. Then we can discuss your views of it.
Kindly note that since my proposal would be most effectively implemented during the current presidential campaign, time is of the essence.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Dr. Richard Cordero, Esq.

Dear Richard Cardero:
You have written to me suggesting that we work together to expose judicial unaccountability. Judicial accountability is a noble cause of which simply must come about. JAIL4Judges is a one issue organization, and that issue is getting an initiative on the ballot in one of the states for the People to vote upon, or getting a state legislature to place judicial accountability on the ballot for the People to vote upon. In the case of Federal Judicial Accountability, we seek to get a Congressman or U.S. Senator to propose such via a Bill.
When you speak of working together, do you have a idea how we can together better advance getting this on the ballot or getting Congress to take action? I have been pushing this agenda since 1995. To date I have not found a single Congressman, U.S. Senator, or state legislator who will touch this legislation with a ten-foot pole, including the most conservative. They have all been running from judicial accountability and pretending that I have nothing to say. I believe this fear is because they know that once the People obtained judicial accountability, it would destroy their ability to push through unconstitutional pet projects they so thrive upon.
2 The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.
3 That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up.
4 The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge: Micah 7:2-4.
It would be nice to see every candidate for president openly state their position on the Judicial Accountability & Integrity Legislation Bill. But not a one will touch it, including Paul of whom I have personally handed this propose Bill for submission to Congress.

Dear Mr. Branson and Mr. Lynn,
If you found the statistics on California judges that appeared in the California Lawyer article “Judging Judges”, by Linda Schlesinger, July 2012, http://www.callawyer.com/clstory.cfm?eid=923320, to reveal the unequal protection from the law reserved for them, you will find the statistics on federal judges to be outrageous.
For instance:
On 30sep11, there were 2,131 judges –including justices and magistrates– in office13; however, in the 223 years since the Judiciary’s creation in 1789 the number of federal judges impeached and removed is eight14.
The Judiciary has allowed its chief circuit judges to dismiss systematically and without investigation 99.82% of the complaints filed against their peers in the 1oct96-30sep08 12-year period.19
In that period, its judicial councils –the circuits’23a all-judge disciplinary bodies– denied up to 100% of the petitions to review those dismissals, as did the 2nd Circuit’s council, of which Then-Judge, Now-Justice Sotomayor was a member20. She too unequally protected her peers from the law regardless of the nature and gravity of the complaints against them, exempting them from any discipline without even investigating the complaints.
See the above blue-text references to the official statistics of the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts at http://Judicial-Discipline-Reform.org/2012_E/DrRCordero_jud_unaccountability_reporting.pdf.
What these statistics reveal is that federal judges’ wrongdoing has become the institutionalized modus operandi of the Federal Judiciary. A case in point is described at id. >xxxiii.
My proposal to expose their wrongdoing by taking advantage of the presidential campaing is set forth at id. >i and xxv.
As brought to your attention on many previous occasions, I would like us to work together. If we continue working separately, we are going to achieve what we have up to now and will continue to in future: nothing.
Hence, I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Dr. Richard Cordero, Esq.
