1
David P. Kreider, Alachua County Court Judge (see http://circuit8.org/kreider )
2
Martha Ann Lott, Ex - Chief Judge for the 8th Judicial Circuit of Florida (see http://circuit8.org/lott ) [Embattled Martha Lott resigned from her chief judge post subsequent to becoming embroiled in this scandal which has started to implode; her resignation was announced on 04/09/2012 and was reported to have gone into effect on 04/05/2012.]

The healtch care law, the word of officers, and dressing fashionably for an Islamic trial.
In a March 27, 2007 interview by Lou Dobbs, Ignacio Ramos tells a story of how he heard shots fired, went to the defense of a fellow Border Patrol agent, and fired in what he believes was self defense. Here's an excerpt-
"DOBBS: You said, when you were down in the ditch and you were pursuing the suspect, or the witness,
as it turns out, that you heard shots fired. What did you think was going on?
RAMOS: Well obviously, some type of altercation. and if there are shots being fired, I have to
assume that, you know, in this case that it's the smugglers shooting at the other agent, and I knew
that Agent Compeon was by himself, you know, because he was the only one standing between him and
the smugglers' freedom to Mexico at the time.
So there was -- there was no other thought for me, other than he was in danger and he was being shot
at.
DOBBS: At what point did you fire at the suspect?
RAMOS: When he made a threatening motion to me, when he turned and pointed what I believed was a gun
to me. Had he never turned, you know, there would have been no shot. But when I told him to stop, he
turned and made a threatening motion to me, and that's when I fired.
DOBBS: The prosecutor said you and Compeon failed to arrest the drug smuggler, and that's why they
couldn't charge him. Does that make any sense to you?
RAMOS: None at all. I mean, we tried our best to arrest him, that's what we were doing. Yet, during
the trial, she chastised us for doing what we did and why we didn't just let him go home. That's
kind of incredible to hear, and I know I've heard it plenty of times, but I mean, there's plenty of
things that put him on the scene. If they're saying that I shot him, well, that pretty much puts him
there, you know.
DOBBS: Pretty conclusive."
-"she chastised us for doing what we did and why we didn't just let him go home" Remember that line.

In the KSM trial, defense attorney Cheryl Bormann said this,
"If because of someone's religious beliefs, they can't
focus when somebody in the courtroom is dressed in a
particular way, I feel it is incumbent upon myself as a
counsel to point that out and ask for some consideration
from the prosecution," she said. "Suffice to say it was
distracting to members of the accused."

In the law known as "Obamacare", popular for being either fantastic or terrible, there is a mandate for companies of a certain size (monetarily and population) to buy health care for their employees or be fined. This is my only personal problem with the law, but without it, can we afford it? Obviously, it's not a constitutional mandate, but is it a moral mandate?
Consider yourself starting a business. Not in 2014, but right now. In 2014 the law goes into effect. Right now, almost nobody knows what they'll have to pay, in either the fine or the health care bill. It may be a great bill when it goes into effect, but right now it's causing confusion and doubt - where countries who barely care about pollution are running over American manufacturors.
Are we looking at an underground "free market" in the future? It happened in Russia - until it came "above ground" to become the Russian capitalist society we have now, for now. It's moving back to communism - it has enough money from capitalism to do that for a while again.
Now, the point - Laws and morality don't go hand in hand. People who are trying to start a small business, pick up an arrowhead from the desert, dress how they want to, or arrest a drug smuggler, are being confused to the point of punishment.

So I had to go to traffic court today for a rather odd ticket I received several months ago. First the cop told me that I was going 32mph in a 25mph zone. Driving downhill on Taraval that’s pretty easy to do, but then every Muni driver would have a ticket for that. He sited me for not coming to a full stop at two stop signs which I know the first one he wasn’t behind to witness and the police station is at 24th where he sited me for the second non full stop. I know well enough to know that running a stop sign next to a police station is a stupid idea so I doubt I did that one either, but everyone has their own interpretation of things.So I had to go to traffic court today for a rather odd ticket I received several... more

Sometimes we let our people create their art here at WHACKO-TV. We try to stay unbiased and above the fray of everyday living, but those other elite media make us deal with issues that aren’t that funny. I guess what they mean when they say “elite” media is more like, those who get to charge like hundreds of thousands of dollars for ads. Like that ad that you see when you sign-out of FACEBOOK; they say that one must pay $700,000 a day for that spot.

A federal rule that requires tobacco companies to display pictures of diseased lungs or other graphic images on cigarette packs is unconstitutional, a judge in Washington ruled Wednesday.
Regulations by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration would have required tobacco companies to display the images on the top half of cigarette packs, front and back. It was scheduled to take effect in September.
U.S. District Judge Richard Leon said the Obama administration failed “to convey any factual information supported by evidence about the actual health consequences of smoking through its use of these graphic images.” The rule, he said, violates companies’ First Amendment protections against government-compelled speech.

A Swiss billionaire and a Belgian baron were found guilty and sentenced to 16 years each in prison by an Italian court on Monday in a groundbreaking trial over 3,000 alleged asbestos-related deaths.
Stephan Schmidheiny, the former owner of a company making Eternit fibre cement, and Jean-Louis Marie Ghislain de Cartier de Marchienne, a major shareholder, were sentenced in absentia after being found guilty of causing an environmental disaster and failing to comply with safety regulations.
They were also ordered to pay damages to civil parties in a payout expected to add up to tens of millions of euros (dollars).
Hundreds of relatives of victims had waited anxiously for the verdict in a trial which was closely watched as a potential precedent around the world, and they wept, cheered and clapped when the sentence was read aloud.
"It's a fair verdict which acknowledges their responsibility... the problem now is to see if the condemned men will face up to their obligations, because we're not sure," lawyer Sergio Bonetto told AFP.
Schmidheiny is now 64 years old and De Cartier 90. Their crimes usually carry a maximum 12-year sentence, but prosecutors had sought a harsher punishment because they say the fall-out continues to affect victims.
Defence lawyers denied the accused had direct responsibility for the Italian company, and the pair have been absent from court throughout.
"This trial will go down in history... but it will not bring my dad back," said Piero Ferraris, whose father Evasio died in 1988 of lung cancer after working in a local Eternit factory from 1946 to 1979.
The verdict was watched by around 1,500 relatives, victims and supporters who huddled around three large screens streaming the hearing live.
Ahead of the verdict, relatives of people killed by asbestos-related diseases held up banners with sketches of the Swiss billionaire behind bars.
Eternit went bankrupt six years before asbestos was banned in Italy in 1992.
"I have never seen such a tragedy. It affects workers and inhabitants... it continues to cause deaths and will continue to do so for who knows how long," prosecutor Raffaele Guariniello said in his closing speech in November.
The trial, which began in 2009 after a five-year investigation, is the biggest of its kind against a multinational for asbestos-related deaths.
Asbestos, which was banned in Europe in 2005, but is still widely used in the developing world, had been used mainly as building insulation for its sound absorption and resistance to fire, heat and electrical damage.
The inhalation of asbestos fibres can cause lung inflammation and cancer, and symptoms can take up to 20 years to manifest after exposure.
"It is a historic verdict... But the battle against asbestos does not end here, even with an exemplary sentence," Italy's Health Minister Renato Balduzzi said in a statement.
"It is not a local battle, but a national one, a worldwide one. The Turin verdict shows that Italy is doing its part," he said.
In France, the first complaints by workers exposed to asbestos date back to 1996 but there have been no major trials even though health authorities blame asbestos for between 10 and 20 percent of lung cancers.
The French victim support group Andeva said the trial represents "an amazing hope for victims across the world."
"We are waiting for the verdict with great impatience," French lawyer Jean-Paul Teissonniere, told AFP ahead of the hearing.
"We will ask French judicial authorities why a trial like this is possible in Italy and not in France," he said.
In Switzerland, three suits filed against Eternit's former owners -- Thomas and Stephan Schmidheiny -- expired under a statute of limitations in 2008.
In Belgium, a civil case in November awarded compensation of 250,000 euros ($330,000) to a family of asbestos victims.
The court in Brussels found Eternit responsible for the death in 2000 of the wife of a factory engineer who died 13 years before because of asbestos and of two of their five sons who died for the same reason.

Both scholars concluded that the proposed law could not pass muster under the U.S. Constitution. So you’d think that the new version of SOPA circulated this week would have resolved those concerns. You’d think wrong. While the revised SOPA briefly mentions the First Amendment, the substantive text makes clear that's just lip service. Here’s a selection of fundamental flaws that remain in both SOPA and PIPA: http://www.freeturbine.com/index.php/news/recent-politic/item/the-internet-blacklist-vs-the-constitutionBoth scholars concluded that the proposed law could not pass muster under the U.S.... more

Defense Response to Government Denial of Witnesses
On December 2, 2011, the defense filed a request for the production of 48 witnesses for the Article 32 hearing. The government responded to the defense's request on December 7, 2011. In the government's response, it opposed the presence of all defense requested witness (with the exception of ten witnesses who were also on the government's witness list).
The defense filed a request to compel the production of the witnesses on December 8, 2011. The Investigating Officer will consider the government and defense requests, and make a ruling sometime later this week.

Too Big To Fail, white collar crime, sovereign immunity, bailouts, paid off politicians and private prisons all add to the legal inequality causing the sudden awakening of the Occupy Wall Street movement. While monetary control of our court system caused the changes leading to legal inequality, lawsuits in the same court system could reverse the damage.
"Experience has shown that even under the best forms [of government] those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny."
Thomas Jefferson
America was founded under the basis of equal treatment under the law. Over the years the rich and powerful have become immunized while the powerless are prosecuted with increasing frequency. So frequent, in fact, that we have become the world's largest and one of its harshest penal states.
Our system has become so corrupt and harsh that the average American cannot afford competent legal counsel. Thus, one is put at the mercy of an unforgiving system that regularly punishes with lengthy prison terms even for trivial infractions.
We understand that in any competition each competitor must compete by standard and equal guidelines. If one person gets a head start, the results are not fair. We cannot recognize the winner as legitimate.
Americans are waking up to the fact that the rich and powerful are not playing by the same rules. The laws do not apply to them. They are getting a head start and taking shortcuts along the way at our expense. They even profit from your incarceration by investing in the private prisons that keep you in your place and them in theirs.
Tim Noah described the process:
"During the late 1980s and the late 1990s, the United States experienced two unprecedentedly long periods of sustained economic growth -- the 'seven fat years' and the 'long boom.' Yet from 1980 to 2005, more than 80% of total increase in Americans' income went to the top 1%. Economic growth was more sluggish in the aughts, but the decade saw productivity increase by about 20%. Yet virtually none of the increase translated into wage growth at middle and lower incomes, an outcome that left many economists scratching their heads."
One of the main disagreements with the British King was his ability to immunize anyone he pleased making them essentially 'above the law'. Sovereign immunity laws in this country effectively do the same thing.
In Lexington we can see the disparity in sentences by comparing the Airport board members, the Library fiasco and the case of Glenn Doneghy or the false arrests and corruption in the Pleas Lucian Kavanaugh cases.
Nationally, banking institutions were caught red-handed engaging in systematic fraud to foreclose on people's homes and the Obama administration acted to shield them from meaningful consequences.
A list of court cases that contributed to this legal inequality:
•Trustees of Dartmouth College v. Woodward (1819)
Corporate charters are ruled to have constitutional protection.
•Munn v. State of Illinois (1876)
Property cannot be used to unduly expropriate wealth from a community (later reversed).
•Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad (1886)
The substance of this case (a tax dispute) is of little significance, but this fateful case subsequently was cited as precedent for granting corporations constitutional rights. Several articles linked above detail how this happened.
•Noble v. Union River Logging Railroad Company (1893)
A corporation first successfully claims Bill of Rights protection (5th Amendment)
•Lochner v. New York (1905)
States cannot interfere with "private contracts" between workers and corporation -- marks the ascension of "substantive due process" (later mitigated after President Roosevelt threatend to add Justices to the Court).
•Liggett v. Lee (1933)
Chain store taxes prohibited as violation of corporations' "due process" rights.
•Ross v. Bernhard (1970)
7th Amendment right (jury trial) granted to corporations.
•U.S. v. Martin Linen Supply (1976)
A corporation successfully claims 5th Amendment protection against double jeopardy.
•Marshall v. Barlow (1978)
The Court creates 4th Amendment protection for corporations -- federal inspectors must obtain a search warrant for a safety inspection on corporate property.
•First National Bank of Boston v. Bellotti (1978)
Struck down a Massachusetts law that banned corporate spending to influence state ballot initiatives, even spending by corporate political action committees. Spending money to influence politics is now a corporate "right." Justice Rehnquist's dissent is a recommended read.

•Central Hudson Gas v. Public Service Comm. of NY (1980)
This oft-cited decision concerns a state ban on ads promoting electricity consumption.
•Austin v. Michigan Chamber of Commerce (1990)
Upheld limits on corporate spending in elections.
•Nike v Kasky (2002)
Nike claims California cannot require factual accuracy of the corporation in its PR campaigns. California's Supreme Court disagreed. The U.S. Supreme Court took up the case on appeal, then issued a non-ruling in 2003. See our comprehensive archive on this case.
•Randall v Sorrell (2006) While this case dealt with the legality of Vermont's contribution limits, not corporations directly, it carried important implications for corporate political influence, as Daniel Greenwood detailed in our amicus brief to the U.S. Supreme Court.
•Citizens United v Federal Election Commission (2010). In a 5-4 ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court overrules Austin and a century of federal legislative precedent to proclaim broad electioneering rights for corporations.

The Ukrainian authorities must act immediately to deal with endemic police criminality, widespread torture, extortion, and arbitrary detention.
The Amnesty International report, No evidence of a crime: Paying the price for police impunity in Ukraine, reveals how police are rarely punished for these crimes because of high levels of corruption, non-existent or flawed investigations, harassment and intimidation of complainants, and a low level of prosecutions for such crimes.
"Twenty years after the demise of the Soviet Union, the Ukrainian police are still serving the state instead of the public. Ordinary Ukrainians are paying the price, many of whom have become victims of bribery and forced confessions," said Heather McGill, Amnesty International's expert on Ukraine.
"It is high time the Ukrainian authorities set up an independent agency to investigate all allegations against police officers and tackled the culture of impunity and corruption that prevails.
