NASGA stands behind Ken Ditkowsky and so do I

please post and comment on this blog and on the NASGA blog

okay to publish I assume?  Well done.  What I say and you say about a case we’re not appearing on is none of the IARDC’s business.  and if you want to announce it to the world you’re investigating the lack of service upon Mary, then you should be applauded and not made a pariah.

thanks

A bad complaint results in a bad answer.    The complaint filed by the IARDC concerning you (and me) has uncorrected several problems.  1) the complaint is meritless.    Pursuant to Citizen’s United it is now an absolute that no government agency (including the IARDC) has the authority to regulate citizen based speech.   A citizen, including a quasi citizen such as a corporation, has an absolute to be critical of government officials including the President of the United States.    Thus, the authorship of a ‘blog’ being critical of a public official such as Cynthia Farenga, Peter Schmiedel, or Adam Stern is not within the mission statement of the IARDC to regulate.   2) The Congress of the United States provided Statutory protection in 74  USCA 230 for the author of the blog and the blog itself.   3) The Congress of the United States provided statutory protection for the author of the blog by the Copyright laws of the United STates of America.    Complying with the dictates of Cynthia Farenga (smoking gun letter) is not an proper usage of copyrighted material.   (see Letter from Cynthia Farenga to IARDc attorney Lea Black requesting aid in stopping call for HONEST investigation of Sykes and similar cases).

I realize how important it is to the IARDC to protect the ability of certain judicial officials to protect the cottage industry created by certain favored lawyers to separate senior citizens from their liberty and property and in particular to prevent dissemination of information concerning the ‘theft’ of over a million dollars in assets from Mary Sykes’ safety deposit box, the dissipation of Alice Gore’s 1.5 million dollar estate and the lack of inventory of the gold fillings that we removed from her teeth, etc.    However, the governmental priorities of the IARDC (and its administrator) of aiding and abetting the separation of selected senior citizens from their families, friends, liberty, and property has run into the RULE OF LAW and the ethical and moral problem expressed by the words and phrases of the First, Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution.

Lawyers who do not recognize the RULE OF LAW and terrorists who strike at the core of America!    I’ve copied Senator Kirk’s office and General Holder as the American Taliban cancer is eating away at our Democracy.     I previously wrote Senator Durbin – his office sent me back a form letter which in words and phrase said he was not interested!    Democracy is not a spectator sport!

okay to publish, I assume, she DOES need a wellness check

It is time for another wellness check for Mary Sykes  –  family attempts to locate her and check on her have been un-successful.

Let me make this very clear  – there have been too many instances in which elderly people who are subject to the ‘cottage industry’ of judicially sanction ‘elder cleansing’ have conveniently ‘died.’   The death is followed with a quick cremation and the labeling of the victim’s families as bunch of nuts.   Rudy Bush’s mother (in Colorado) is one of many of those situations.

As the ‘august participants’ of the cottage industry of judicially sanctioned elder cleansing have targeted Mary Sykes and they have prevented her two sisters, her younger daughter, her friends, and family from having telephone, physical or any contact with her we do not intend to assist in the project.    We therefore demand regular welfare checks of Mary Sykes and that the information obtained, if any, be freely available to the public.

Even though it has been ruled by the Illinois Attorney Registration and Discipline commission that it is unethical to write law enforcement or anyone else objecting to the program of ‘elder cleansing’ as a citizen without regret or repentance I want you to know that this is a serious problem and I have copied the office of Senator Mark Kirk and General Eric Holder of this request for a wellness check.

While I do not expect ‘foul play’ in the event that Mary Sykes should pass away, I want it made very clear that she is not be cremated without notification to her family and a full investigation being made.   We have no intention of allowing the ‘deserving promulgators of elder cleansing’ to not account for the approximately a million dollars of uninventoried assets that Ms. Sykes and others have revealed to have been placed in the possession of the plenary guardian.

Thank you for your courtesy and co-operation.

from janet phelan:

http://www.activistpost.com/2011/04/misfortune-of-inheriting.html

this article shows you how to kill a disabled person, then hide assets and swipe them from the estate.   Thanks, Janet for giving me this link.  I stand behind your investigative reporting sills.

One of the things during Ken’s trial that the ARDC didn’t like, and it was pretty much the main theme– and what I pretty missed during my original reading of “Citizen’s United” a year ago, (and Ken has been right about this all along) is that content oriented speech that is private in nature is fully protected by the First Amendment.

And then, of course he told me an old war story, a story about how for some odd reason he was given an immigration case that was “deemed hopeless”.

Turned out the gentleman was an engineer.  He was from China years ago.  To summarize, when the “Reds” came thru his hometown,  many of his relatives were murdered. That was the “first wave”.  Second wave, third wave, well you get the picture, everyone was gone and he was hiding in the forest, cellars, haystacks, where ever to survive.

Eventually he made his way to Hong Kong, worked hard, managed to get a degree in engineering by climbing a lot of barbed wire and lived there for awhile as a young boy and then a young man. Then he made his way onto a merchant marine ship when the Reds were after him again (for being from the wrong town, the wrong family, who knows).  He worked on the ship for about 7 years and then came to the US.  He lived there for many years, until the US got caught him and said he had to leave.  Ken got the case because many other attys turned it down, saying it was hopeless, so how could he screw it up knowing nothing about immigration.  So Ken studied the laws.  Determined that because Mr. Engineer lived in the US for more than 7 years, his case was a priority.  BUT the USG atty said, you didn’t read the full act.  This guy doesn’t get priority because the act specifically exempts people who came off a boat acting as seaman.  So, Ken argued before the court, well, the man was an engineer before he got on the ship, he worked as a seaman, but that never changed the fact he was an engineer because he held a degree in engineering.

The court held with that argument,  the man was entitled to priority as a refugee seeking political asylum.  Now, that does not mean the rest of story made his immigration easy, because in the US we have decided that while most of us WERE immigrants who had NO immigration policy when our ancestors came here without highly restrictive (and ridiculous) laws, NOW we have to piss on the rest of the world, but I digress.

Getting back to the case at hand, the ARDC proposes that because lawyers take an oath of office to “uphold the US and Illinois constitutions” we can no longer speak about corruption.  Imagine all that.  We give up our Free Speech rights and the right to be a member of the Free Press–deemed essential to the preservation of a solid democracy, as stated in the First Amendment.

As many of your oldsters might recall, there was a cute old movie that won many prestigious awards about “Mr. Smith goes to Washington” and what did Mr. Smith find? Corruption.

Turns out, mentioning the fact back in that era of 1939 if you mentioned that Washington DC was corrupt, it could get your movie banned! Yep, that’s right.  And that fact is even mentioned in the Citizen’s United case.  I love it when the US supremes talk about a movie!

I don’t recall from the movie if Mr. Smith were a lawyer, but according to the ARDC if he mentioned the word corruption or let that movie be produced and distributed, he would be guilty of misconduct, violations of Rules 8.3 and 8.4 and disbarred.

I simply cannot imagine anyone in their right mind disbarring Jimmy Stewart, but if I had to choose someone to do it under gunpoint, I would definitely anoint the team of attorneys Jerome Larkin, Leah Black, Melissa Smith and Sharon Opryszek and Mr. Apostol.

I don’t get it.  President Clinton gets disbarred for lying during a deposition that a BJ with an intern isn’t “sex” (it’s private oral massage) BUT certain miscreants get a free pass when they lie to deprive a certain elderly woman of service, notice and her elderly sisters of notice, so Mary Sykes has no liberties, property rights, human and civil rights.

All ex Pres did was get a BJ and he gets disbarred.  Attys in Illinois stand idly by while millions disappear, lie about serving subpoenas according to the Record on Appeal, lie about service on the alleged disabled and the sisters, lie about all sorts of things DIRECTLY TO THE COURT, and they get free parking money of $2000, a couple of “get out of jail” cards,  they pass go and get their $200 income for the year, and benefist and health care.  Leah Black got a promotion for prosecuting an honest attorney, if you look at the record–or was that just a convenient coincidence for looking the other way (“gambling? there’s gambling going on in here?” whisper “sir, here’s your winnings”).  All the while I work for almost no money for victims of corruption and I have little heat during the winter, BUT I DON’T CARE.

But I can get disbarred or suspended for misconduct?  Something’s amiss in River City, that’s for sure.

All good questions, now where are the answers.

http://www.ditkowskylawoffice.com/

One of the problems that has cropped up in running this blog is that many of my sources are attorneys that do not want any flack from the ARDC, and I would like to protect my sources, which I am willing to do.

But if anyone knows of some good press credentials for myself and this blog, plmk.

take care

joanne

One of the issues cropping up in Ken and mine ARDC’s case is are the rules under 8.3 and 8.4 that provide, ( this is right from the Complaint sent to me):

a. making a statement that the lawyer knows to be false or
with reckless disregard as to its truth or falsity concerning
the qualifications or integrity of a judge, adjudicatory
officer or public legal officer, in violation of Rule 8.2 of the
Illinois Rules of Professional Conduct;
b. conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or
misrepresentation, in violation of Rule 8.4C of the Illinois
Rules of Professional Conduct;
c. conduct that is prejudicial to the administration of justice,
in violation of Rule 8.4C of the Illinois Rules of
Professional Conduct;

Now, when these rules are applied to conduct by an attorney for lying to the court, stealing, fraud, theft and embezzlement, even a DUI or sexual abuse, murder, etc., the rules are clear.  There is truly no problem in applying them.

The problem comes in, when the activities complained of encompass free speech activities of lawyers, and especially when they are applied to disseminating news or blogging.  Then, the lawyer stands or should stand as a citizen to her job and the First Amendment should be given as wide a berth as possible.

In this case, the ARDC seems to  think that an attorney cannot blog about corruption, irregularities, lack of service upon participants because that brings “disrepute” to the court system, when in fact it is the exact opposite.

One of the cases that KDD found which has some great language for keeping the First Amendment broad is Citizens United.  Most of you should know the case because it created a furror when SCOTUS said 1) that corporations are elevated to the status of “person” when determining First Amendment rights and 2) it is part of free speech to make campaign donations to particular candidates to promote who should be elected or who should not be elected.  The net effect of this decision is that corporations can now douse politicians with money who will support a corporate agenda that might be anti-green, anti-union, anit-worker, etc. and many people are fearful of that.

However, for the purposes of First Amendment rights, here are some excerpts of yours and my and Ken’s First Amendment rights.  One of the things that the ARDC is skipping is the fact that the First Amendment has to be given the broadest scope possible.  It has to allow people to speak out against corruption and prior ARDC cases were concerned with that.  In fact, I believe before Atty. Lanre’s case, I don’t know of an attorney disciplined for speaking out against corruption in the courts. The blogging world and even the Chicago Trib has stories of it, but for some reason the ARDC thinks attorneys should not mention it.

I have no idea where all of that came from.

In fact, if you read Ken’s ARDC decision closely, the tribunal was clearly disappointed that his behavior in court was perfect.  He did not yell, scream or shout obscenities like other lawyers did that got disbarred for ranting and raving and calling judges “corrupt”, “crooks”, etc.

All KDD did was call for an investigation.

Calling for an investigation is NOT the same as filing a police report or demanding prosecution.  It is merely calling for the police and the GAL’s to do their job.  Go out and investigate.  Pull bank records.  Look at the house, get involved.

Where this escapes everyone, I don’t understand.

From Citizen’s United and Ken’s brief, some great quotes:

with respect to blogging:

“Courts, too, are bound by the First Amendment. We must decline to draw, and then redraw, constitutional lines based on the particular media or technology used to disseminate political speech from a particular speaker.   Citizens United v. Fed. Election Comm’n, 558 U.S. 310, 326, 130 S. Ct. 876, 891, 175 L. Ed. 2d 753 (2010)

“The First Amendment provides that “Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech.” Laws enacted to control or suppress speech may operate at different points in the speech process. The following are just a few examples of restrictions that have been attempted at different stages of the speech process—all laws found to be invalid: restrictions requiring a permit at the outset, Watchtower *337 Bible & Tract Soc. of N.Y., Inc. v. Village of Stratton, 536 U.S. 150, 153, 122 S.Ct. 2080, 153 L.Ed.2d 205 (2002); imposing a burden by impounding proceeds on receipts or royalties, Simon & Schuster, Inc. v. Members of N.Y. State Crime Victims Bd., 502 U.S. 105, 108, 123, 112 S.Ct. 501, 116 L.Ed.2d 476 (1991); seeking to exact a cost after the speech occurs, New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, 376 U.S., at 267, 84 S.Ct. 710; and subjecting the speaker to **897 criminal penalties, Brandenburg v. Ohio, 395 U.S. 444, 445, 89 S.Ct. 1827, 23 L.Ed.2d 430 (1969) (per curiam).   Citizens United v. Fed. Election Comm’n, 558 U.S. 310, 336-37, 130 S. Ct. 876, 896-97, 175 L. Ed. 2d 753 (2010)

The Citizen’s United  has over-ruled Palmisano with the following dicta, to wit:
“While some means of communication may be less effective than others at influencing the public in different contexts, any effort by the Judiciary to decide which means of communications are to be preferred for the particular type of message and speaker would raise questions as to the courts’ own lawful authority. Substantial questions would arise if courts were to begin saying what means of speech should be preferred or disfavored. And in all events, those differentiations might soon prove to be irrelevant or outdated by technologies that are in rapid flux. See Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. v. FCC, 512 U.S. 622, 639, 114 S.Ct. 2445, 129 L.Ed.2d 497 (1994).

“**891 6 Courts, too, are bound by the First Amendment. We must decline to draw, and then redraw, constitutional lines based on the particular media or technology used to disseminate political speech from a particular speaker. It must be noted, moreover, that this undertaking would require substantial litigation over an extended time, all to interpret a *327 law that beyond doubt discloses serious First Amendment flaws. The interpretive process itself would create an inevitable, pervasive, and serious risk of chilling protected speech pending the drawing of fine distinctions that, in the end, would themselves be questionable. First Amendment standards, however, “ must give the benefit of any doubt to protecting rather than stifling speech.” WRTL, 551 U.S., at 469, 127 S.Ct. 2652 (opinion of ROBERTS, C.J.) (citing New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, 376 U.S. 254, 269–270, 84 S.Ct. 710, 11 L.Ed.2d 686 (1964))”    Citizens United v. Fed. Election Comm’n, 558 U.S. 310, 326-27, 130 S. Ct. 876, 890-91, 175 L. Ed. 2d 753 (2010)

The Virginia State Bar case 2013 WL 749494 is consistent with The Supreme Court decisions that over-rule the district Court decision of Palmisano.
United States v. Stevens, 559 U.S. 460, 130 S. Ct. 1577, 1584, 176 L. Ed. 2d 435 (2010)   _ the Court stated:
“From 1791 to the present,” however, the First Amendment has “permitted restrictions upon the content of speech in a few limited areas,” and has never “include[d] a freedom to disregard these traditional limitations.” Id., at 382–383, 112 S.Ct. 2538. These “historic and traditional categories long familiar to the bar,” Simon & Schuster, Inc. v. Members of N.Y. State Crime Victims Bd., 502 U.S. 105, 127, 112 S.Ct. 501, 116 L.Ed.2d 476 (1991) (KENNEDY, J., concurring in judgment)—including obscenity, Roth v. United States, 354 U.S. 476, 483, 77 S.Ct. 1304, 1 L.Ed.2d 1498 (1957), defamation, Beauharnais v. Illinois, 343 U.S. 250, 254–255, 72 S.Ct. 725, 96 L.Ed. 919 (1952), fraud, Virginia Bd. of Pharmacy v. Virginia Citizens Consumer Council, Inc., 425 U.S. 748, 771, 96 S.Ct. 1817, 48 L.Ed.2d 346 (1976), incitement, Brandenburg v. Ohio, 395 U.S. 444, 447–449, 89 S.Ct. 1827, 23 L.Ed.2d 430 (1969) (per curiam ), and speech integral to criminal conduct, Giboney v. Empire Storage & Ice Co., 336 U.S. 490, 498, 69 S.Ct. 684, 93 L.Ed. 834 (1949)—are “well-defined and narrowly limited classes of speech, the prevention and punishment of which have never been thought to raise any Constitutional problem.” Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire, 315 U.S. 568, 571–572, 62 S.Ct. 766, 86 L.Ed. 1031 (1942).   United States v. Stevens, 559 U.S. 460, 130 S. Ct. 1577, 1584, 176 L. Ed. 2d 435 (2010)
The Right to be critical and even disrespectful to elected officials is demonstrated on a daily basis and is clearly a protected activity under the First Amendment.

COVER MESSAGE
See attached CV for 253 disclosure.
I am also waiting to hear if you need for discovery
1) complete Record on Appeal for Sykes 09 P 4585 because
it shows there were no Sodini notices served and there is
no affidavit of Service upon Mary Sykes. This is huge and
will need to be put on disk. if you want paper, we do not
have that any longer. the file is at 160 N Lasalle. All
we keep are pixels.
2) any other items you want for written discovery. I made
a post if any bloggers want to disclose any confidential
emails they have sent me in the past to send to the ARDC
and will let you know if I get any response. You have not
asked for a privileged document list, so I am not
providing that yet. If you need one, I will also post
that and see if anyone responds.
3) also, Ken Ditkowsky’s video for appearing on Cooper’s
Corner I found on You tube at
http://www.chicagolawbulletin.com/Law-Day/2013/04/27/Free-!
or you can google it.
4) I am still in the process of creating a file to upload
to the copyright office and of course, you can have a copy
of that. I will make it available to you in the next few
days.
5) PLMK if you fax does not work then can I email you? Or
should I just print out the fax and keep on trying. I am
trying to remember to also send everything to
illinois.ardc@gmail.com, but sometimes I forget. I note
you have not opened up anything there. Please note the

and I will pass it along.

The ARDC has served discovery on me and Requests for Documents.   Since I have nothing to hide and this blog has nothing to hide, please send along anything you think they ought to know, especially about the Sykes case.

I know you all have sent me a whole lot of emails and other communications, so if you are releasing those to the ARDC, please send them along to me again, esp. in a PDF or wordprocessing document file and I will make those available for inspection and copying.

If you are claiming privilege, the ARDC has NOT asked for a privileged documents list, so don’t bother with that yet.

thanks

and the comments are very interesting.  One of the hallmarks of a democracy is free and open and transparent courtrooms.  However, ****.

While the ARDC is asserting that I and KDD “bring disrespect” to the Illinois probate court system, this blog and KDD’s emails, this blog only started in Nov. 2011 and KDD only became involved in Sykes Probate 09 P 4585 since early 2019.

See the Link below and you will see the problems I talk about have been in existence long before Ken’s emails started a-flowin’ and I started this blog dedicated to cleaning up and keeping our Illinois Probate courts transparent, honest, reliable, ethical and most of all, a place of justice!

Re: JoAnne Denison and Kenneth Ditkowsky matters
Dear Ms. Smart,
I am forwarding a copy of this note to your attorney, as well as to your
executives.
Pardon the informality.
I am shocked by your letter of May 31,2013 in light of the revelation of the
‘smoking gun’ letter and exhibits that the IARDC produced from Cynthia
Farenga. I trust you are aware of the import of Ms. Farenga’s letter, but
apparently are not concerned that what has been revealed is a conscious
and concerted effort to interfere with the civil rights (First Amendment) of
both Ms. Denison and myself. In words and phrases Ms. Farenga
successfully requests that the IARDC act to use its limited authority to
terminate the call for an Investigation of the Sykes and related matters.
The First Amendment, as a ‘core’ of American democracy, bars such
conduct by not only the IARDC, but its agents, servants and attorneys. As
the IARDC by its pleadings mirrors Ms. Farenga’s demands, both Ms.
Denison and I are aggrieved at the open and notorious disregard of our Civil
Rights. The patently illegal disqualification is not a bar to requests for a
complete disclosure that is required after a government entity produces a
‘smoking gun’ fired off by itself. Ms. Smart – what the IARDC has
disclosed, which it produced as exhibit 1 and exhibit 2 attached hereto
and made part hereof, is the IARDC acting in concert with Ms. Farenga
and her cohorts to, under color of law, deny Ms. Denison and me our
Civil Rights.
Both Ms. Denison and I are entitled to a complete disclosure of all the
records of the IARDC that relate to this unconstitutional conduct. This
material should have been produced during discovery in my case, and it
now ought to be produced in Ms. Denison’s case also. It is respectfully
FOI response to Farenga (‘Smoking Gun’) letter and apparent refusal ofIARDC
to produce appropriate records.
suggested that the grievous act continues and that a case can be made that
the conspiracy continues.
Let this letter be deemed a demand under the Freedom of Information Act
by both Ms. Denison and myself for the balance of the material that relates
to the ‘smoking gun’ letter. I am sending you a copy of the ‘smoking gun’
letter for your review. Let this letter be a formal demand for this matter
to be referred to the United States Attorney and the Illinois Attorney
General for ationcc.as to the a arent violations b IARDC

estate of Peter Karoly and his wife, Dr. Lauren Angstadt (not in Illinois)

and those fees apparently don’t even include attorneys for others appearing in the estate and contesting some matters!

An attorney on the losing side of the disputed wills put it more bluntly.

“Oh my God, I’m just blown away,” Richard Angino said. “In a case where individuals have the responsibility of liquidating the assets of the estate, the purpose isn’t to liquidate those assets into your pocket.”

I don’t think this is a new warning to any of you, but be sure of what you want to do when you step onto the 18th floor of the Daley Center.

Now the ARDC contends that attys must be “more proscribed” in their speech and manners, and no one can make false accusations, but then again, look at all the missteps, twisted accusations and blatant lies and misrepresentations in KDD’s trial.  Could the Tribunal have bent over more backwards for the miscreants?  They basically were bending over, grabbing their ankles, waiting for the pounding, whilst all the while saying “thank you sirs, we have been naughty!” over and over.

that betrayed the “smoking gun”.

I agree with you on the wellness check.  Mary will disappear unless we keep the checks up. They should be done every week to 10 days.  AND there should be some sort of provision preventing her from be cremated right away.  C.f.  my other stories of endangered seniors.

Rissman in Indiana is a recent one.  Gore and Drabik aren’t long ago.  For those that have ears willing to hear.

Oh, my goodness.  I can’t believe this is only a draft and I forgot to post this, so I will have to post it again today.

From the Tribunal from May 3, 2013, KDD’s decision, and it’s just more of down the rabbit hole.

Professor Tarkington from Ind. School of Law got it right when she said the Bar Associations frequently use the standard propounded in New York Times v. Sullivan as a dark aberration of what it is intended to be and that results in decisions very far afield of what New York Times meant the first amendment to be, rendering all or most of the decisions invalid because they infringe too greatly upon the constitutional rights of lawyers.

See link below and let me know if you agree:

KDD’s Decision from the Tribunal

From: Anthony Santiny

To: kenneth ditkowsky , “matt_abbott@kirk.senate.gov” , Eric Holder , NASGA , Harry Heckert , probate sharks , j ditkowsky , JoAnne Denison
Subject: Re: report on corruption in cook county

I seconded my own letter to the IARDC as a concerned citizen.

Dear Sir(s),

As a United States citizen who believes in my First Amendment rights, I question the motives of the IARDC in your collective decision related to the above cited case.  How dare you trample on the first amendment! American citizens have a right to freedom of speech and this right is set forth in our Constitution. Lawyers are indeed citizens too, or has that fact escaped the IARDC’s attention? I have reviewed the evidence that led up to your decision and I am appalled. How can a committee made up of people sworn to protect our constitution, supported by U.S. taxpayers, and under oath to protect the rights of U.S. citizens, conspire to usurp the right of an attorney to practice law; whose sole act was requesting a redress of a judicial decision? The case of Mary Sykes, on the face of the evidence, is rife with questionable rulings made by cook county judges. It also reeks of manipulation of the facts by court appointed probate Guardians ad Litem! I have known Kenneth Ditkowsky more than 10 years. Lawyers like Ditkowsky and Joanne Denison give average citizens like myself hope that whenever we seek justice there are honest legal practitioners who will represent our interests well. By restricting their right to practice law, you do the American public a grave disservice. This pure act gives one the impression that the IARDC aligns itself with the very same people who conspire to fleece the elderly and infirm of their rights (and assets). I cannot think of anything as despicable as stealing a person’s life savings; subjecting them to the care of state institutions that serve more as hospice centers than retirement homes. I have seen and read too much evidence that points squarely in the direction of corruption in the courts; where government appointed and elected officials take the prime cut because they do not fear the repercussions. When such a sickness manifests itself, then more and more officials figure its OK to follow suit. Greed sets in and honest citizens become victims of a legal system that aligns itself with campaign donors and fee for seats promoters.

It appears that many Cook County citizens are afraid to come forth and take a stand on Cook County court corruption under fear that their own future probate proceedings could be singled out and “managed” against their wishes; where judges and lawyers use them as scapegoats to quell any dissent that could arise as a result of their unconstitutional and illegal judicial decisions; these acts aimed solely at stealing away estate proceeds to enrich their personal coffers. What a blatant abuse of the public trust!

There was a time when Cook County courts were a shining example of justice. Let us rely once more on the Cook County judicial system to right the wrongs done its citizenry. It is every citizen’s expectation and right to a fair and impartial justice system that supports and promotes the laws of our land; not one that supports cronyism and corruption. Kenneth Ditkowsky and Joanne Denison are honest and trustworthy champions, fighting for the plights of honest citizens, both uncovering and shining a harsh light on corruption in our court systems. These are people the IARDC should be celebrating, not crippling. Please consider dismissing the proceedings against Ditkowsky / Denison and in the process winning back the confidence of American citizens, instead of stoking the fires of their ire.

Our first amendment rights are not negotiable. Help us champion the cause of ridding our courts of corruption instead of emboldening the corrupted with such acts.

Respectfully,

Anthony Santiny
United States Citizen

While it’s hard to image a judge telling court watchers and observers they “can’t take notes”, this judge takes it to a whole other level by telling the gallery “don’t take notes” because you “might influence jurors”!!!!  What?

Why doesn’t he then tell jurors where to look, when to smile or frown, when they can move, how to sit and not move, and finally, he can work on how to breathe!

Judge Evans, you got some company on this one.  Pretty strange company, but yeah, go for it.

It still offends the primary function of a free and democratic society, and that is to have as much press and blogging in court as possible, to not require litigants to have to hire court reporters at $150 per sitting fee and $4 per page.

What about this does he not get?

Not so, grasshoppers:

from Larry Chambers today, a more information on how we have a ton of clean up work to do, so let’s get going:

I think I’ve decided to use the word katymous instead of corruption.  Maybe that will make the ARDC feel better.

And now for an article on how two judges have been charged with possession of recreational pharmaceuticals, and unfortunately, one passed over.

http://news.yahoo.com/illinois-judge-resigns-charges-possessing-heroin-005948500.html

My prayers go out to their families and the court system that they were employed within

One of the interesting things about my case, is the ARDC alleges that this blog “brings the court system and ‘judicial officials’ into disrepute”.  I can’t believe they have ever not Googled corruption and the Illinois courts.

From Larry Chambers:  THANKS LARRY

Another Motion to Dismiss, but this time for lack of jurisdiction.  KDD submits that the ARDC was granted  no authority to regulate the private lives of citizens.  In my case, all I do is blog.  It is a private blog, but transparent. All KDD did was attempt to investigate a case which perhaps was operating without jurisdiction (now we have the Record on Appeal–KDD and I were right) and prior statements made by miscreants turn out to be false.

See his pleading here:

Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction.

Tomorrow KDD is forwarding the file to me to make a form out of it so that any lawyer can use it to Dismiss  a Complaint that has been filed for Private Free Speech Activities.

We lawyers have to get organized and assert our first amendment rights, otherwise they will be taken away assuredly by bureaucratic civil servants in retirement assured state jobs.

What’s interesting is that for all the money lawyers pay to go to law school ($100,000+), they seem to be a bunch of wimps and weenies that are not ready to defend our nation and it’s freedoms and consitutional rights.

I happen to be a pacivist and believe that the pen is mightier than the sword.  But when First Amendment rights are taken away, I do belive the populace will devolve into anarchy and violence.

Right now, the near west side of Chicago and the near south side have done that.  They have a statistical violence rate that far exceeds any regional “mideast conflcits” that we have seen in since 2001.  I bet our violence and murder rate in Chicago rivals Is-Pal, and I wonder if these areas see themselves as better or worse than the more oppressed areas of Is-Pal.  I would like to see an exchange on that subject, but I digress.

Anarchy is anarchy which leads to severe violence.  The pen must be mightier than the sword to avoid this state.  As a group, lawyers must hang tight and say enough to an oppression of civil liberties.

for a great report on corruption in Cook County done by the University of Illinois, see

http://www.uic.edu/depts/pols/ChicagoPolitics/Anti-corruptionReportNumber3.pdf

And I am still looking for representation for this case so I don’t have to provide a monolog to the Tribunal, but I can do it.

Anyone interested in representing me as a lawyer please volunteer now.  The position will be paid as funds become available to me.

Thanks

JoAnne

Read below and thanks so much to ex-atty Thomson to help others!

I am still looking for a trial attorney volunteer, so keep on thinking about all of this.  It’s not for you, it’s not about me, BUT IT’S A GIFT TO ALL LAWYERS to be able to practice in courts that are blessed with honesty, integrity, openness, transparency ethics and justice.

Lawyers must speak out against corruption. They MUST report it until it is resolved.  Over and over and over, again and again.  Look how many years and how many deaths it took to bring Drew Peterson to justice for murder, John Wayne Gacy to justice for murder,  Dahlmer, etc.  What if people reported the murders over and over again and bugged the authorities to DO THEIR JOBS.  What about poor Elizabeth Smart in California who was raped and falsely imprisoned, kept from her family as a young child, and how there were witnesses, the probation officer came regularly BUT NO ONE DID THEIR JOB!

You are a gem and a gentleman!
