Re: Proposal to join forces with Mothers in the Legal Profession who wrote “An open letter of thanks to Dr. Blasey Ford”
Dear Mr. Scott and Ms. Heil,
If you had only bothered to read my article, you would have realized that I do not state even once that I believe or disbelieve either Dr. Ford or Judge Kavanaugh.
You diminish your credibility when you hazard a comment or a reasonless conclusion on an article that you have not read.
Had you managed to read all the way down to the first paragraph, you would have understood what the purpose of the article is:
“I am a male non-partisan doctor of law and lawyer in New York City. I read with interest your letter in support of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford. I would like to join forces with you to advance our common cause of exposing abusive judges and judges’ abuse…I too fight abuse, in particular, that of judges who as a consequence of their unaccountability risklessly engage in abuse of power that injures women as well as men.”

Dear Mothers in the Legal Profession and the 1,600 who sign the NYT ad,
I am a male non-partisan doctor of law and lawyer in New York City. I read with interest your letter in support of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford. I would like to join forces with you to advance our common cause of exposing abusive judges and judges’ abuse.
Indeed, your letter caught my attention when you wrote:
In particular, we support women who take a stand to call out and fight injustice in many forms, including all manner of personal and professional abuse that targets or disproportionately affects women…We have watched with growing concern as questions mount regarding Judge Kavanaugh’s truthfulness, judgment, and character. As practitioners who interact with the judiciary on a daily basis, we thank you for coming forward to make that bench stronger through critical examination of those nominated to serve as judges.
I too fight abuse, in particular, that of judges who as a consequence of their unaccountability risklessly engage in abuse of power that injures women as well as men.
Hence, I too advocate for a “bench stronger” as a result of judges having been rendered accountable and liable to the victims of their abuse. Those victims want to come out of their silence and share the self-assertiveness of the MeToo! public, who has grown intolerant of “injustice in many forms”.
You, the Mothers, and I, want to expose more than just sexual abuse; and your constituents are also in my constituency. Jointly, we can advocate for them more cost-effectively.
We should join forces because abuse develops insidiously: Even candidates for judgeships or justiceships deemed today to be “the most honorable public servants, who can be trusted to treat all litigants with fairness and respect”,but who are exempt “for decades to come” from any accountability will progressively abuse their power. This is so because “power corrupts, and absolute power [whose hallmark is unaccountability] corrupts absolutely”(*>jur:27fn28).
That corruptive effect of power is shown in the open letter below addressed to Sen. Chuck Grassley, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, and the other members of the Senate Judiciary Committee to “assist the Senate with this crucial vetting process”.
The letter’s distinguishing feature is that it does not rely on the account of “personally victimized women”, who are victimized once more by those politicians that have already prejudged what Dr. Ford has yet to say and self-interestedly dismissed it.
Rather, the letter below relies on the official statistics(§F infra) that Judge Kavanaugh, Chief Judge Garland Merrick of the same District of Columbia Circuit (DCC), and their peers have by law submitted to Congress for the last 11 years. Those statistics show that of the 478 complaints lodged with DCC about them they have dismissed the 478: Through complicity and secrecy they have devised and enforced an unlawful policy of 100% self-exoneration to escape any discipline.
We are lawyers and as such recognize that nothing impeaches a person’s credibility as his or her own contradictory words and actions. J. Kavanaugh’s policy of 100% dismissal of complaints about him and his peers indisputably exposes his partiality toward himself and his peers; and his unfairness to the plight of complainants. Thus, it provides probable cause to believe that his dismissal of Dr. Ford’s story follows that same policy and is motivated by the same partiality and unfairness.
How many of those 478 complaints tabulated in the official statistics concern sexual abuse and harassment by J. Kavanaugh and his peers?
How many similar complaints and incidents are mentioned in the more than 100,000 pages that the White House has refused to disclose?
To know that, you, I, and all advocates of an honest judicial confirmation process need one or more ‘allies’ in the Judiciary Committee, in particular, and the Senate, in general, as well as all possible ‘allies’ in the media and the national public.
Thus, n ot only can “we demand that the senators listen to your story, [Dr. Ford], and treat you with respect”, but we can also provide them with non-partisan, objective statistics officially submitted to, and accepted by, them on which they can rely to impeach J. Kavanaugh’s credibility, impartiality, and fairness, regardless of whether they choose to believe the circumstantial evidence supporting Dr. Ford’s story.
Many senators will feel that they cannot confirm J. Kavanaugh upon learning that he has abused his power to ‘pardon’ himself and his peers, and do so secretly while pretending to be processing according to law complaints about them.
Consequently, I respectfully request that we join forces, and to that end, that you:
- read the open letter below and contact me;
- share the letter with the signatories of your letter, like-minded people, and the media;
- persuade them to email it, and follow-up with a call, to at least two of the senators whose contact information is in §G infra so as to cause them at the hearing on Thursday, September 27, to rely on official statistics to question the impartiality, fairness, and respect for the law of J. Kavanaugh, and by extension, of all other judges who have abused their power to exempt themselves from accountability while leaving complainants at the mercy of complained-about judges and those who cover up for them.
Let’s think strategically and argue the senators’ case: If for the first time ever and on national television, a senator adopts this line of questioning based on non-partisan, official statistics analyzed by the objective “math of abuse”, that senator can gain reputationally so much as to become the modern equivalent of Sen. Howard Baker when at the Senate Watergate hearings he asked his famous question, “What did the President know and when did he know it?” That senator’s question may be:
Did you find that 100% of complainants had fabricated stories, as you say Dr. Ford has, or did you find that you and 100% of your peers can do no wrong, for you are Judges Above the Law?
That senator’s performance can be so remarkable and effective in exposing J. Kavanaugh’s judicial unfitness –and that of so many other unaccountable abusive judges– as to lay the foundation for her or his reelection campaign or a 2020 presidential bid as the national Champion of Justice.
Time is of the essence. We should get in touch as soon as possible.

You can forward this email to
the members of
the Senate Committee on the Judiciary at
https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/about/members
see also the addresses in §G infra
(You may cut this email at the bottom to fit the inline email form)
Senator Chuck Grassley, Senator Dianne Feinstein
Senate Committee on the Judiciary
U.S. Senate
Washington, D.C.
Dear Sen. Grassley, Sen. Feinstein, and Committee Members,
This email is intended to be of interest to you because it concerns the conduct of Judge Brett Kavanaugh based, not on allegations or opinions, but rather on the official statistics of the District of Columbia Circuit (DCC), required under 28 U.S.C. §604(h)(2) to be submitted to Congress and the public annually by the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts.
You and your colleagues in Congress have without dispute accepted those statistics for decades; are presumed to be familiar with them; and have relied on them to oversee the performance of the federal courts.
Hence, the information hereunder will enable you to question J. Kavanaugh at the hearings scheduled for September 27 on a basis trusted by you, verifiable by others, and persuasive thanks to its objective demonstration by ‘the math of abuse’ of power.
- J. Kavanaugh has participated in the dismissal of 100% of the 478 complaints about him and his peers lodged with DCC
- Theofficial statistics at stake here concern the handling by J. Kavanaugh and his peers of complaints about them in the 1oct06-30sep17 11-year period during which he has served on DCC. Those statistics and their analysis can be retrieved through the links in §F infra.
- The statistics show that 478 complaints about them were lodged. He tolerated the dismissal of the 478 of them regardless of their gravity and without any investigation, except in one case, which also ended up in complaint dismissal; as a current member of the DCC Judicial Council, he has participated in the 100% denial of petitions to review those dismissals.
- Such 100% record betrays his and his peers’ complicity in an unlawful agreement to protect each other from any adverse consequences of their complained-about conduct. Theirs is not the “good Behaviour” required by the Constitution, Article III, Section 1(*>jur:22fn12a), but rather behavior in dereliction of duty.
- Indeed, the essence of being a judge is being impartial and fair. That is how a judge conducts himself who is faithful to his oath of office(*>jur:53fn90), and thereby discharges his duty, to uphold the law.
- Judge Kavanaugh has shown that he is neither impartial between complainants and complained-about judges nor fair to the plight of complainants, other parties, and the rest of the public, whom he has recklessly left at the mercy of complained-about judges regardless of the gravity of their alleged misconduct. He has held himself and his peers unaccountable. As a result of such assurance of risklessness, he has emboldened himself and them to keep engaging in ever graver misconduct.
- J. Kavanaugh’s partiality and unfairness in covering up for himself and his peers in DCC provide probable cause to believe that he:
- covered up the sexual misconduct of Former 9thCircuit Chief Judge Alex Kozinski, for whom he clerked and with whom he interviewed prospective clerks for Supreme Court justices; and
- covers up for himself regarding the sexual assault accusations of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford.
- That probable cause is undergirded by my study of judges and their judiciaries(e.g.,*>jur:21§§1-3), which is titled and downloadable thus:

This email is at OL2:768.
- Judge Kavanaugh’s conduct contradicts his statement “I’m a pro-law judge” and renders it perjurious
- J. Kavanaugh has acquiesced and enforced DCC’s institutionalized cover-up of his and his peers’ complained-about conduct. So, he has impeached his assertion under oath during his confirmation hearings that ‘he is not a pro-prosecution or pro-defense judge, but rather he is a pro-law judge’. If he were the latter, he would have denounced and refused to apply DCC’s unlawful policy of 100% exoneration of judges.
- On the contrary, he and his peers have arrogated to themselves the power to abrogate in effect, and risklessly show contempt for, the law governing complaints about judges: the Judicial Conduct and Disability Act of 1980 (28 U.S.C. §§351-364;jur:24fn18a).
- In defiance of the law, J. Kavanaugh has protected his and his peers’ interest in escaping any discipline resulting from their complained-about conduct, while depriving complainants of their fundamental due process right: to be heard. They abuse their power to elevate themselves as Judges Above the Law(*>OL:5fn6).
- Issues for the Senate Judiciary Committee to question J. Kavanaugh on
- The official statistics allow the Committee to challenge him onhisenforcementof the DCC unlawful policy of 100% exoneration of himself and his peers from complaints about them.
- The Committee can require that J. Kavanaugh disclose his copies of all complaints involving him. All complaints are self-interestedly kept secret, contrary to the tenet “Justice should not only be done, but should manifestly and undoubtedly be seen to be done”(*>jur:44fn71). Such secrecy prevents ascertaining the nature, extent, and gravity of individual and collective misconduct, and detecting its patterns and trends.
- Also, the Committee can examine all the statements that J. Kavanaugh may have made concerning the Catholic Church’s decades-old policy of covering for abusive priests while leaving at their mercy ever more Church members and the rest of the public. Do his statements reveal the partiality and unfairness of a hypocritical double standard in favor of himself and his peers? Can he claim to be a pro-law judge when his conduct is guided by what is anathema to his duty as such: “The Law is NOT Equal For All”?
- Let the Committee question him on the official statistics(§F infra)showing that he and his peers do not even read the majority of briefs, never mind write the dispositive orders(cf.†>OL2:546¶¶4-7). Their pretense at applying the law to briefs that they have not read causes injury in fact and renders them liable to a host of causes of action(OL2:729).
- Such abusive conduct prompts the emergence from aMeToo!public intolerant of any form of abuse of a national movement of current, former, and prospective parties to demand that the courts refund filing fees, pay damages, and require judges to dispose of each case by writing a decision and that it be reasoned and address the brief section “Relief Requested”.
- Requested action from you in your own andWe the People‘s interest
- Questioning J. Kavanaugh and all judicial candidates based, not on allegations and opinions, but rather on their own statistics will draw to you significant media and public attention. It can establish the framework for a bipartisan approach on the objective basis of “the math of abuse”.
- Such questioning can attract the attention of a huge (OL2:719¶¶6-8) untapped voting bloc: The Dissatisfied With The Judicial And Legal System. They are waiting for a courageous politician to expose unaccountable judges’ riskless abuse of power. You can become their national Champion of Justice.
- Thus, I respectfully request that you:
- question J Kavanaugh using the official statistics of his and his peers, as discussed above;
- publish this email on your website; and otherwise share and post it widely;
- share it with the journalists that cover you and ask them to have their media outlets publish it.
- The publication of this email can set in motion a generalized media investigation into judges’ abuse similar to the one into sexual abuse sparked byThe New York Times‘s publication of its Harvey Weinstein exposé. It will be traced back to your concern for integrity and accountability in the federal and state judiciaries. It can lay the foundation for your reelection campaign and even a presidential bid.
- My offer of a presentation
- The above shows the kind of strategic thinking(OL2:445§B, 475§D) that informs the presentation that I offer to make to you, your colleagues, and supporters on what you can gain by exposing unaccountable judges’ riskless abuse of power.
- So I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience. Meantime, I kindly request that you acknowledge receipt of this email.
Sincerely,
Dr. Richard Cordero, Esq.
