I received several quite angry responses to my recent posts about Rick Scott and the Fascist ReTHUGliCONs who are operating a new purge in this formerly free nation…heaping yet more tyranny on top of decades of over the top abuse. Communist they called me, Pinko Liberal, Moron even.
Those who are critical apparently have not followed me long…they apparently don’t recognize my equal contempt for the Democrats. They apparently do not understand that my political philosophy is the recognition that the parties are just fictional divisions, used to distract a drug and alcohol addled population which has become hypnotized or lobotomized and is largely unable to think critically, much less act with any courage, conviction or valor.
And so the formerly great population of this formerly free nation called Amerika wakes up every day and heads straight into the ambush….where we are all slaughtered and mowed down.
Every day, more Amerikans are felled. Chopped off at the knees, made unemployed while their industries are shipped abroad. Punched in the gut while more and more rights are stripped away. Bound and shackled tighter as the banks and credit vipers sink their fangs deeper and deeper in.
In foreclosure and in bank-sponsored home invasion burglary courts all across this nation, families fight for some faint recognition of due process or the Rule of Law…..while “our” courts chop them off quite cleanly straight at the knees, ignoring all rules and procedures in order that they might carry out the tyrannical sentences imposed by the banks. There are no rules when you have the gold. The vipers have their fangs imbedded so deeply into our society that many of “our” judges have simply become free agents, teeing up for whatever bank or corporate entity appears, represented by counsel, before them.
I’ve spent years now, traveling all across this state fighting not just the tyranny of foreclosure, but the even greater madness of banks kicking down doors and breaking into homes and have found a court and legal system that supports and encourages this dangerous condition. Through repetition and familiarity and through direct support our nation’s judges and law enforcement are telling the banks,
FEEL FREE TO KICK DOWN DOORS AND ENTER HOMES, WITHOUT WARNING, ANYTIME YOU PLEASE
But one of this nation’s remaining heroes asks a simple question….
WHERE ARE THIS NATION’S LAWYERS IN THE MIDST OF THIS?
*(They are right in the middle of it, because to fight back is to become a target.)
The rule of law is rapidly breaking down at the top levels of our government. As officers of the court, we have sworn to ” support the Constitution,” which clearly implies an affirmative commitment on our part.
Take the administrations of George W. Bush and Barack Obama. The conservative American Bar Association sent three white papers to President Bush describing his continual unconstitutional policies. Then and now civil liberties groups and a few law professors, such as the stalwart David Cole of Georgetown University and Jonathan Turley of George Washington University, have distinguished themselves in calling out both presidents for such violations and the necessity for enforcing the rule of law.
Sadly, the bulk of our profession, as individuals and through their bar associations, has remained quietly on the sidelines. They have turned away from their role as ” first-responders” to protect the Constitution from its official violators.
