A Justice System Run Amok

When
I was growing up my dad was not only a junior high school math and
science teacher, but was directly involved in politics. He was what
was then called a “ward leader”
which today would be comparable to a powerful precinct
captain or a district-level political operative, My dad worked on
many major political campaigns from presidential, gubernatorial, down
to my town's mayoral campaigns, but one thing he always told me right
before an election was to take place...told me even years before I
was even old enough to vote...was that when it came to the judicial
elections always remember to vote the incumbent judges out. And when
I asked him why his answer was simply that too many judges do, in
time, tend to either be “bought”
by
one party or another,
or simply become beholden to a given party's ideologies or agenda.And
while I did not really understand his reasoning back then, I surely do
understand it and herald it now.
So
here let me begin by saying that there are, unfortunately, still some
serious problems and issues facing our beloved America today, and
it's mostly thanks to the liberal far left and their America-hating
agenda. And one of the most serious of problems, in my opinion, is
the increase in overt acts of politically generated physical violence
now having become both an unwelcome and undeserved hallmark of who we
are as both a people and as a nation. And while that alone should
give one pause to think, so too should the fact that thanks to
“activist
judges”
and tainted juries, the guilty are often either deemed innocent or
given what amounts to a mere slap on the wrist. And this is no matter
the seriousness of their crime(s) committed, while their innocent
victim(s) are often verbally ripped apart and dragged through the
“court
of public opinion”
courtesy of the Democrats bought and paid for media fodder.In
fact, and it pains me to say this, but the entirety of our legal
system as it stands now... thanks to the infiltration of “activist judges”
who ignore the fact that their job is to interpret the law as
written and apply it accordingly, not twist said law to meet their
personal political agenda or ideology...is indeed a contributing
factor to the increase in acts of physical violence we are facing
today. Why so...because the “catch,
book, and release” mentality
of the left has overtaken both the law and common sense.
And
while the police do try to do their job...which is to protect and serve “We the American People”...their
hands continue to be somewhat tied behind their backs what
with the police still being seen as “public
enemy #1” in many of the still Democrat controlled “blue” cities
and states. But
the fact remains that while the legal process itself will always
remain tainted to some degree...it's just the nature of the beast as
nothing having any relation to government or politics is
perfect...the most serious problems in regards to law and order today
remains mostly on the federal and
state levels while it has, albeit to a lesser degree, now started
filtering down to the local level as well. However, there is a common
denominator between all said levels in that when a trial is over and
a defendant faces sentencing a given judge's partisan loyalties seem
to outweigh the actual rule of law.
Simply, what these
“activist judges,”
especially those on the federal level, have done is literally thrown
Constitutional law aside in the name of their personal “body
politics.” Why
so...because they as “activist
judges” really
do put their politics, their party, and their personal agendas above
what they consider to be “outdated”
Constitutional
law, while at the same time deliberately overlooking legally set
precedent.
And
then there's what's called “judge
shopping” coming
into play more times than not, and know it's rampant on the federal, district, and state levels. How so? When a case is filed on
any level it generally does go through what's called a "case-assignment process"...a
process designed to randomly draw a judge out of a
“general pool” of
all eligible judges, thus supposedly allowing for what's called
“impartial authority.” However,
today we do find party partisanship overriding impartiality as left
leaning attorneys relish in exploiting any and all so called
“quirks in the system.” And
this is done solely to help in their evading a randomly selected
judicial assignment, which then allows them to push for a judge who
is sympathetic to or actually shares their ideological agenda and
goals.
For
example, in the case of what now seems to be any judicial ruling in
President Trump's or his administration's favor, these now
hand-picked “activist judges,”
who sit on district appeals court benches, will do any and everything
possible to find ways to override what was a lower court's decision,
And this usually results in their blocking said decision via the
issuing of an “injunction,”
thus forcing what was a settled case to go higher up in the court
system. And in President Trump 's case that usually means fighting an
“injunction” all
the way up to the Supreme Court, which his attorneys have rightfully
and successfully done on a number of occasions.
Saying in his ruling that
DA Bragg had not proved that Mangione “acted
with terroristic intent” after he alone
decided that Mangione's writings only “indicated
a desire to draw attention to what he
perceived as the greed of the insurance industry,” and
therefore was not a threat against the country nor the general
public, thus ruling that said charge did
not reach the level of domestic terrorism. But what Carro actually
did was take what should have been a decision made by a jury and
render said decision himself. And that is indeed a true example of
judicial overreach ...an overreach that in my opinion, should see
Justice Carro being both removed from the case and then see him
facing disbarment charges for willfully and knowingly doing a jury's
job for them.
But
even with that said, one has to remember that it's not just the
judges/justices themselves who are
the sole problem, but that the actual jury selection process is as
well. Why so...because many times a seated jury consists of folks
with a decidedly political agenda and who use said agenda to try and
sway their fellow jury members to their side no matter the presented
facts or evidence of a given case. The “George Floyd” verdict is a
perfect example of a criminal being turned into a supposed saint
courtesy of a jury verdict while the police officers involved became
the devil incarnate all because the actual presented into evidence
autopsy report seemingly was being ignored.Simply,
today's jury system itself...from selection to verdict
rendered...should be called into question because at
times...especially in high profile cases like the “George Floyd” case,...jury selection, in my opinion, is seemingly being manipulated
by either lawyers for the defense or the prosecution in order to
either balance out the racial, sexual, and/or intelligence level
(whether to dumb it down or smarten it up) of a given jury in order
to help sway, in a timely manner, a verdict in that specific case.
And how is this done... simply by the attorneys on said case looking
for signs at interview time as to whether a called to jury duty
individual actually wants to be a jurist or not. Remember, jury
decisions have, at times, been rendered based not on the facts
presented, but by the wants of the jury to simply wrap up a case that
is either taking too long or that they never wanted to be seated on
in the first place.
A
truly sad but true commentary on what should be ones civic duty.
And then there's this
regarding today's judicial system in general, for the fact is that
not only does the system itself seem to have been taken over and
corrupted by not just “activist judges,”
but by countless
left leaning defense attorneys who have been using....
or should I say misusing...what are actual court processes to help
“reset”...if
you will... the time frame for certain verdicts rendered to actually
being carried out. And it's done courtesy of said attorneys filing
countless...and most times useless...appeals in order to buy more
time for the guilty in the misplaced hope of overturning what was a
jury's original verdict. Case in point...how many times have we heard
of long convicted murderers finally being put to death years, it not
decades, after having committed the crime to which they were found
guilty…as their“on-the-clock”
attorneys were raking in the big bucks while the victim's family and
friends were being denied the much needed act of closure.And
here let me say that I firmly believe in one trial, one appeal...or
two appeals if it involves a complicated case...but in both cases
with a set time frame for appeals in place...and then sentence should
be fully carried out as originally adjudicated.
So
now in closing let me say that while we all know...or at least should
know if one has been paying even a mere modicum of attention to what's
happening in our country today...that the overtly partisan
“activist judges”
who currently sit on US court benches are not the only ones in need
of change. Why so...because the game that is politics itself has also played a big part in the
infiltrating and thus the corrupting of our overall system of
justice.
A
truth unnerving, but a truth that cannot be ignored especially in
light of the politically based “assassination”
of “Turning Point USA's”
founder Charlie Kirk by one Tyler Robinson. Be prepared for a “not
guilty by reason of insanity”
plea coming into play to help drag out what should be an open and
shut case, for this is a classic ploy used by defense attorneys and
heralded by “activist judges when there's nothing left to build a defense case on. What a sad
commentary indeed.
And lastly, come the 2026 midterm elections don't forget
to vote all the sitting judges out. So with that said, case closed.
