They Lied. With Malice. Under Oath. Before The Senate. In Front Of The American People. (June 27, 2022)

Posted in Abortion, Perjury, Perjury/Dishonesty, Supreme Court on June 27, 2022 by e-commentary.org

. . .

K “All five of them lied. And all five are going to get away with the lies.”

J “All five of them lied. All five are getting away with the lies. That is America today. They knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that getting the job required them to lie to the Senate and the American people and then left them unteathered to decide to the contrary and get away with it.”

. . .

J “Without the detriment of any formal American legal indoctrination, I regard the opinion issued on Friday written in what was probably a smoke-filled back room as just an opinion . . . that happens to be the wrong opinion. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. To gauge their true and binding sentiments, I place stock in what they averred to the Senate and to the entire nation under oath and in public. In plain English, they backhandedly agreed that Roe v. Wade was settled law, stare decisis is a fundamental principle of American law and a right to privacy exists in the Constitution. To the extent they were knowingly coy, they were intentionally deceptive. To discern and divine the true and accurate decision that is to guide the land, you must turn to the statements made under oath to the American people. Properly analyzed, Roe was upheld by a 9 – 0 vote.”

K “Logic has no place in the discussion. What they did was a raw, naked and unvarnished abuse of power.”

. . .

K “For a decade I have observed that the Supreme Court is not a legitimate institution and as constituted has no legitimate role to play in American law and society. The humility, integrity and honesty addressed in Federalist No. 78 are not in evidence in the judiciary today. The Supremes have gone rogue.”

J “The situation is hopeless. The Supreme Court has the ability to do physical violence to the citizens of America which is why they are able to do violence to the body politic.”

. . .

K “The major Democratic politicians do not have the courage or the integrity to impeach them because they do not have courage or integrity. The Roe issue is also the greatest fund raiser for the DNC machine. However, lying to Congress is a violation of multiple provisions of Title 18, the federal criminal code. The Attorney General should present the criminal charges to a grand jury. That might get some attention. They may find their lifetime appointment is served in the graybar hotel.”

J “Not going to happen in America.”

. . .

K “We live in a country with many, many, many rules and many, many, many laws, but we do not live in a country that believes in or adheres to the rule of law.”

J “There is no law, there is only ideology.”

. . .

Impeach Kavanaugh, Gorsuch and Barrett? For Perjury? For Not Good Behaviour? (June 6, 2022)

Posted in Perjury, Perjury/Dishonesty, Supreme Court on June 6, 2022 by e-commentary.org

[DuckDuckGo is completely blocking www.e-commentary.org.]

. . .

K “We agree on something!”

J “You agree with me on something!”

. . .

J “The lie is the backbone of contemporary civilization. But lies are costly and inefficient and not good because you know that you still must commit resources – time and money – to discern the truth. ”

K “Lying is a way of life.”

. . .

J “Asking a potential justice how he or she might rule in the future is not allowed in our shallow and faux political politeness. Asking a justice how he or she respects a ruling in the past – a precedent in a system purportedly underpinned by stare decisis and the rule of precedent – is appropriate. The ambitious potential Justices were asked about Roe v. Wade . . . and appear to have lied to the Senate to get the job.”

K “The Constitution states that the judicial officers can remain in office for ‘good behaviour’. It does not state that they can be removed only for bad behavior. The test is all well and good and places the burden of proof and persuasion on the judge or Justice. A procedure should be established to require every federal judge to evince to the satisfaction of the public that he or she has exhibited ‘good behavior’ on the bench every four years.”

. . .

K “There is no final decision from the Supreme Beings, so as the lawyers would say the issue is not ripe.”

J “The Democrats are betting on the January 6 hearings to save them this November not a negative response to the likely decision.”

Lawyers And Clients: Peas In Pods; Hands In Gloves (March 22, 2021)

Posted in Courts, Judges, Law, Perjury, Perjury/Dishonesty on March 22, 2021 by e-commentary.org

K “You tell me the name of a person’s lawyer and I will tell you about the person. The Rho is .97.”

J “You tell me the name of the person and I will tell you about the person’s lawyer. The Rho is .97.”

. . .

J “97 percent of all persons have no moral compunctions about lying or their lawyer lying on their behalf. What does that say about lawyers?”

K “What does that say about 97 percent of all persons?”

K “Pea in pod.”

J “Hand in glove.”

Honesty And Efficiency . . . In Life And Law (July 31, 2017)

Posted in Courts, Economics, Judges, Judicial Arrogance, On [Traits/Characteristics], Perjury, Perjury/Dishonesty, Truth on July 31, 2017 by e-commentary.org

. . .

K “Economists are indifferent to honesty yet revere efficiency as a fetish. Look at how inefficient the practice and pursuit of dishonesty is in our daily lives. I have enough experience and am confident that one out of every ten of her statements is false. Confirming the veracity of her statements consumes resources, both in time and money. Of her ten statements, which one is false? The seventh statement? The second statement? The fifth statement is the one in the middle and surely must be false. Surely. Probably. Possibly. Likely.”

J “If you cannot rely on the veracity of every statement, then you cannot rely on the veracity of any statement.”

K “The dilemma. The expensive dilemma. After nine honest statements, the next statement must be a lie. Then, if or when it is a lie, can I rely on the next nine statements as truth? However, the very next statement may be a lie followed perhaps by nine honest statements.”

J “They are right. Inefficiency is so inefficient.”

. . .

K “I have seen the handiwork of a judge who probably is not a fundamentally dishonest person who nonetheless wrote at least one blatantly dishonest decision. He could not know. And I know the truth, the facts and the law. If that is the only data, is the judge accurately characterized as dishonest?”

J “If someone is dishonest only ten percent of the time, is the person honest?”

. . .

J “Joe DiMaggio said ‘There is always some kid who may be seeing me for the first or last time, I owe him my best.’ The judge did not care that you would only be seeing him once.”

K “And no camera lights were on him to keep him honest.”

J “When you get right down to it, someone who is dishonest only ten percent of the time is presumptively dishonest.”

K “Challenging the presumption is expensive, both in time and money. Over the decades I have discovered that judges, all on the public payroll in America, are more dishonest more of the time than any other profession except real estate agents and used car salesmen.”

J “They are in the private sector and are expected to cant their sales pitch. Judges may forget that they are in the public sector and are paid by the public.”

K “Their power is unchecked. There is no ethos of ethics or honesty in America today.”

. . .

The Ninth Circuit: Two-Tiered “Just-Us” Review (February 13, 2017)

Posted in Judges, Judicial Arrogance, Judiciary, Justice, Law, Perjury, Perjury/Dishonesty, Truth on February 13, 2017 by e-commentary.org

. . .

K “There are two standards of review in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. If the plaintiff is a favored or famous individual or the matter is a cause célèbre, the Niners read the briefs and write a coherent decision. If the plaintiff is not among the elite and is some ordinary stiff, the Niners do not read the briefs and instead distort both the law and the facts to make the plaintiff and the plaintiff’s lawyer look like fools.”

J “That is, perforce, perjury, but that is never a concern or an impediment. They swore to uphold the law. They are not upholding the law. When they issue a decision, they are not required to attach an affidavit stating that the decision is an honest description of the law and the facts. They already swore to provide an honest description of the law and the facts.”

K “Perjury is the American Way.”

. . .

K “If a case or issue is hip, cool, trendy, sexy and/or well-publicized, the Niners give it the time of day. The recent case involving the trendy issue du jour provided an opportunity for an ideological pronouncement. The Niners are more predictable than the sunrise.”

. . .

K “Cockroaches work diligently in the dark and scurry away when the lights are turned on. Judges work diligently when the television lights are turned on and scurry away when the lights are turned off.”

J “Perhaps the Niners should candidly and honestly state that they will not read a brief filed by a little person unless accompanied by a filing fee four (4) times the filing fee charged to large players and institutions.”

K “Ten (10) times the filing fee may not be enough. How much is enough.”

. . .

K “Too bad we cannot depose God to determine the Truth. Based on decades of study and careful observation, I calculate that aggregating the acts of perjury perpetrated by each judge and applying the low end of the Sentencing Guidelines would consign most judges to prison for life.”

J “Now there is one for you. There are more felons or technically unindicted felons on the bench at large than among the public. I missed that discussion in my high school civics class.”

. . .

J “Some ideas are too Truthful to entertain for even a few seconds.”

K “When you think on it, perjury is the back bone of the American Judicial System.”

. . .

_ “Affirming cases that should be reversed.”

_ “Reversing cases that should be affirmed.”

_ “Construing the rules to promote the most unjust, protracted and expensive determination of a matter.”

_ “Denying requests for oral argument and thus violating the most fundamental tenet of due process.”

_ “Contending dishonestly and fraudulently that the lawyer has waived an argument when the lawyer clearly and unambiguously has not waived and would not under any circumstances waive an argument.”

_ “Spewing an order as ‘Entered at the direction of an individual justice’ without stating the name of the ‘Just-us’ so that one is unable to determine and track the whims, inclinations and peccadillos of the Justice. And usually an order that allows the Justice and the Court not to do any work and to go home early.”

_ “Dismissing the most meritorious and novel argument by demeaning and dissing it as ‘absolutely without merit’ because it would require reflection and intellect to appreciate.”

_ “Disregarding the law.”

_ “Making up the law.”

_ “Disregarding the facts.”

_ “Making up the facts.”

_ “Developing the reputations of friends and destroying the reputations of non-friends.”

_ “Embarrassing an attorney at every opportunity to perpetuate the most institutionalized system of bullying in America.”

_ “Adopting the most arrogant resolution of a matter.”

_ “Taking far too long to address a matter and then getting it wrong.”

World Trade Center Building 7 And The AIA (May 18, 2015)

Posted in Airlines, Architecture, Aviation, Awards / Incentives, Collapse, Courage, Perjury, Profile In Courage Award, Pulitzer on May 18, 2015 by e-commentary.org

B “It they supplied only two planes, could someone destroy three buildings?”

. . .

A “On Saturday, delegates of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) overwhelmingly voted down Resolution 15-6 which called for AIA to support a new investigation of the destruction of World Trade Center Building 7 on 9/11 2001. By a vote of 3892 – 160, the resolution, introduced by AIA member Dan Barnum FAIA, was voted down.”

B “96% of the delegates voted to ignore the facts, the science, and the evidence which is today common knowledge among those who care about the destruction of Building 7.”

A “The vote says more about architects, at least 3892 architects, than anything ever said about architects.”

B “And about 160 architects.”

. . .

L1 “Labor economists divide life into time spent pursuing ‘work’ and time spent pursuing ‘leisure’ or, if you prefer a four letter word for symmetry, then employ the word ‘play.’ An employee should be paid for the work he or she does for an employer but not for the time he or she plays for himself or herself.”

L2 “That is also the settled law in the Republic of America.”

L1 “Except at the Supreme Court which rewrites the laws to protect corporations at every opportunity and cost.”

L2 “I’m not amazed that Amazon requires a security check as part of one’s work. Fine. That time should be compensated under the law because it is work and is not play.”

L1 “The ‘Justices’ get paid for donning and doffing their robes. Most police get paid for the time they put on their uniforms and the time they take off their uniforms.”

L2 “The ‘Justices’ all agree that the underlying maxim in American law is ‘Might Is Right’ and, like politicians, are shrewd enough to support the police and others who defend them against the populace.”

L1 “The ‘Justices’ work a part-time job and get not only full-time pay but lifetime pay even when they should be discharged ‘for cause.’ The irony is delightful . . . and obscene.”

L2 “Another unprecedented problem plaguing the Court is its eagerness to reward the lawyers/lobbyists who litigate and lobby on behalf of the corporations. The Court has never at any time in the history of the country been more obedient to the corporations and less accessible to the American public.”

L1 “In another trend than has been consistent now for decades, the Ninth Circuit correctly interprets the law and then the Supreme Court improperly imposes its ideology.”

L2 “There are some nice enough folks on the Supreme Court, but law just is not their forte.”

L1 “They say that the conjunction ‘but’ is an acronym that means ‘behold utter truth’ because everything before the word ‘but’ in a sentence is a polite untruth.”

L2 “The Republic will require at least 50 years if not a century to recover from the lawlessness and criminality at work and in play at the Supreme Court today. But it may not recover.”

. . .

D “Do you trust the police?”

L “No. You?”

D “No. But you are White and in the ruling class?”

L “The petit bourgeoisie perhaps, but hardly in the ruling class. Look at you. You are White and in the ruling class.”

D “The medical guild? At least you are a sustaining member of the rule class. You make the rules, you break the rules. Imagine what would happen if I were not in the White class.”

L “No need to imagine.”

D “I try not to interface with the police, because they just get in my face. The last police officer who pulled me over when I was driving at precisely the speed limit said that if I moved in any way, he would shoot and then charge me with resisting arrest and attempting a battery on a police officer. Then he laughed and said to produce a driver’s license and proof of insurance without taking my hands off the steering wheel. When a White person who abides the law cannot even abide the law, the system is profoundly broken.”

L “The first fifteen seconds are critical. I got a trooper talking about his success on opening day and was let off with a warning. Saved by gadwalls and pintails. And I had been burning the carbon off the rings before he arrested my momentum and let me off with a warning.”

D “So I need to shoot a gun not to get shot.”

L “I have seen the police serve as a private army for private parties against those who are not connected. And the judges who are petitioned to remedy the situation do not care at all as long as they get paid their regular pay check and handsome pension. That’s the solution. Before you get pulled over, you need to be a judge first. The cops apologize and wish the judge a good day. Drink with candid judges to get the full story.”

D “I’ll pass. Or stay in my lane and stay below the speed limit. The last time a neighbor called the cops, the cops would not respond until halftime. And the home team was not even in scoring position in the second quarter.”

L “I had someone try to invade the house and the cops discounted it as petty vandalism without a second thought. Petty vandalism is not investigated. Judges have said privately that cops lie all the time under oath on the stand. When I asked a judge why he always accepts their testimony, he stated without hesitation that he is paid to believe the cops.”

D “A judge on the ethical take who takes the cop’s word. At least they did not discount the possible home invasion as mere hooliganism. You can understand those who observe: ‘When seconds counts, the police are minutes away.’ The cops are a quarter or an inning or a period away. We are on our own.”

. . .

L “Congress should pass omnibus legislation that repudiates and repeals and pre-empts each and every forfeiture statute of any kind by any government at any time under any circumstances. When police shake down a citizen today, they can later allege that they were engaged in a civil forfeiture in the field.”

D “Get a car or a boat or a plane that the cops don’t want to steal from you. They always want money.”

. . .

D “I am not even a lawyer, but I could see that the prosecutor Bob McCulloch sent clear signals to the grand jury. The grand jury had heard dozens of cases in previous weeks that included a suggestion by the prosecutor to return a bill. Except in that one case. The grand jury obeyed. The process failed. Now and forever, there is no way for the process to unfail. Law is too important and complex to leave to the lawyers and judges.”

L “Rest assured, prosecutors lie all the time.”

D “Lawyers and judges rationalize their many mistakes by saying that time has passed and the matter is over. My colleagues bury our mistakes when we bury the body. Yet, your violations to the body politic live on forever. One of the lingering problems is that there are many bad if not evil characters out there who are far more of a threat than the police, yet the police are the only ones who threaten me.”

L “The country needs to debate a national truce or there will be continued strife.”
