Our Judicial system is crumbling. What would be the chance of it ever getting fixed? Let’s think about that. There are three branches of the Federal government: Executive, Legislative and Judicial.

• Which branch has the most power? Judicial.
• Which is over all three, including policing itself? Judicial.
• Potentially, where does the biggest problem lie? Judicial.

The Judicial branch is our system of courts. A courtroom is where the common man is likely going to get closest to one of the three branches of the federal government. The top court in the country, the Supreme Court, is potentially as political as the other two branches of the government.

Justices are appointed by the then-sitting president, for life — unless the Legislative branch has a big problem with the president’s appointee. Are they ever required to prove their competency, like years down the road? No. What about genetic conditions that occur later in life? Dementia? Alzheimer’s? Just keep your eyes on the person moving their mouth — you’ll do fine.

I’m one who believes that no one deserves a life-time appointment at anything. Not long ago, we the people, made sure that the president could only hold two terms — eight years. Yet the president does not hold near the power as the Supreme Court.

Case in point — December, 2000. The Supreme Court stepped in during our election process, and in closed session, with no requirement to divulge their reasoning, handed the presidency to G.W. Bush. The following day, everyone continued their lives as usual. Is it just me?

Frankly, I believe the country would have been in much better shape in 2008 — at the end of those two terms — if the Supreme Court had handed the presidency to me. At least we wouldn’t have had a sociopath running the country for eight years.

Closer to Home

I know of one Superior Court Judge (who I’ll refer to as Judge Jones), who I have witnessed on numerous occasions, bring his own disrespect and arrogance, and potentially even racism, out into his open court room. I fully believe that he is so into the power of the bench that it has truly gone to his head. And, potentially worse, he exhibits many traits of a psychopath.

That also brings up a question: during our last elections, I noticed that every single incumbent Superior Court Judge ran unopposed. What’s with that? Instinct tells me that’s more than just a coincidence. I would assume that many in Law would aspire to sit on the bench — especially sociopaths.

I was in Judge Jones’ courtroom one morning as the calendar was being called. Two hispanic men stood up, evidently the one involved in the case spoke little English, so the other was there to translate.

In probably less than 20 seconds, the impatient Judge completely lost his temper, and in a very loud voice, began by saying, “You people come to this country …”  and that was enough to stun me. As Judge Jones did not appear to be native American, his own people (i.e., his ancestors) would have come to this country, too.

Judge Jones told him not to return until he had proper representation. To me, that man looked like a farm laborer. How was he to get, let alone afford, proper (i.e., bi-lingual) representation? In this area, a typical civil retainer begins at around $3000.

Where’s the equality in our justice system?

At Home

Julie hated paying child support. Whenever she filed a suit against me regarding child support payments (wanting to stop paying them), or custody (another way of wanting to stop paying them) — three times total — we faced Judge Jones each time. For two kids, Julie was paying $460 total per month ($230 each).

The first two times, Julie had her divorce attorney representing her, and I had my divorce attorney representing me. She lost both times, something that most people would have predicted. But without defending myself, they could have taken advantage of it, and as an example, taken custody.

So, I did what I needed to do, and won — but at a huge cost. Not including the divorce, the first support suit cost me about $4000 to defend, and the second cost me about $6000. That was money I dearly needed.

The third time Julie filed a suit against me was actually for a very different reason — fear of exposure. Yes, fear that her public persona could be exposed. I’ve used the term “offensive revenge” often, and that’s what this was all about. It was 11 years after our divorce, when Julie discovered I knew way more than she thought I did.

In less than a week, Julie had my world turned upside down — a pathological liar with ability to manipulate the Law to be on her side.

I’ve come to believe that if you need to go to court, being a sociopath may play in your favor.
