Articles like these indicate the current push for a constitutional amendment to limit donations from for profit business concerns are heading us in the right direction.

I checked out the property records of several sitting justices trying to figure out why my SLAPP claim was summarily dismissed over my right to publish this blog and found out why.  After taking a seat on the SCOI, several justices went from modest $300k bungalows on the south side they had owned for decades to $2 million mansions either in Streetervlle or in Evanston.

This has to stop.  Illinois has a bad enough reputation already for corruption.  These justices have to give that money back. It looks bad for Illinois.  In the current system, after a judge runs and gets a seat he or she can then empty out what is left over in their campaign fund, which creates a pile of case from “permanent friends” of the court.

It’s a really, really bad system.

When Illinois courts are for sale, the citizens of Illinois suffer. Current statistics are that for profit corporatons win over the little guy now in court at a rate of 80%.

I could not figure out when, when I sued Chase over exhorbitant over draft fees of $25 to $35 each, the court would not say that is illegal, breach of contract does not create a windfall to a large corporation, the rule of law for everyone else is that the aggrieved party only gets lost profits.  Hence, Chase should have only received pennies for the overdrafts, instead they get a windfall and the consumer gets heavily screwed with no justice.  There have been some inroads made, but not for the little guy.

The case was transferred to a number of different judges where it ended up at Patrick Sherlock and he kept on deny any and all complaints.

The case was started in Oct 2009 and basically went no where until Mar 2011.  I could not figure out why.  Now I’m on the 18th floor all the time and I have a blog with tons of attorney “don’t mention my name, but let me tell you****” I know why.

If you’re an Illinois citizen you have to understand what is currently going on in our courts.  It’s as systemic as ebola.  While the news papers are crying about ebola and a vaccine or whatever, our courts are degrading into something unrecognizable as halls of justice.

Check out the cases on this blog regarding the right to Free Speech.  It has been preempted by the the likes of Stern, Farenga, Jerome Larin and his “litigation department”–who cares not for whistleblowers.

Richard Fine, is currently in solitary confinement for his actions in changing the judicial system in California.  I will get the people to write, fax, call and demand his release so that our court system again functions as not an arm of big, connected business, but as a place of justice.

It’s time for us to note that Lady Justice is no longer blind.  She is being handed wads of cash by big business interests in one hand and making decisions based upon that.

And when the courts are not open, honest, just and democratic, the people will take it to the streets and to the internet where they cannot shut us down.

The 7th circuit called this blog “a vendetta”.  Since when is a blog, supported by over 65,000 views, together with NASGA and Probate Sharks and even Activist Post which gets over one million views per article–a vendetta?

Are they going after the lawyers at the Chicago Tribune for publishing that the Illinois Courts are for sale in at least 3 articles?  Heck no.  They go after elderly Jewish lawyers, mothers of 4 running a social justice charity and an African immigrant instead.  They are the ultimate in being bullies for whom the law does not and dare not apply.

Tomorrow will be voting day.  Check  out the internet and make informed choices regarding the judges that sit on our benches.  Make sure they are pro-first amendment, pro-consumer, pro women and children’s rights
