Judicial Selection Coalition

Our Founding Fathers, fearful of a controlling government, arranged to make all government officials accountable, keep the branches of government separate, maintain the significance of a jury to protect litigants from bad laws and a usurping judiciary, and warned us not to trade away our freedom for any security the government offered in return.

This write-up shows how these concepts have broken down – particularly with regard to fundamental rights protection for fathers under family court jurisdiction.

1) Rights operationally traded away for security advantages:

In the course of predominantly the latter half of the 20th century the individuals have allowed government to seduce them with government-promised advantages. Delivering them has permitted government to grow to unimaginable size, power, and control of each and every facet of our lives. Its octopus nature has put much more than 1 out of five citizens directly in government employ with much more seeking and obtaining unique affiliation with some facet of government for its payments.

To sustain and grow its power, government has targeted select groups of citizens for specific privileges which are, of course, at the expense of nonselected groups. A host of affiliated agents, representatives, and the privileged citizen groups have grow to be government-benefited unique interest groups who lobby for a lot more benefits at the expense of other people groups not so well-connected.

These government-benefited special interest groups overwhelmingly influence – at taxpayers expense – the elected branches of government and via them control and influence the judicial branches. They seek their own betterment at the expense of other people, and are able to suppress the securing of fundamental rights of others though their power and the incestuous relations between the distinct branches of government. Their dominance enables them to set the tone at all levels of society as more of the men and women must comply with contrived advantages and rules of government in their lives.

2) Deterioration of legal processes and loss of trials by jury:

Indeed, powerful unique interest groups – most specially, those funded and supported directly by the government – are able to push by means of laws injurious to the fundamental rights of nonfavored classes of people. Abuse Laws are an example which demands no wrong performing yet deprives men of all their rights and sets them up for criminal prosecution for never a real criminal act “just pretended offenses” – as mentioned in the Declaration of Independence.

Juries are not at all informed of their right to judge the law as well as the facts during a trial – a key protection against bad laws by our founding fathers. Juries are excluded in family court where the greatest transfer of wealth occurs and sets the stage for enormous violation of due procedure and fundamental rights against fathers.

Enormous loss of privacy and the rights this implies occur in family court as well as by phony emergencies such as perennial war and the ‘need to know’ by government. Rampant plea bargaining – a form of present day torture or coercion in criminal and civil cases – forces innocents to fear the excessive penalty possibilities of an unjust trial; so they cop a plea. The Salem witch trials atmosphere is back in our court system in more methods than ever.

Criminal penalties -like incarceration – are imposed with out the needed due process for civil contempt as well as criminal contempt. The Writ of habeous corpus has in large part been lost in federal court bureaucracy. Defendants can get up to six months in jail with out a trial and certainly with out a trial by jury.

3) The accountability of state officials: – specially in the legal areas is practically nonexistent. Judges have developed absolute immunity for themselves no matter what their offense even though adjudicating a case. Aids to the court and lawyers are very well protected so almost any perfidy can take place by them leaving no redress of any impact operationally possible.

4) Separation of branches of government:

Complete breakdown of the envisioned separation of government branches has caused tyrannical control of court by unique interest groups – as most evident in divorce suits.

Family court initiates the extortion of funds from fathers illegally deprived of their youngsters under the rubric ‘child support’. Even so, assigning this support collection to the State’s Department of Revenue (DOR) helps boost DOR’s coffers via assisting federal funds. The DOR in turn pays dollars directly to the extremely family court system that unjustly denied the father his children so as to extort funds from him. This violates the intent of separation of branches.

Ironically it is the perversion of equal rights legislation of the 1960′s -to create new phony rights -like affirmative action, harassment, and abuse laws for favored group rights that has produced the engine and interest groups that have undermined the protection of fundamental rights for all.
