Hon. Rowan D. Wilson, Chief Judge
and
Each of the associate judges of the
NY State Court of Appeals [the highest state court]
20 Eagle Street
Albany, NY 12207;
tel. 1(518)455-7700

Dear Chief Judge Wilson,^‡

1. Starting with my complaint of May 28, 2022 infra, I have informed the successive chief judges, the associate judges, clerks in their offices and in that of the clerk of court of the NY State Court of Appeals (CA) of my having witnessed as a grand juror in the Bronx County Supreme Court Criminal Term in NY City the fabrication of indictments on false and insufficient evidence(§A).

2. After I asked in the grand jury room critical questions pointing to such fabrication, I was discharged on the spot by Grand Jury Justice Laurence Busching with the subsequent approval of Administrative Justice Alvin Yearwood. Thereby I suffered injury in fact by deprivation of my right to be a member of a grand jury; and of my constitutional rights to confront my accusers and to be afforded due process to defend myself.

3. The defendants who were charged with murder in the fabricated indictment and others who have been victimized by such indictments have suffered and will continue to suffer even more grievous injury in fact as a result of the base motives and complicit cover-up of those to whom I have complained, some of whom are identified hereunder(§B).

4. There is no denying such cover-up: Till this day, I have not received from any CA member even written acknowledgment of receipt of my letters, let alone a statement of how they will proceed.

5. On the contrary, when I have called, clerks Heather Davis, Ann Byer, and Ms. Taylor have acknowledged that my letters were received; and stated that the respective judge would be informed of my call; and my call would be referred for action to “the Counsel”, meaning most likely Chief Clerk and Legal Counsel Lisa LeCours. Nobody has contacted me.

6. The consistency of their refusal to engage me in any discussion allows the reasonable inference -which jurors are allowed to draw even in capital cases- that their way of dealing with me had been coordinated: Public servants intentionally misled me with a false expectation despite knowing that nobody would contact me.

7. The cover-up has taken a self-incriminating form: I filed my complaint about Justices Yearwood and Busching with the Commission on Judicial Conduct. The latter dismissed it alleging that the Commission lacked jurisdiction to process it because those justices were not members of the NYS Unified Court System (UCS)! I filed with Acting C.J. Cannataro, C.J. Wilson, and the other CA judges the letters between the Commission and me; and UCS webpages showing that those justices are UCS members. The CA judges knew that and received notice thereof through those webpages.

a. The CA judges and their clerks had actual knowledge of fabricated indictments and of the Commission’s mendacity; and

b. had duties of supervision of the UCS and the Commission;

c. ‘the end does not justify the means’;

d. “people are deemed to intend the foreseeable consequences of their actions”;

e. ‘power corrupts and unaccountably wielded is absolute and corrupts absolutely’; and

f. ‘I was following orders’ affords no defense.

1. Thus, since knowing about fabricated indictments and condoning them, the judges and clerks have constructively intended to fabricate them and coordinate their cover-up. They have sent the ‘fabricated’ indictees to, and kept them in, those hellish places of terrifying depravity and wanton violence that are the Rikers Island and the other NYS prisons.

2. Action requested: I respectfully request that you:

a. take notice of the statement of facts next;

b. have CA issue me with a written order to disclose to it my 4,743-word, 8-page sworn statement of facts(¶14d infra); and

c. investigate this complaint, summoning me to discuss it with you and the investigators.

Dare shout “I accuse!”…You may trigger history and enter it.

I, Dr. Richard Cordero, Esq., declare pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1746 and under penalty of perjury that I am submitting on 8 March 2024, as true and correct to the best of my knowledge the following:

A. How the fabrication of indictments and its cover-up were revealed

1. I am a lawyer and hold a Ph.D. in law. I was a member of a grand jury in Bronx, New York City. I had the knowledge¹ and was in a position to realize that the prosecutors and police officers had charged people with murder despite their lack of any evidence that any crime had been committed:

¹ This complaint is supported by my professional law research and writing, and strategic thinking. They are the skills that have already produced my three-volume study^*†♣ of judges and their judiciaries, titled thus:

Exposing Judges’ Unaccountability and
Consequent Riskless Abuse of Power:
Pioneering the news and publishing field of
judicial unaccountability reporting*^†♣

The study discusses evidence supporting the axiom ‘Unaccountability breeds abuse’. Its corollary is ‘What judges allow themselves to do -exposed by top national news networks, e.g., The Wall Street Journal, Thomson Reuters, and The Boston Globe, others copy and exceed’.

How many judges and the individuals and entities, such as government departments and private companies, with whom they coordinate their abuse have found comfort and encouragement in the unethical and illegal acts that justices of the U.S. Supreme Court and the ‘Friends of the Justices’ have committed for decades, as revealed by ProPublica?

Some of my articles^♦ on unaccountability and abuse of power are posted to my website Judicial-Discipline-Reform.org. They have attracted so many webvisitors and impressed them so positively that as of 9 March 2024, those who had become subscribers numbered 49,760.

They read what was in front of them and asked for more. They can reasonably be expected to be educated, intellectually curious, influential, affluent, and ready to seek compensation in a class action against public servants who fabricate indictments and judges who in self-interest condone such fabrication and coordinate its cover-up.
____________________

1. The prosecutors presented no footage of the crime or photos of the victim or the street crime scene, or incident or autopsy report. The footage of the restaurants flanking the street showed no crowd of onlookers or vehicles of the police, the medical examiner, or crime scene investigators.

2. One footage showed only a Chinese female customer talking to the bearded white male clerk of a bodega over the counter and it had no sound! This footage had no probative value. But it proved the saying “a prosecutor can manipulate a grand jury into indicting a ham sandwich” by exploiting grand jurors’ known indifference and uncritical judgment. So, it was presented in bad faith to mislead the grand jury into thinking that it justified the indictment.

3. When I asked critical questions, the presenting and the supervising prosecutors referred me to the grand jury judge. He discharged me in his courtroom with a court reporter although neither those prosecutors nor anybody else showed up to make any accusation against me.

4. I stated these facts in a 4,743-word, 8-page sworn statement and submitted it to the administrative judge. Late enough, he sent it to the grand jury judge, who with no oral argument dismissed it by letter on the disingenuous allegation that the grand jury term had expired.

5. Rogue prosecutors present to a grand jury charges whose supporting evidence is lacking, false, or insufficient to warrant their degree of gravity, i.e., they are baseless or overcharges. If the jury votes them true, the prosecutors have successfully fabricated an indictment. With it, they seek to coerce the indictee into agreeing to a power abusive plea or prosecute him/her on fabricated charges.

6. The fabricators reciprocally cover up so leveraging fabricated indictments because through them they secure higher conviction rates; greater chances of reelection and promotion; and IOUs to be cashed in when needed.

7. They gain a benefit while inflicting injury in fact on the fabricated indictees, such as sending them to jail; causing them financial hardship by requiring bail; and stigmatizing them with a criminal record. Thereby their family and friends are also injured.

8. Everybody who learns about fabricated indictments is injured by the fear of becoming a fabricated indictee, thus suffering the loss of trust in the justice system.

9. The public at large is injured by deprivation of the honest services that the fabricators are duty-bound to render it as public servants.

10. The fabricators join in committing abuse of power, honest services fraud, racketeering, and enterprise corruption.

B. Public officers who instead of investigating have coordinated a cover-up

1. I wrote a complaint letter^♠, mailed it and its follow-ups and adaptations, and subsequently made calls, to:

1. Since 28 May 2022, some 50 public officers, including entities, with the duty to serve and authority to investigate, have been informed by letter^♠(OL3:1650) fax, phone, and over 10,500 emails of the fabricated indictments and requested to investigate them for their victims’ sake; their email addresses are:

1. The informed public officers have failed to even reply -but see ¶7 supra- despite their duty to investigate with due diligence a credible complaint of public corruption based on verifiable facts. Any looking the other way, willful ignorance, or willful blindness on their part constitutes dereliction of duty.

2. What are the odds of none of them replying but for coordination established before this case?

3. Their conduct is non-coincidental, the product of a tacit or expressed complicit agreement on cover-up and reciprocal protection; cf. agreements in restraint of competition by following the price leader. Their failure to investigate results from their common interest in avoiding judges’ retaliation and ensuring their protection if needed, the rights of indictees and the public notwithstanding.

Dare shout “I accuse!”…You may trigger history and enter it.

I look forward to hearing from you.

A call
to Medicare Appeals Council
to decide appeal M-23-386, filed on 28 October 2022
and still pending
and
a call
to people who have been denied their rights by
Medicare and related entities,
to class action law firms, and to investigative journalists,
to join forces to expose the abuse of power and cover-up
affecting so many people who assert their rights
as single party to their stand-alone case and
even do so without a lawyer (pro se), whereby
they have barely any chance against
hospitals, medical practitioners,
equipment and laboratory services providers,
health insurance companies and
health management organizations (HMOs)
and their networks of services and equipment providers,
medical decisions reviewers, administrative law judges,
Medicare, Medicaid, and the Medicare Appeals Council,
all with their lawyers and
working in coordination to further their common interest in
enlarging their networks of services and equipment providers;
denying claims of people to save money; and/or
billing them for the balance of bills in excess of
what the tables of medical costs allow by law and contract, which
constitutes balance billing and
has been illegal since 1997^♦(OL3:1611§A)
because it defeats the purpose of
medical costs limited by health insurance,
thus prompting the recent adoption by Congress of
the No Surprise Bill Act,
which so many entities and Medicare blatantly disregard^‡

A. To lawyers, journalists, schools, patients, and
Advocates of Honest Judiciaries

1. The above-named entities have engaged in coordination consisting in harmonious conduct in support of common interests, described below. Thereby they have reached implicitly or explicitly reciprocal exoneration agreements providing that ‘I help and protect you today and you help and protect me tomorrow’. They function as a collective entity ‘too powerful to be held accountable’.
2. As a result of their unaccountability, they have been able to form and operate a racketeering enterprise. Cf. Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO); 18 U.S.C. §§1961 to 1968; and Enterprise Corruption; NY Consolidated Laws, Penal Law-PEN §460. There is a lot of money to be grabbed through racketeering.a. “The Medicare Program [has] 65.0 million beneficiaries and total expenditures of $905 billion in 2022″. It works with hundreds of health insurance and management organizations (HMOs), and medical services and equipment providers. All of them have common interests: pay the fewest claims and attract to, and maintain in their, networks the largest number of providers. To advance their interests they:

1) deny and uphold the denial of as many of their insureds’ claims as possible;

2) disregard their legal duty to accept as total payment the amounts stated in Medicare’s and HMOs’ tables of medical services and equipment costs; and

3) condone the billing of insureds for the unpaid balance, which constitutes the illegal practice of ‘balance billing’.

i. Section 1902(n)(3)(B) of the Social Security Act, found in Title 42 of the U.S. Code of federal laws, as modified by Section 4714 of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, P.L. 105-33, prohibits services and equipment providers from balance billing Medicaid QMBs (Qualified Medicare Beneficiaries) for Medicare cost-sharing.

ii. The provider is duty-bound statutorily and contractually to submit its bill to Medicaid and accept as full payment what Medicaid pays, as set forth in its tables of services and equipment costs. See also Overview of Medicaid Provisions in the Balanced Budget Act.

iii. Knowledge of the prohibition on balance billing insureds is imputed to the provider because by law and contract it was informed of it: There is no need to prove that it had actual knowledge.

iv. The provider has ‘superior knowledge’ relative to the knowledge that insureds can reasonably be expected to have. Consequently, the provider and the insureds do not deal at arm’s length. When the provider takes advantage of this knowledge differential to balance bill an insured, it abuses its power.

b. Most insureds who appeal claim denials and balance billing appear pro se, unable to afford lawyers precisely when they must pay mounting medical costs. Due to their ignorance of the law, they easily fall prey to abusive providers.

c. Moreover, burdened by their health problems, few insureds have the substantial resources of emotional energy, let alone money, needed to struggle through four levels of appeal until reaching the Medicare Appeals Council, whose decision is appealable to a U.S. district court.

1. The exposure of the providers’ coordinated abuse of power can be set off by holding unprecedented citizens hearings.

a. They are to be held by journalists, media outlets, IT experts, and journalism, law, and IT students and professors.

b. Their venue will be media stations, school auditoriums, and via the Internet so that wherever abusees are, they can tell their story of the abuse that they have suffered or witnessed by providers and the other entities.

c. At the citizens hearings, the abusees will shout self-assertively the rallying cry:

Enough is enough!
We won’t take any abuse by anybody anymore.

1. Abusees can so inform and outrage the national public as to cause it to challenge the abusers’ unaccountability through the electoral process and a class action. To that end, we can join forces to turn the above-named entities’ coordinated abuse of power into a key issue of the presidential debates, the primaries, and the general election. This issue can attract the attention of the national public and politicians, whether principled or opportunistic, because “The Medicare Program is the second-largest social insurance program in the U.S.”, after Social Security.

2. Together we can pioneer a multidisciplinary academic and journalistic business venture; and launch of a civic, MeToo!-like movement arising from an informed and outraged national public ready to wield its strongest powers: electoral donating, volunteering, and voting. The venture and the movement can implement a concrete, reasonable, and feasible plan of action offering rewards:

a. The plan includes a class action, for it can accomplish what abusees cannot proceeding individually. A class action win can force transformative change in the way health entities coordinate their abuse of patients, in particular, and of the national public, in general. Lawyers can win huge rewards: treble damages, attorney’s fees, and national recognition that increases their number of clients; cf. the suits against tobacco, guns, and opioids entities.

b. Journalists who investigate(OL:194§E) this story and join in holding the unprecedented citizens hearings can reasonably expect to be considered for a Pulitzer prize.

c. Students can be nationally recognized as the youth of the Montana climate case have been. They can parlay the experience gained by creating a niche law and investigative practice.

d. The media and the schools, suffering from low public esteem and income, can increase their appeal and profitability by becoming an engine of transformative socio-political change to be reckoned with. The schools can emerge as the fifth power for public accountability.

1. I offer to make via video conference or, if in NY City, in person, a presentation on the citizens hearings and the plan of action. See my contact information in the letterhead above. Consequently, this email and its link^‡ can be shared and posted widely to announce my offered presentation.

The presentation is supported by my professional law research and writing, and strategic thinking. They are the skills that have already produced my three-volume study*^†♣ of judges and their judiciaries, titled and downloadable thus:

Exposing Judges’ Unaccountability and
Consequent Riskless Abuse of Power:
Pioneering the news and publishing field of
judicial unaccountability reporting*^†♣

1. The study discusses evidence supporting the axiom ‘Unaccountability breeds abuse’. Its corollary is ‘What judges allow themselves to do -exposed by The Wall Street Journal and Thomson Reuters-, others copy and exceed’.

a. How many of the above-named entities and judges have found comfort and encouragement in the unethical and illegal practices that justices of the U.S. Supreme Court and the ‘Friends of the Justices’ have engaged in for decades, as revealed by ProPublica; and that a former President has engaged in for years, as stated by NY State Judge Arthur Engoron in his decision on Trump and his business of Tuesday, 26 September 2023?

1. Some of my articles on unaccountability and abuse of power are posted to my website Judicial-Discipline-Reform.org. They have attracted so many webvisitors and impressed them so positively that as of 22 October 2023, the number of visitors that had become subscribers was 49,036.

a. Those subscribers not only read what is in front of them, but also welcome more. They can reasonably be expected to be educated, influential, and capable of understanding how they are harmed by coordinated health entities and willing to support a class action against them. 

B. Thousands of emails to top Medicare and related officers and entities have met the silence of a coordinated cover-up

1. Thousands of emails have been sent to dozens of top officers of Medicare and health insurer EmblemHealth for more than a year, who have left them unanswered. Their same conduct cannot reasonably be said to be merely coincidental. Their failure to answer constitutes the circumstantial evidence from which a reasonable inference can be drawn: It betrays the silence of a coordinated cover-up. So does their failure to provide discovery, disclosure, even a responsive brief to answer my complaint of 21 May 2022, and to enter default judgment as a consequence thereof.

2. Likewise, their failure to decide the appeal M-23-386, filed with the Medicare Appeals Council almost a year ago on 28 October 2022, betrays self-interested dereliction of duty and obstruction of justice. A sample of the email headers and text has been collected below. They were sent:

To:    Medicare.Appeals@hhs.gov, OSDABImmediateOffice@hhs.gov, OS-OMHAATLECAPE@hhs.gov, OSOMHAHearingTechSupport@hhs.gov, erin.nugent@hhs.gov, DABMODHotline@hhs.gov, notifications@dab.efile.hhs.gov, dawn.kos@hhs.gov, john.colter@hhs.gov appeals@dab.efile.hhs.gov, James.Griepentrog@hhs.gov, Jon.Dorman@hhs.gov, erin.brown@hhs.gov, Rajda.Nachampassak@hhs.gov, Darryl.Holloway@hhs.gov, alethia.wimberly@hhs.gov, hillary.didona@hhs.gov, James.Brown@hhs.gov, Kathy.Greene@hhs.gov, leslie.mcdonald@hhs.gov, Sherese.Warren@hhs.gov, corderoric@yahoo.com, medicareappeal@maximus.com, SHillegass@emblemhealth.com, EHCommunications@emblemhealth.com, toni-ann.devito@emblemhealth.com, CManalansan@emblemhealth.com, esosa@emblemhealth.com, M_Cipolla@emblemhealth.com, sdambrosio@emblemhealth.com, SBergstrom@emblemhealth.com, Dr.Richard.Cordero_Esq@verizon.net, DrRCordero@Judicial-Discipline-Reform.org

C. A similar case of coordinated abuse of power and cover-up involving prosecutors, police officers, and judges

1. In the same vein are the thousands of emails and letters sent, and phone calls made, to the dozens of prosecutors, police officers, and judges in the below bloc of email addresses since 7 June 2022, with no response, on the subject of:

Fabricated indictments^♦
based on false and insufficient evidence
presented to grand juries by
prosecutors, police officers, and judges
who abuse the jurors’
ignorance of the law and
untrained and uncritical judgment.
They reciprocally cover up
leveraging fabricated indictments
to coerce defendants into unfavorable plea bargains.
That leads to
higher conviction rates,
greater chances of reelection and promotion, and
collection of IOUs to be cashed in when needed.
Thereby they gain a benefit by inflicting
injury in fact on defendants,
deprive them and the public of honest services, and
obstruct justice.
They thus commit fraud, racketeering, and enterprise corruption.
The proposal to expose
the fabricators and their abuse of power through
unprecedented citizens hearings (¶2↑) and
a story that can earn journalists and media outlets Pulitzer Prizes.

1. The many officers listed next have failed to respond though duty-bound to deal effectively with their constituents’ grievances, especially those brought to their attention so repeatedly and for such a long time. Their conduct is non-coincidental. It is motivated by interests that can foreseeably be advanced by obstructing justice through an implicitly or explicitly coordinated cover-up. Any alleged willful ignorance and blindness is particularly inexcusable because of their duty of due diligence to know. Those officers have engaged in dereliction of duty and abuse of power. The abusees can tell their stories at the citizens hearings, thereby enabling the detection of patterns of circumstances where the fabricators fester and their modus operandi.

Dear  Journalists, Media Outlets, Attorneys, and Advocates of Honest Judiciaries,

1. Former president Donald Trump was arraigned in a court in Lower Manhattan, NY City on April 4, 2023. He is being held accountable for his conduct.

1. The members of the justice system must also be held accountable. This is a proposal for holding accountable those members who have sought and obtained indictments against likely thousands of people based on false accusations raised by prosecutors and police officers with the connivance of judges.

2. It is reasonable to expect that the journalists and media outlets that scoop this story will be rewarded professionally and personally handsomely. Their scoop will launch a generalized media investigation through our country at a time when current events, e.g., the current investigations of Mr. Trump and demonstrations against police brutality, have focused the national public’s attention on the fairness and honesty of prosecutors, the police, and judges, and intensified its demand for holding public officers accountable for their performance and liable to compensation to their victims.

3. Hence, the proposed investigation can do for a journalist and his or her media outlet what the investigation did for those who scooped the breaking and entering into the Democratic National Headquarters at the Watergate complex in DC on June 17, 1972, namely, then-rookie reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein of The Washington Post, and those who continued to lend them their unwavering support, to wit, WP publisher Katharine Graham and editor Ben Bradlee.

4. Their competent and courageous journalistic investigation and publication were rewarded with a Pulitzer Prize; a best-seller and a blockbuster movie, both bearing the title All the President’s Men -a reference to all his White House aides ending up in jail-; and the catapulting of The Washington Post to the level of The New York Times as a preeminent investigative journal.

5. Moreover, as part of the Watergate scandal that they broke, they are studied in all schools of journalism as icons of journalists playing their role at their best: holding the powerful accountable. They were instrumental in causing the unthinkable to pass: the resignation of president Nixon on August 8, 1974.

6. However, the stakes of the investigation proposed below are much higher. The investigation will take place at the most propitious time, that is, when not only the four current investigations of Trump, but also the primaries and the general campaign for the 2024 Presidential Election will keep directing journalistic attention to the conduct of prosecutors, the police, and the courts, and make the national public ever more critical and demanding of consequences.

7. As a result, the unthinkable can happen: the resignation of one, several, or all the justices of the U.S. Supreme Court for committing as principals civil or criminal offenses under the law or even only failing to “avoid improprieties”(Canon 2 of the Code of Conduct for U.S. Judges); covering up as accessories those of their colleagues; and disregarding their supervisory duty to safeguard the integrity of the judiciary and judicial process.

8. Yet, that outcome is thinkable on the strength of multiple precedents(OL3:1482, Section C). This can bring about, not just the fall of the top officer of a branch, i.e., president Nixon’s, but rather a branch itself, that is, the Federal Judiciary due to unaccountable judges risklessly running it as a racketeering enterprise.

9. Accordingly, Section A of the article below discusses the extensive investigations by top media outlets from which you can reasonably conclude that abuse of power among federal and state prosecutors, police, and judges is pervasive, pernicious, and persistent so that it has become their modus operandi, that is, their way of doing business based on “intertwined corruption”.

10. For its part, Section B will convince you that you can cost-effectively undertake the initial proposed investigation because it is realistically limited to abuse in one district attorney’s office and one court of a single state concerning only one case for which concrete leads are provided:

a. names of people and places

b. dates of events

c. nature of abuse

d. a contemporaneous detailed statement of facts

e. official, court public records containing the names and whereabouts of people indicted and arraigned at the time;

f. official letters of public officers involved; etc.

1. For good measure, the second article hereunder provides a brief description of cases that I have made ripe for class action. Their journalistic investigation is promising because they involve millions of abusees and a corresponding large audience interested in being informed about the exposure of their abusers, obtaining compensation, and compelling reform.

2. That audience consists in part of the people abused by:

a. Medicare and HMOs, which condone illegal balance billing and surprise medical bills, both of which can drive their insureds into a financial predicament where they have to choose whether to pay those bills, buy food, make rent…or declare bankruptcy;

b. Walgreens (the second largest pharmacy chain in the U.S.) and its purchase incentivizing and deceptive Cash Rewards program;

c. those indicted on false accusations, who have been sent to jail, forced into a dire financial situation to make bail, and inflicted devastating professional and reputational injury due to having a criminal record;

d. the public officers who in their personal and collective interest abuse the means and opportunity of their government entities to intercept the emails and mail of the public at large in order to detect and suppress those critical of them; and

e. a commission on judicial conduct that in dereliction of its duty has left complainants and the rest of the public without any remedy and at the mercy of the abusers.

1. The audience of abusees will be increased by their affected relatives and their friends, their neighbors, their suppliers and buyers, their competitors, the stakeholders of the abusers, etc.

2. Attracting all of them to your audience warrants examining the investigation proposed next. Hence, I look forward to hearing from you.

Dare trigger history!…and you may enter it.

Top media outlets have exposed how
prosecutors, police officers, and judges
abuse people unaccountably and thus, risklessly.
A current story illustrates how you too may have been abused.
Here is a test case showing how you can
expose them, demand compensation, and compel reform,
thus becoming a nationally recognized Champion of Justice.

A. Media outlets that have exposed abuse in an unaccountable justice system

1. The Wall Street Journal, in its article “131 Federal Judges Broke the Law by Hearing Cases Where They Had a Financial Interest”, published initially on September 28, 2021, wrote thus:

“[Federal] judges failed to recuse themselves from 685 lawsuits from 2010 to 2018 involving firms in which they or their family held shares, a Wall Street Journal investigation found…Alerted to the violations by the Journal, 56 of the judges have directed court clerks to notify parties in 329 lawsuits that they should have recused themselves. That means new judges might be assigned, potentially upending rulings.”

a. One of its updating articles, published on April 27, 2022, under the title “Dozens of Federal Judges Had Financial Conflicts…”, stated the following:

“A Wall Street Journal investigation found that 152 federal judges around the nation have violated U.S. law and judicial ethics by overseeing 1,076 court cases involving companies in which they or their family-owned stock. As a result of the Journal’s reporting, judges in 883 cases have notified courts that they presided in the lawsuits improperly and that the cases are eligible to be reopened.”

1. Thomson Reuters is a major U.S. news organization with some 2,500 journalists and some 600 photojournalists. In “The Teflon Robe” report, whose first of three parts was published on June 30, 2020, it reported “hardwired judicial corruption”: corruption that is an integral element of state judiciaries and that intertwines their judges and the conniving entities duty-bound to supervise them. Far from doing so, those entities cover up their abuse of power by not investigating, let alone punishing, them, not even disclosing the names of complained-about judges and their accomplices.

3. The Boston Globe published on September 30, 2018, its investigative report “Inside our secret courts”, in whose “private criminal hearings, who you are –and who you know– may be just as important as right and wrong”. Those conducting the hearings may not be lawyers or know the law.

4. Competitors of the above publishers, such as The New York Times[1], The New Yorker[2], The Washington Post, Above the Law, LexisNexis, and your own media outlet may not want to cede to any of those courageous competitors the exposure of judiciaries as racketeering enterprises.[3]

[1] “2 Ex-Timesmen Say They Had a Tip on Watergate First”, by Reporter Richard Pérez-Peña, who rightly remarked that “If [Mr. Phelps’s] and Mr. Smith’s accounts are correct, The Times missed a chance to get the jump on the greatest story in a generation”; NYT; 24may09. Do not let others jump on this tip and earn all the credit for turning it into their scoop.
[2] The New Yorker’s article exposing sexual abuser Harvey Weinstein, together with that of The New York Times, published on October 10 and 5, 2017, respectively, caused the MeToo! movement to erupt. The world has not been the same since. Their articles are precedent for the transformative impact that an article can have.

B. Story of abuse by prosecutors and the NYPD covered up by the Commissioner, the Chief Judges, the Mayor, et al., though injuring likely thousands of people

1. 5. On May 23 and 24, 2022, Bronx ADA Burim Namani and supervising ADA Diana Jetta presented an indictment for murder allegedly committed on or around May 24, 2021, early in the evening in a Bronx street flanked by restaurants and bodegas. When they asked whether grand jurors had questions, I, a grand juror, asked critical ones because the 12 exhibits that they presented contained:

a. not a single photo or video of the scene of the crime or of the victim whether taken by the police, a surveillance camera of the neighboring restaurants and bodegas, or any bystander…in the age of the ubiquitous smartphone with camera and a citizens journalist mentality!;

b. no police report or autopsy report by the medical examiner; no statement by relatives;

c. nothing but the allegations of five NYPD officers, including detectives, and an alleged friend that had been walking with the alleged victim that evening but who did not witness the murder.

1. On May 25, I was summoned to the courtroom of Grand Jury Justice Laurence E. Busching. He acted as lead counsel for those who had accused me of ‘being disruptive and making other grand jurors feel uncomfortable’; denied me the opportunity to confront them and present witnesses; showed no evidence; had me surrounded by four intimidating NYPD officers; and discharged me.

2. I described these events in a 4,743-word, 8-page sworn statement and submitted it to his supervisor, Administrative Justice Alvin Yearwood, tel. (718)618-3700, at the Bronx County Supreme Court Criminal Term, 265 E. 161^st St., Bronx, NY 10451. Without acknowledging receipt or taking my calls, he forwarded it to J. Busching. The latter, as judge in his own cause, biasedly dismissed it on the trivial fact that the grand jury term had expired.

3. They condoned and aided prosecutors and NYPD officers seeking indictments on false accusations. Thousands may have been indicted, sent to prison, devastated financially while trying to make bail, and ruined professionally and reputationally by being tainted with a criminal record.

4. NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell and Internal Affairs Bureau Chief Miguel Iglesias; former NYPD captain and now NYC Mayor Eric Adams; Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, and many other public officers(OL3:1568) have failed to even reply to my repeatedly submitted complaint. Two Chief Judges of the Court of Appeals -the highest court in NYS-, former CJ Janet DiFiore and Acting CJ Anthony Cannataro, have been derelict in their supervisory duties as have IGs.

5. The Commission on Judicial Conduct dismissed the complaint by dishonestly alleging that ‘those judges are not NYS judges, so we lack jurisdiction’. The inaction of these officers points to an implicitly or explicitly coordinated reciprocally beneficial agreement not to investigate.

C. Proposed action: a presentation by me, and an investigation and articles by us

1. I respectfully propose that journalists and their outlets take action on behalf of thousands people injured by indictments obtained through false accusations.

2. Let’s meet in your office or on Zoom for a presentation by me and a Questions and Answers session. We can discuss taking the next steps: holding a press conference; publishing one or a series of my(A and B) and our articles; and conducting a joint investigation. That is how a generalized media investigation can be launched that turns you and your media outlet into nationally recognized Champions of Justice.

Dare trigger history!…and you may enter it.

http://Judicial-Discipline-Reform.org/OL3/DrRCordero-Honest_Jud_Advocates3.pdf)

Dear Attorneys, Journalists, Professors, IT experts, and Advocates of Honest Judiciaries,

1. I am searching for qualified parties among you to whom to propose a joint venture to further prosecute any or all of the three cases that I¹ have brought to ripeness for class action^2.
2. This search is an exercise of the rights most cherished by We the People, namely, those guaranteed by the 1^stAmendment to the Constitution to “freedom of speech, of the press, the right of the people [the sovereign source of all public power in a democracy] peaceably to assemble [on the Internet too], and to petition [also through class actions] the Government [such as its third branch, the judiciary, and its agencies, e.g., Medicare; as well as private parties] for a redress [through transparency, accountability, and compensation] of grievances”.
3. You can expand the cases’ brief description below by going to the file at ^‡_, which has links to detailed information.

a. Medicare administers $100s of billions for the benefit of its more than 33 million insureds. It works with hundreds of HMOs and other health insurance entities. They have common interests: pay the fewest claims and attract to, and maintain in their, networks the largest number of medical services and equipment providers.

1) To advance their interests they:

a) deny and uphold the denial of as many of their insureds’ claims as possible;

b) disregard the legal obligation to accept as total payment Medicare’s schedules of fees for medical provisions³; and

c) condone the billing of insureds for the unpaid balance.

2) Most insureds who appeal denials and balance billing appear pro se. Due to their ignorance of the law, they are abused by having their rights denied or disregarded.

3) I appealed to the Medicare Appeals Council. After I appeal to the Medicare Board, the class action can be filed in a federal district court.⁴ The recovery can be huge and force transformative change in the health insurance system.

a4) A Supplemental Brief was filed by me on March 13, 2023; its link is http://Judicial-Discipline-Reform.org/ALJ/23-3-11DrRCordero_supp_brief-Medicare_Appeals_Council.pdf. It describes the lengths to which administrative law judges (ALJ), other officers of the Office of Medicare Hearings and Appeals and the Medicare Appeals Council, and the opposing parties have gone to withhold evidentiary materials from me that incriminates them in coordinated complicit conduct and its cover-up.

5) This is attested to by ‘a smoking gun’ “Report of Contact”. It shows, among other things, that a party and an ALJ office engaged in ex parte communications and that they knew that my appeal had been denied before I had filed my Statement on Appeal and before the ALJ hearing had even been scheduled. The outcome of the hearing had been predetermined and the holding of the hearing was pro forma.

6) The ALJs, officers, and parties have turned the health insurance and Medicare appeal process into a pretense to the detriment of the tens of millions of their insureds. Their conduct warrants bringing a class action against them.

b. Walgreens is described as having had $139.5 billion in revenue in 2020 and 277,000 employees in 2021. Its purchase-incentivizing program is Cash Rewards. It is a misnomer, for rewards are not earned by paying in cash and cannot be redeemed for cash despite its false advertisement: “Save time. Redeem your rewards instantly at checkout”. But at checkout you cannot pay the total cost of the purchase with your Cash Rewards. You can only apply a single “tier” per purchase of either $1, $3, $5, or $10 if it is equal to or less than the purchase cost, i.e., “tiers” cannot be stacked. You must pay the balance with your money. Your rewards, though earned, are not yours, for they expire and you can use them only at Walgreens. The program is a bait and switch scam.

1) This is a test case for suing big businesses that make enormous gains by defrauding millions of customers of small amounts that do not justify the substantial cost of individual prosecution.

c. While serving as a grand juror, I witnessed how prosecutors and New York Police Department (NYPD) officers charged people with a murder that those people could not have committed because no evidence of a crime was contained in the 12 exhibits presented:

i. not a single photo or video of the scene of the crime, which allegedly occurred in the middle of a street flanked by restaurants and bodegas; or of the victim, whether taken by the police, a surveillance camera of those restaurants and bodegas, or any bystander…in the age of the ubiquitous smartphone with camera and a citizens journalist mentality!;

ii. no police incident report; no medical examiner autopsy report; no death or burial certificate;

iii. nothing but the allegations of five NYPD officers, including detectives, and an alleged friend that had been walking with the alleged victim that evening but who did not witness the murder.

1) The indictment was sought to gain plea bargain leverage by taking advantage of the well-known grand jurors’ indifference and uncritical judgment.

2) When I asked critical questions, the presenting and the supervising prosecutors referred me to the grand jury judge, who discharged me without affording me the opportunity to confront my accusers.

3) I described these events in a 4,743-word, 8-page sworn statement and submitted it to the administrative judge. Late enough, he sent it to the grand jury judge, who with no discussion dismissed it on the trivial fact that the grand jury term had expired. I filed a complaint with the NY State Chief Judge, the NYS and NYC administrative judges, the NYPD Internal Affairs Bureau chief and the Commissioner, the Bronx council members, public advocates, et al., who have not replied.

4) They form the defendant class: They do not investigate judges to avoid retaliation⁵. They also pursue a pecuniary benefit, which is anything to which a monetary value can be assigned. Their dereliction of duty is a policy and a systemic cover-up based on actual or constructive complicit coordination; cf. companies that coordinate their anti-competition practices by following the price leader, which has been held illegal under antitrust law and case law.

5) Acting under color of law, they have violated the civil rights of the likely thousands of people against whom they have levelled false accusations, thus causing them injury in fact by being indicted, jailed, prosecuted, devasted financially in an effort to make bail, and ruined reputationally by having a criminal record.

6) The latest statement of facts, dated February 23, 2023, in this case describes the flagrant misconduct of the New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct. It is aimed to protect the two judges involved in covering for the prosecutors and police officers who based on false evidence accused two people of murder: The Commission has founded its dismissal of my complaint on the demonstrably false grounds that those two judges are not members of the NYS Unified Court System. See the Commission’s letters at http://Judicial-Discipline-Reform.org/IAB/DrRCordero-Commission_Judicial_Conduct.pdf.

7) Meantime, the number keeps growing of those who have been abused by false accusations. They form the plaintiff class. Their claims for compensatory and punitive damages keep growing too…but so does the abuse that they continue to suffer.

8) Competent and principled lawyers capable of joining the legal team being assembled to bring this class action can do the right thing on behalf of the plaintiffs while making for themselves both a substantial amount of money, including treble damages and attorney’s fees, and a national name as Champions of Justice.⁶

4. I offer to make a presentation on these cases via video conference or, if in New York City, in person.

Every meaningful cause needs resources for its advancement;
none can be continued, let alone advanced, without money

Put your money
where your outrage at abuse and
quest for justice are.

ENDNOTES

¹ This email and its above-stated link^‡ can be shared with others who are potentially interested in joining any of the class actions under FRCP Rule 23 and attending my presentation on this proposal. The latter is supported by my professional law research and writing, and strategic thinking; they are the skills that undergird my three-volume study* † ♣ of judges and their judiciaries, which is titled and downloadable thus:

Exposing Judges’ Unaccountability and
Consequent Riskless Abuse of Power:
Pioneering the news and publishing field of
judicial unaccountability reporting* ^† ♣

a. The study collects and discusses abundant evidence(OL:194§E) showing that judges ensure each other’s unaccountability by systematically dismissing 100% of complaints against any fellow judge and denying 100% of petitions to review dismissals.

b. They are also protected connivingly by the politicians who put them in office and for whom they are ‘our men and women on the bench’.

c. Judges engage in abuse of power risklessly for their gain and convenience individually and as a coordinated class. Their pattern of conduct shows that they run their judiciary as a racketeering enterprise. See footnotes 5 and 6 hereunder.

d. Some of my articles have been posted to my website Judicial Discipline Reform. That site has attracted countless webvisitors and as of 18 March 2023, had turned into subscribers 46,757 of them. They are potential class members.

e. The latest articles are included in Volume III^♣ of the study.

²  The class actions can expect sympathetic juries. Indeed, since the advent of the MeToo! and BLM movements, and the demonstrations against police brutality, and racial and socio-economic inequality, the national public has become ever more intolerant of all forms of abuse, as expressed in its self-assertive rallying cry: 

Enough is enough!
We won’t take any abuse from anybody anymore.

a. Trump lawyers settled a case on their way to the first trial day rather than risk a huge verdict from one of the blue-collar juries in the Bronx, New York City, known for their distrust of, and resentment toward, big companies and government; and more ready than others to “stick it to ‘em”.

³ Section 1902(n)(3)(B) of the Social Security Act, found in Title 42 of the U.S. Code of federal laws, as modified by Section 4714 of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, prohibits Medicare providers from balance billing Medicaid QMBs [Qualified Medicare Beneficiaries] for Medicare cost-sharing. The provider must submit its bill to Medicaid and accept as full payment what Medicaid pays.

⁴ Victims of abuse by Medicare officers, including administrative law judges, can share their story with the Medicare Appeals Council. The latter is the venue for the fourth of five levels of appeal in the Medicare system (the fifth level appeal lies with the Medicare Appeals Board). Hence, if you have not gone through the previous appeal levels, which begins with your HMO or other medical services or equipment provider, the Council will not treat your story as a complaint on appeal.

a. However, you together with as many victims as possible can submit your story in order to inform the Council of the nature, frequency, and gravity of abuse within the Medicare system. There is strength in numbers. Numerous statements from unrelated parties yet consistent with each other allow for the detection of patterns of abuse of power. Patterns make an impression in the minds of those who detect, or are made aware of, them.

1) The federal criminal code provides at 18 U.S.C. §1961(5) that a ‘pattern is constituted of at least two acts committed within ten years’.

b. By writing your story, you take the first step toward showing that you have questions of law or fact and claims common to the class suing Medicare and providers, and qualify as a member of it(R.23(a)), entitled to share in any compensation that the action may win for it.

c. Your story must be brief. Never-ending rambling and whining sagas are wasteful of your and everybody else’s effort and time. They are not read to the end or taken seriously.

d. By contrast, a story written in up to 500 words is more likely to be impactful if it consists only of verifiable and accurate facts, names, and addresses identifying only the most outrageous events that may have developed during months or years of abuse and litigation. Read and apply the two-phase method for writing such a story. You will be happily surprised by how helpful that method is. By applying it, you can write a story that may get you invited to tell it to the state or national public at the proposed UNPRECEDENTED CITIZENS HEARINGS on judges’ unaccountability and riskless abuse of power.

e. Your story can contribute to detecting the most persuasive type of evidence of abuse: patterns of conduct of the same, related, or similarly situated officers and their cronies that harm many unrelated individuals in similar ways. A pattern of similarities may show that officers and cronies acted in a coordinated rather than coincidental way; and that stories have common facts and claims that qualify you and other abusees as members of the class action.

f. By making public your story, you too will be asserting your rights under the First Amendment to “freedom of speech, of the press, the right of the [little] people peaceably to assemble [on the Internet too], and to petition [as a numerous and thus big class] the Government [of which judges form the third branch] for a redress of grievances [including by holding judges and their cronies accountable and liable to compensation]”.

g. Add at the top of your story the following reference; and mail and email it to the following addresses:

Reference: for consideration by the Medicare Appeals Council and the Board in appeal M-23-386

1) Go to https://dab.efile.hhs.gov/, register, and “File correspondence…and other written material in pending case” M-23-386. Thereby your story may become part of the record that may be filed on appeal in a federal district court and contribute to the formation of the class action and the holding of the citizens hearings.

2) Department of Health and Human Services
Departmental Appeals Board
Medicare Appeals Council, MS 6127
Cohen Building Room G-644
330 Independence Ave., S.W.
Washington, D.C. 20201

3) DABMODHotline@hhs.gov, OSDABImmediateOffice@hhs.gov, Medicare.Appeals@hhs.gov, appeals@dab.efile.hhs.gov

⁵ Developments in the judiciary establish strong precedents that support a favorable expectation for the class actions:

a. In the civil suit Stricklandv. U.S., the Judicial Conference of the U.S., the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, et al., the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit held on April 26, 2022, that the Federal Judiciary and its judges in their official and individual capacities can on due process and equal protection grounds be sued and held liable. The plaintiff’s exposure of 4^th Circuit judges’ complicit coordination forced all the judges of that Court to recuse themselves! Judges from other circuits were seated by designation on the three-judge appellate panel.

b. Ninety gymnasts sued the FBI and agents for over $1 billion last June 8 for its failure to act on the complaints against sexual predator Dr. Larry Nassar brought to FBI agents and the FBI’s cover-up of their dereliction of duty. This is in addition to the $380 million that USA Gymnastics and the U.S. Olympic Committee had to pay to Nassar sexual abuse victims.

c. A Pennsylvania state court ordered judges who sent juveniles to government paid/privately run detention facilities in exchange for kickbacks to pay $206 million in compensatory and punitive damages.

⁶ The Wall Street Journal has published a series of articles that began on September 28, 2021, under the initial title “131 [now 152] Federal Judges Broke the Law by Hearing Cases Where They Had a Financial Interest”.

a. Led by their motive of protecting their illegal gains and gain schemes, judges intercept -which is illegal under 18 U.S.C. §§2511– people’s emails and mail to detect and suppress those of their critics.

b. The Federal Judiciary has the means of doing so, as it runs one of the largest national computer networks and has the Information Technology (IT) expertise necessary therefor: It handles daily the filing, storage, and retrieval of hundreds of millions of briefs, motions, applications, records, reports, recordings, dockets, calendars, orders, decisions, certificates, etc., through its Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) system.

c. Judges have the opportunity to also compel such interception by the intelligence agencies to which in a quid pro quo they grant 100% of their secret requests for secret orders for secret surveillance under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act(50 U.S.C §§1801-1885c).

d. There is proposed to hire IT experts to examine the communications and computers of critics of judges. The exposure of judges’ interception in a suit with counts under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act (RICO;18 U.S.C. §1961) on behalf of their victims can generate national outrage, treble damages, and attorneys’ fees. The examination can be announced at a press conference intended to capture national attention and to interest critics and victims of judges’ abuse in sharing their stories with the IT experts.

1) See former CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson’s suit against the U.S. Department of Justice for $35 million for the latter’s hacking into her home and CBS computers to spy on the stories that she was investigating and that had deeply embarrassed the Obama administration and Attorney General Eric Holder. Eventually, AG Holder was held in contempt of Congress for withholding evidence on those stories and forced to resign.

Deans of Law and Journalism Schools and
in their care to their peers and the officers of the student class and other          appropriate student organizations
Law and Journalism Schools

Dear Deans, Professors, and Officers,¹

1. This is a proposal¹ for a presentation on how through a series of steps² (see the article below this one) and a public interest course (since it will include real representation of clients by students under the supervision of professors it is known as a clinic) you all can counter the problems besieging law schools: dwindling enrollment, imperiled financial viability, and diminishing chances of finding a law job upon graduation. It is based on precedent..
   

   .

   a. In the civil suit Strickland v. U.S., the Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit held last April 26 that the Federal Judiciary and its officers, including judges, can on constitutional grounds be sued and held liable in their official and individual capacities.

   .

   b. 90 gymnasts sued the FBI and agents for over $1 billion last June 8, for its failure to act on the complaints against sexual predator Dr. Larry Nassar brought to FBI agents and the FBI’s cover-up of their dereliction of duty.

   .

   c. A PA state court ordered judges who sent juveniles to government paid/privately run detention facilities in exchange for kickbacks to pay victims $206 million in compensatory and punitive damages.

   .

   2. The presentation will center on three ongoing cases that can be further prosecuted through the device that can gain the highest payoff for law schools and compensate the largest number of victims: class actions including RICO charges. They can provoke national outrage³; open the floodgates of motions that create a niche practice for law students; and lead schools to hold citizens hearings that transform their role into We the People’s watchdog⁴ on unaccountable judges and their judiciaries.

   .

   a. A person in an official capacity acquired knowledge firsthand about prosecutors, NYPD officers and detectives, and judges of a NY criminal court colluding to obtain an indictment against people charged with murder even though their ‘supporting evidence’ revealed that no crime had even occurred. A complaint was filed with the NYPD Internal Affairs Bureau (IAB) requesting that it investigate its members’ participation in such wrongdoing. Its handling by over a dozen officers for three months indicates that IAB has coordinated a cover-up. A complaint against it has been escalated to NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell⁵. The potential class action plaintiffs are thousands of people who were charged and/or prosecuted on false indictments and even incarcerated. The potential defendants are the wrongdoers and the tens of administrative judges, elected officers, public defenders, and their institutions chargeable with dereliction of duty for failing to investigate.
   ..
   b. Medicare administers a budget of $100s of billion for the benefit of its more than 33 million insureds. It works with hundreds of HMOs and other health insurance entities. They have common interests: pay the fewest claims and attract and maintain in their networks the largest number of medical services providers. To advance their interests they deny and uphold the denial of as many of their insureds’ claims as possible; disregard the legal obligation to accept as total payment Medicare’s schedules of fees for services; and condone the billing of insureds for the unpaid balance. The majority of insureds who appeal denials and balance billing appear pro se. Due to their ignorance of the law, they are abused. The recovery can be huge and force transformative change⁶.

.
c. Federal judges intercept⁷ people’s emails and mail to detect and suppress those of their critics. Thereby they deprive the People of their most cherished rights, i.e., those guaranteed by the 1^st Amendment to “freedom of speech, of the press, the right of the people peaceably to assemble [on the Internet], and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances [e.g., compensation]”⁸.

3. The professors and students participating in the proposed public interest clinic can reasonably expect broad support: The MeToo! and BLM movements and those against police brutality, and for racial and socio-economic equality are expressions of the People’s self-assertive rallying cry: Enough is enough! We won’t take any abuse from anybody anymore. So, the participants can give rise to a key midterm issue and be nationally recognized as the People’s Champions of Justice.

Dare trigger history!…and you may enter it.

Every meaningful cause needs resources for its advancement;
none can be continued, let alone advanced, without money

4. Lip service advances nothing; but it continues to enable the abusers.

Put your money where your
outrage at abuse and
quest for justice are.

Dear Professor Gersen, Professor Rose-Ackerman, peers, and students,^‡
‡ http://Judicial-Discipline-Reform.org/OL2/DrRCordero-ProfSRoseAckerman_ProfJSGersen.pdf 

1. I read with interest, Prof. Rose-Ackerman, your paper “Judicial Independence and Corruption”.

2. Thanks to your arguing, Prof. Gersen, of Strickland v. U.S., the Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit held on April 26 that the Federal Judiciary and its officers, including judges, can on constitutional grounds be sued and held liable in their official and individual capacities.

3. This is a proposal to follow a series of strategic steps to expose judicial independence as unaccountability that allows judges’ riskless corruption and abuse of power for their gain and convenience. Those steps should lead to a class action to compensate their victims. Yale and Harvard law students can take the lead in that exposure as they did in the opposition to the nomination of J. Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. The action can be a teaching event, as shown infra.

4. The first step is for you and your students to invite me to present the proposal by video conference or in person to you, them, and your peers. You can preview it my article at^♦ and on my website Judicial Discipline Reform at http://www.Judicial-Discipline-Reform.org. That site has attracted countless webvisitors and turned into subscribers 44,711 of them as of September 4, 2022..

5. They have been induced to subscribe by my professional law research and writing, and strategic thinking. You all can assess the validity of that statement by reviewing the foundation of my articles posted there, namely, my three-volume study of judges and their judiciaries^♣:

Exposing Judges’ Unaccountability and
Consequent Riskless Abuse of Power:
Pioneering the news and publishing field of
judicial unaccountability reporting* ^{† ♣}

1. That study collects and discusses abundant evidence(OL:194§E) showing that judges individually and as a class through coordination engage in corruption and abuse of power.

a. The most recent and indisputable evidence thereof is found in the series of articles that The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) began to publish on September 28, 2021, under the initial title “131 Federal Judges Broke the Law by Hearing Cases Where They Had a Financial Interest”. At last count, 58 of those judges had instructed their clerks of court to notify the parties to those cases that those judges should have recused themselves then, have done so now, and new judges will be assigned to their cases.

1. The Federal Judiciary has not taken any disciplinary action against any of those judges. Judges protect each other through their explicit or implicit reciprocal cover-up agreement: ‘Today you protect me and tomorrow I’ll protect you, for if you let them take me down, I’ll bring you with me!’

2. This explains why no action is going to be taken by AG Merrick Garland given that he was a member, and for 7 years the chief judge, of the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

a. Any investigation of judges authorized by him even if he subsequently recused himself would incriminate him as their accessory: He kept quite after learning of their act of corruption and abuse, whereby his expected silence enabled them before their next act; let alone if he were a principal. So, it falls on law professors and students, and lawyers to muster the courage and take the initiative to expose judges’ misconduct and the cover-up agreement that perpetuates it.

9. The second step envisages your and your students’ sharing this proposal with the officers of the student class and associations that will vie for new members during the fair of associations to be held at the beginning of next academic year. Thus, time is of the essence. It is also so because the public is getting ready to vote in the midterm elections. It can hold accountable the politicians who nominated and confirmed judicial candidates and since then protect them as ‘our men and women on the bench’, their harm to others notwithstanding. Hence the importance of turning into a key electoral issue judges’ corruption and abuse of power and politicians’ condonation of them.

1. The third step aims to do that by professors and students holding press conferences where they ask the media to join them in demanding that President Biden release the secret reports that the FBI has submitted to presidents after vetting judicial candidates by exercising, when needed, its subpoena power. That demand will be justified by the need to answer this question: What did the President and his predecessors know about their corruption and abuse and when did they know it? Will they claim that the reports were ‘accidentally erased during a system upgrade’, as the Secret Service and Homeland Security have concerning emails related to the January 6 Capitol assault?

a. Indeed, the public has grown increasingly determined to hold public figures and officers accountable and liable to compensate their victims since the eruption of the MeToo! and BLM movements; the protests against police brutality, socio-economic inequalities, and the Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe v. Wade; the public hearings of the House January 6 Committee and the lip service assurance by AG Garland that “nobody is above the law” so that the Department of Justice will prosecute all Capitol assault organizers and participants.

1. The class action will generate a flood of motions to vacate, remand, and for new trials; for the reimbursement by recused judges of the cost of judicial process that they rendered useless and of disentangling contracts based on their now void or voidable decisions; and for actions against state judges and judiciaries. They will create a much-needed niche practice for you and your students.

Every meaningful cause needs resources for its advancement;
none can be continued, let alone advanced, without money

1. Lip service advances nothing; but it continues to enable the abusers.

Put your money where your
outrage at abuse and
quest for justice are.

Proposal to Reuters, WSJ, WP, and all other media outlets
for a joint venture at the most propitious time:
when the Supreme Court’s leaked abortion draft opinion
has set the mood for national outrage to explode as a result of
the exposure of justices’ and judges’ participation in
abuse of power and financial criminality
so coordinated and widespread as to amount to
their running the Federal Judiciary as a racketeering enterprise:
“Scandal sells” and can win Pulitzer Prizes by leading to
the serial resignation of justices, judges, and courts;
the loss of public trust in the Federal Judiciary that brings it down;
the calling of the constitutional convention already petitioned by 34 states;
and a new constitution by today’s We the People

A. The foundation for exposing judges’ and justices’ abuse of power and financial criminality

1. The leaked draft opinion by Supreme Court Justice Samuel A. Alito revealing that a majority of the Court favors overturning Roe v. Wade has caused national jubilation but even more outrage.
   .
2. That outrage would pale by comparison to that which can be provoked and overcome much jubilation by a series of responsible and principled articles, such as those already written and available for review(Appendix 6§A) or that can be written on commission(Appendix 6§B), exposing how the justices, who are unaccountable and not even held to any ethics code, run and condone the running of the Federal Judiciary as a racketeering enterprise.
   .
3. There is solid basis for raising these charges against justices and judges. To begin with, there is the series of articles that The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) began to publish on September 28, 2021, under the initial title “131 Federal Judges Broke the Law by Hearing Cases Where They Had a Financial Interest”.
   .
   …….a. Another article in the series was published on November 2, 2021, titled “Hidden Interests – Federal Judge Files Recusal Notices in 138 Cases After WSJ Queries. [U.S. Chief District Judge of the Eastern District of Texas] Rodney Gilstrap initially argued he didn’t violate financial-conflicts law”; James.Grimaldi@wsj.com, Joe.Palazzolo@wsj.com, Coulter.Jones@wsj.com, Michael.Siconolfi@wsj.com.
   .
   …….b. The judges who failed to recuse themselves in order to grab money necessarily engaged, lest they incriminate themselves, in inside trading, fraud, concealment of assets, tax evasion, and money laundering. Those are crimes. They are complex and require coordination. When judges committed them as principals or condoned them as accessories, they became the judicial class that turned the Federal Judiciary into a ‘racketeer influenced and corrupt organization’(Cf. Title 18 of the U.S. Code of federal law, section 1961 (18 U.S.C. §1961)).
   .
   …….c. When a chief judge engages in such systematic abuse of power and financial criminality, how strongly do his fellow judges feel justified and encouraged by his example in committing any and all sorts of abuse and crimes so that abuse and criminality become their judiciary’s institutionalized way of doing business?
   .
   …….d. Today journalists must ask the famous question that Sen. Howard Baker, the ranking minority member of the Senate Watergate Committee, asked of every witness at the Watergate hearings to find out what President Nixon knew about the Watergate affair(paragraph 14 infra), adapting it so:

1) What did Supreme Court Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr., know about the abuse and criminality of his fellow judges, whom he is supposed to supervise, and when did he know it?

2) What did Justice Samuel A. Alito, the circuit justice assigned under 28 U.S.C. §42, to, and with supervisory duties over, the Fifth Circuit, which includes Texas, know about it, and when did he know it?

3) What did Justice Clarence Thomas know about his wife’s effort to overturn the 2020 election results; and when did he know it? Let him “deal with it” and with his failure to report in his annual financial disclosure reports her earnings(jur:72§b).

4) What did Then-Judge, Now-Justice Sonia Sotomayor know about the DeLano case, over which she presided and which so clearly “beyond a reasonable doubt” incriminated her in a cover-up of a bankruptcy fraud scheme that it was suppressed from the documents on her submitted to the Senate Committee on Judicial Nominations dealing with her confirmation to the Supreme Court; and when did she know it(jur:65§§1-3).

5) What did President Joe Biden know through the FBI secret vetting reports about the participation in judges’ abuse and criminality, or their cover-up, by former Chief Judge Merrick Garland of the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, now his Attorney General, and Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, who sits in that Circuit; and when did he know it?

4. Thomson Reuters, on the strength of its 2,500+ journalists and 600+ photojournalists, can scoop the story of the justices’ abuse and criminality. It already dare publish on June 30, 2020, the first of its three-part report “The Teflon Robe” on its massive investigation of state judges led by John.Shiffman@thomsonreuters.com and Michael.Berens@thomsonreuters.com. It found that “hardwired judicial corruption” intertwines state judges and the state commissions on judicial performance that are duty-bound to supervise and discipline them.
   .
   a.   a. Reuters asked readers to send it their stories of abuse by judges…and it was “inundated” with them. This goes to showing that people who have suffered or witnessed judges’ abuse want to tell their story to the largest public possible.
   .
5. The mood for exposing the justices’ unaccountability and their consequent riskless abuse of power and financial criminality is manifest in Congress. This is shown by The Hill, in its article “House panel to explore impeachment [of Justice Clarence Thomas], judicial ethics in wake of Ginni Thomas texts” by Emily Brooks, published on April 2, 2022. It reported that:
   .
          a. “Representative Hank Johnson (D-Ga.), the chairman of the House Judiciary courts subcommittee, …last year introduced the Supreme Court Ethics Act to implement a judicial code of conduct that applies to the Supreme Court. Jones co-led the Twenty-First Century Courts Act, which would similarly implement a code of conduct for the justices.
   .
   b.b. b. “He said, “Recent reports that the text messages of a justice’s spouse urging the overturning of a free and fair election may have been at issue in a case in front [sic] the Supreme Court — but that the justice did not recuse himself from the case — is just the latest and particularly egregious example in an unfortunately long list of illustrations as to why Supreme Court justices need to follow a formal code of ethics,” Johnson told The Hill. “I have been calling for this sort of reform for years, and I am encouraged to see a large, bipartisan majority of the public in favor of this long overdue legislation…Johnson called for Thomas’s resignation.”
   .
   6. Strickland v. U.S., no. 21-1346, is a civil case where a decision was handed down by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4^th Circuit on April 26, 2022. It is unprecedented, for it holds that the Federal Judiciary and its officials are suable on grounds of the 5^th and 14^th Amendments due process and equal protection of the law clauses, as well as specific acts of Congress. Hence, it reversed the outright dismissal by the trial court, which had invoked judicial immunity –a doctrine self-servingly conjured up by judges themselves in defiance of the Constitution– and remanded for further proceedings.
   .
   …….a. Strickland opens the door for all abusees joining forces to collectively demand compensation from the Federal Judiciary and the justices themselves. Imagine the amount of business generated if Thomson Reuters, I, and other media outlets showed the abusees how to demand such compensation.

B. What I bring to the joint venture

7. I established Judicial Discipline Reform. Its website is at http://www.Judicial-Discipline-Reform.org. There I post articles with law research findings and legal strategy to which the national public has access. Those articles have attracted so many webvisitors and appealed to them so positively that as of June 8, 2022, the number of them who had become subscribers was 44,206+.(Appendix 3)
   .
   …….a. Do you know of any law firm, let alone a lawyer, that has so many subscribers to their website?
   .
8. The subscribers to my site have found my articles appealing although the articles are intellectually demanding and written in long form. It is reasonable to assume that the subscribers are mostly the type of highly educated and well-off readers of such top publications as The New York Times and its Sunday Edition, The Washington Post, The New Yorker, TIME Magazine, The Atlantic, The Boston Globe, etc.
   .
9. These subscribers can afford the books and services of Thomson Reuters and other publishers, just as their lawyers can.
   .
   10. The general public too, including pro ses, is attracted to the website and can patronize its sponsor’s advertisement there thanks to the concrete, reasonable, and feasible ways in which I have proposed that people take action in their own interest; e.g.:
   .
   …….a. the two-phase method for writing their own story;
   .
   …….b. how to use legal sources of information for brief writing(see a list of them at Appendix 6§C);
   .
   …….c. the folly of pro ses improvising themselves as lawyers;
   .
   …….d. how to seek free legal assistance.
   …
   11. Judicial Discipline Reform, its articles, and site rely on a three-volume study of judges and their judiciaries, the product of professional law research and writing, and strategic thinking. It holds the materials corresponding to the (blue references) herein; and is titled and downloadable thus* ^{† ♣}:

Exposing Judges’ Unaccountability and
Consequent Riskless Abuse of Power:

judicial unaccountability reporting* ^{† ♣}

112. Moreover, I bring to the joint venture a plan of also concrete, realistic, and feasible actions that media outlets and I can undertake right away and that is reasonably calculated to be financially and reputationally beneficial for all venturers. It includes an investigative plan with an abundance of leads(OL:194§E).

C From judicial resignations, an institutional crisis, a constitutional convention, to a new constitution by today’s We the People

113. Reuters, WSJ, The Washington Post (WP), and all other media outlets can do so much better than merely sit back and watch as spectators how other publishers and Congress scoop the exposure of judges’ and justices’ commission or condonation of abuse of power and financial criminality, just as Politico scooped the abortion draft opinion. They have the means of taking the reins of the investigative bandwagon and set out towards Pioneering the news and publishing field of judicial unaccountability reporting.
.
114. The Washington Post published with courage and persistence a series of articles that set in motion a generalized media investigation of the crimes that President Nixon and ‘All his Men’ committed by organizing and covering up the break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate building in Washington, DC, on June 17, 1972, to commit political espionage. WP was instrumental in forcing Nixon to resign and causing ‘All his Men’ to go to jail. For that, WP became the symbol of excellence in journalism in the public interest, in general, and investigative journalism, in particular.

115. Today, Reuters, WSJ, WP, and all other media outlets can do much more than just bring down a group of men who went rogue. Rather, they can expose how a whole branch of government, the Federal Judiciary, has gone rogue to become a racketeering enterprise.

116. They can inform the national public about, and so outrage it at, judges’ and justices’ abuse and criminality as to stir up the public, having lost its trust in their integrity and honesty, to demand the resignation of judges, justices, and even a whole court, such as the Supreme Court.

117. This inform and outrage strategy is realistic, for the public is strongest during primaries and in view of elections. Then it wields its enormous power to donate money, volunteer as campaign workers, spread positive word of mouth, and vote.

a. Ironically, this strategy is unintentionally validated by Justice Thomas, who recognized the dire impact on the Supreme Court of the loss of trust in it when he said in connection with the leaked abortion draft opinion: “”When you lose that trust, especially in the institution that I’m in, it changes the institution fundamentally. You begin to look over your shoulder…What happened at the court was tremendously bad,…I wonder how long we’re going to have these institutions at the rate we’re undermining them. And then I wonder when they’re gone or destabilized, what we’re going to have as a country.” Clarence Thomas says Supreme Court leak has eroded trust in institution; Robert Barnes; The Washington Post; May 14, 2022.

b. The likely answer to his rhetorical question is ‘we are going to have a summer of rage’. That is precisely the mood that can fuel the series of events leading to those discussed hereunder.

118. There is also precedent for the inform and outrage strategy in the forced resignations of(OL3:1423§c):

…….a. Supreme Court Justice Abe Fortas on May 14, 1969;

…….b. Former Ninth Circuit Chief Judge Alex Kozinski on December 18, 2017;

…….c. Circuit Judge Maryanne Trump Barry, the sister of President Donald Trump, who resigned from the 3rd Circuit on February 11, 2019;

…….d. Circuit Judge Robert Bork of the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit had his resignation preempted by the Senate’s rejection on October 23, 1987, of his nomination to the Supreme Court. He was doomed by the public outrage that he had provoked more than a decade earlier when he carried out President’s Nixon’s order to fire Special Watergate Prosecutor Archibald Cox in the Saturday Night Massacre on October 20, 1973.

119. Public outrage is a powerful force very difficult to resist. The outrage unleashed by the exposure of justices’ and judges’ abuse and criminality can set off an institutional crisis: Which of the other two branches would dare hold judges accountable, who could retaliate by holding their laws and even their electoral programs unconstitutional or interpret them so expansively or restrictively as to render them ineffective?(jur:23fn17a)

220. That crisis can force the occurrence of what 34 states have petitioned Congress to do since April 2, 2014, but its members will not do voluntarily, lest they lose their privileges and power: call a constitutional convention in accordance with the amending provisions of Article V of the Constitution.

221. A constitutional convention ran away with its mandate and instead of reforming the Articles of Confederation that the Second Continental Congress had approved on November 1, 1777, cast them aside. The convention, likewise made up only of white landed Christian free men, drafted the current Constitution, which was ratified by the 13 states in 1789.

122. Public outrage has been building up since the eruption of the MeToo! and BLM movements, the protests against social and economic inequality, the resentment against the Covid mandates and discrimination of Asian and Pacific Islanders communities, the fast-intensifying animosity among supporters and opponents of the leaked abortion draft opinion.

.23. That outrage can reach its paroxysm and clear the way to the irrepressible will of the living today to break free from the now dead hands of those who wrote the Constitution 233 years ago. Never conceived to deal with a world that their heads could not even imagine, that Constitution is twisted to read one way at one time and the opposite way at another time by nine unelected justices…who even unaccountably and risklessly participate in, or cover up, their and their colleagues’ abuse of power and criminality.

Enough is enough!
We won’t take any abuse by anybody anymore.

224. Their outrage casting aside the current Constitution even before they become assembled in a constitutional convention, today’s men, women, and LBGTQs, rich and poor, those of faith and no faith, of any color, whether in cities, suburbs, rural areas, and Indian land, workers at desks or with tools in their hands, from young adults to senior citizens, all of them can choose for themselves as the sovereign source of all public power the fundamental rules by which they want to live. They can author the Code of Governance of Today’s We the People.

D. First steps toward the key objectives of the business venture

225. The media outlets that are instrumental in launching this chain of events can become for generations the symbol of excellence in journalism and its power to bring about transformative change in the public interest. Such recognition can begin with winning Pulitzer Prizes and making money, for “Scandal sells”.

226. You all and I can in our own financial and reputational interest take the lead by Pioneering the news and publishing field of judicial unaccountability reporting. Our audience will be, in general, the national public in voting mood, and, in particular, the scores of millions of people who have suffered or witnessed judges’ abuse of power and financial criminality.

227. The first steps of the joint venture consist in both the serial publication by you of the following articles that I have written and can edit upon your review of them(Appendix 6§A); and others that I can write on commission, whether along the lines of my sample of subjects(Appendix 6§B) or a subject proposed by you; and the further investigation to follow the leads that they contain; e.g.:

…….a. judges’ interception of people’s emails and mail to detect and suppress those of their critics; and its investigation by forensic Information Technology experts;

…….b. the mathematical demonstration that the overwhelming majority of briefs are not read by judges, but rather are disposed of to lighten their workload by their having clerks rubberstamp reasonless, unresearched, fiat-like 5¢ dumping forms; and its further statistical strengthening by auditing judges’ decisions, most of which they post to their courts’ websites, whose addresses can be found through the federal court finder;

…….c. the development of advanced statistical, linguistic, and literary research software to analyze all sorts and vast amounts of writings to detect the most persuasive kind of evidence: patterns and schemes of abuse;

…….d. the Follow the Money! and Follow the Wire! investigations that apply forensic research techniques, e.g., Fraud and Forensic Accounting(jur:102§a; OL:194§E) to discover assets that judges have grabbed, concealed, evaded taxes on, and money laundered(OL:1); and determine their illegal use to do so of government property, such as the Federal Judiciary’s vast, national digital network and expertise; cf. CM/ECF (Case Management/Electronic Case Filing) and PACER (Public Access to Court Electronic Records);

…….e. judges’ abuse of the congressional grant to them of self-discipline authority under the Judicial Conduct and Disability Act of 1980(28 U.S.C. §§351-364) by dismissing 100% of complaints filed against any federal judge and denying 100% of petitions to review those dismissals, thus institutionalizing judges’ implicit or explicit complicit agreement for reciprocal exoneration from all complaints: ‘Today I exempt you from the complaint against you, and tomorrow you exempt me and my friends from any complaint against us, no matter the nature, extent, and gravity of the abuse complained-about’;

…….f. the investigation of Supreme Court justices and congressional leaders, which can benefit from the abundance of leads that I have collected(OL:194§E; jur:65§B).

228. The business venture can also enhance my site technologically into a clearinghouse and a research center. This will allow people to post their stories of abuse by judges that they have suffered or witness as well as their complaints against judges already or to be filed; and to research them for patterns and schemes of abuse of power and financial criminality that but for coordination among judges and between them and their cronies would not have been organized and become operational.

229. The venture can enable people to tell their stories to the national public at unprecedented citizens hearings. The latter will be organized by Reuters, WSJ, WP, other media outlets, their journalists, and professors and students. They will be held at university auditoriums, media stations, and via video conference to make it inexpensive for the largest number of people to tell their stories and virtually attend the citizens hearings.

…….a. Those hearings will be a source of invaluable leads for researchers to further their investigation of justices’ and judges’ abuse and criminality. The hearings can be expected to become a self-reinforcing research mechanism that makes any investment in mounting the learning curve pay off and become long-term financially and reputationally profitable.

E. My offer to make a presentation on this proposal for a joint venture

330. I offer to present this proposal for a joint venture via video conference and, if in NY City, in person. Preview its key features by reviewing my webinar and its slides.

334. This is an opportunity for you and the rest of the media, so unjustly denigrated as “the enemy of the people”, to redeem yourselves by informing the people and channeling their outrage so as to enable them to assert their status as the Masters of all public servants, including justices and judges, entitled to exercise their authority as such to hold them accountable for their abuse of the public power entrusted to them and liable to compensate the victims of their abuse.

335. By so doing, we can become financially and reputationally rewarded not only with Pulitzer Prizes, but also by being nationally recognized by a grateful People as their Champions of Justice.

F. Every meaningful cause needs resources for its advancement;
none can be continued, let alone advanced, without money

336. Lip service advances nothing; but it continues to enable the abusers.

Put your money where your
outrage at abuse and
quest for justice are.

WEBINAR
at the most propitious time for
exposing judges’ abuse of power, financial criminality, and cover-up:
precisely when the confirmation of a justice nominee and
top media outlets’ reports on judges’ wrongdoing
have drawn public attention to everything judicial and
primarying politicians
need to appear responsive to public outrage;
and
WORKSHOP
for learning to write in up to 500 words your story
of judges’ wrongdoing that you have suffered or witnessed,
and promoting the holding by journalists, professors, and students of
unprecedented citizens hearings
where people can tell their stories to the national public and
so inform and outrage the public as to stir it up to take action,
such as collectively demanding compensation
from judges and their judiciaries
by applying judges’ own decisions that have held
churches, universities, and sports organizations
liable for their handling of
sexually abusive priests, pastors, and officers.

The scores of articles posted here are the product of professional law research and writing, and strategic thinking.

They analyze current events and propose concrete, reasonable, and feasible actions that webvisitors can take in their own interest in:

1. 1. 1. exposing judicial abuse of power and financial criminality;
      2. collectively demanding compensation; and
      3. setting in motion reform of the justice system ‒as opposed to only the Supreme Court, the narrow target of the Biden Commission‒ through transformative change, i.e., what goes into the process of change comes out transformed into a different entity.

Hence, the articles, far from being entries for a law debating society, have a pragmatic purpose for journalists and their audience, lawyers and their clients, and pro ses. You will benefit from reading them.

The articles are supported by the three-volume study of judges and their judiciaries, titled and downloadable thus:

The Webinar
on exposing judges’ unaccountability and
consequent riskless abuse of power and financial criminality

and

The Workshop
on writing in up to 500 words your story of abuse by judges
and prepare to tell it to the national public at
unprecedented citizens hearings;
see hereunder a detailed description of
the two-phase method for writing your story
presented by
Dr. Richard Cordero, Esq.,
of
Judicial Discipline Reform
http://www.Judicial-Discipline-Reform.org

A. The Webinar

1. 1. Abuse of power by judges on their turf: their courts

a. Government officials, who appoint judges, will not expose their appointees

b. Attorney General Judge Merrick Garland will not expose other judges

c. expository reports in The Wall Street Journal, Thomson Reuters, Boston Globe, International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, ABC, NBC, The Center for Public Integrity, and The Washington Post.

1. 2. Out-of-court inform and outrage strategy for exposing judges’ abuse

a. Using your stories to persuade journalists and students and professors

1) they are numerous and have expertise, means, and sources

2) can audit many stories and detect patterns of coordinated abuse

3) can inform the national public of their findings and outrage it

1. Outraging the national public before the primaries of the mid-term elections

a. hold unprecedented citizens hearings at media stations & universities

b. help organize local chapters for collectively demanding compensation^♦

1) apply decisions holding Catholic Church liable for pedophilic priests

1. Outraged public turning judges’ abuse and criminality into key electoral issue

a. principled and opportunistic politicians pay attention to voters’ concerns

b. politicians can use subpoena and contempt power to investigate judges

B. The story-writing Workshop

5. Two-phase method for writing your story of abuse by judges

a. in up to 500 words

b. a story that is accurate, significant, and verifiable

1. Phase 1: creative, allows the free flow of dots of information, such as:

a. dots of What!? Who? Where? When? How? Why? What now?

1) names of people and entities: titles and relationships

2) events: eviction, belongings removed, auction announced & held

3) property: location; and before and now ownership and value

4) documents: titles, docket numbers, citations to laws and rules

5) terms, concepts, phrases, causes of action, claims

6) dates: deadlines, statute of limitations, payments, filing, trial

b. start organizing the dots chronologically; ask “then what?”

c. connect the dots by jotting words or phrases describing or explaining

1. Phase 2: critical, requires checking dots, grammar, logical flow of story

2. Send your story using the two blocs of email addresses of:

a. the members of the Biden Commission on reforming the Supreme Court

c. ask that they hold unprecedented citizens hearings

d. share and post Dr. Cordero’s email/article on these webinars and two-phase story writing method.

C. Advancing a common cause

1. Donating

1. Every meaningful cause needs resources for its advancement;
   none can be continued, let alone advanced, without money.

2. Support the common cause of advocating honest judiciaries. That is what  Judicial Discipline Reform  has done by engaging in professional law research and writing, and strategic thinking.

3. That is how it has produced the webinar and
   workshop, and their underlying 3-volume study of judges and their judiciaries, which is titled and downloadable thus:

TD Bank, routing # 260 13 673, account # 43 92 62 52 45

2. Investing capital to advance the common cause

1. 13.  There are many activities that can advance the common cause of advocating honest judiciaries by holding judges accountable for their performance and liable to compensate the victims of their abuse and financial criminality. They can be financed also by capital investment in Judicial Discipline Reform, as described in its business plan.
   14. Among those activities are the following, which can help to:a. continue the professional law research and writing, and strategic thinking, which has produced a three-volume study of judges and their judiciaries, titled and downloadable thus:

Exposing Judges’ Unaccountability and
Consequent Riskless Abuse of Power:
Pioneering the news and publishing field of
judicial unaccountability reporting* ^{† ♣}

 b. develop the website at http://www.Judicial-Discipline-Reform.org, whose articles(Appendix 6§A) have attracted countless webvisitors and elicited in them such a positive reaction that 43,448+ have become subscribers as of March 9, 2022(App.3). The website can be developed from an informational platform into:

1) a clearinghouse for complaints against judges uploaded by anybody;

2) a research center for fee-paying clients auditing judges’ decisions and searching many other writings from many sources that through computer-assisted statistical, linguistic, and literary analysis can reveal the most persuasive type of evidence: judges’ patterns, trends, and schemes of abuse of power, e.g.; their interception of people’s emails and mail to detect and suppress those of their critics; and

3) the digital portal of the multidisciplinary academic and business venture leading up to the Institute of Judicial Unaccountability Reporting and Reform Advocacy attached to a university or news network;

c. organize and embark on a tour of webinars and workshops to you and your group of guests, organizations, and students and professors at law, journalism, business, Information Technology, and social sciences schools; media outlets; etc., via video conference or, if in NY City, in person. To assess my capacity to present view my video and follow it on its slides;

d. hold together with academics, journalists, and media outlets the proposed unprecedented citizens hearings, where people will have a chance to tell the national public their stories of judges’ abuse of power and financial criminality;

e. organize the first-ever, and national, multidisciplinary and multimedia conference on judges’ abuse in connivance with politicians, who fearing their power of retaliation allow them to be unaccountable, where the report on the citizens hearings will be presented;

f. publish as a sequel to the hearings report an academics/journalists multidisciplinary Annual Report on Judicial Unaccountability and Consequent Riskless Abuse of Power, which can become the citizens’ version of what judges have fiercely and successfully opposed: an independent inspector general of the judiciary;

g. launch a generalized media investigation into judges and their judiciaries because Scandal sells & wins Pulitzer Prizes;

h. promote the formation of a national, single issue, apolitical, non-denominational civic movement for judicial abuse of power exposure, compensation of abusees, and reform through transformative change(¶77); etc.(¶48).

THE WORKSHOP’S
TWO-PHASE METHOD FOR WRITING YOUR STORY

Using your story for demanding that
the Biden Commission on Supreme Court reform
hear your testimony at its “public meetings”; and
asking universities and the media,
such as the news agencies The Wall Street Journal, Thomson Reuters, The Boston Globe, International Consortium of Investigative Journalists,
The Washington Post, TIME, The New Yorker, Propublica, and
The New York Times,
to let the national public hear your story by holding the proposed
unprecedented citizens hearings

A. Telling your story at the most opportune time: when people want to hear it

1. 1. This article lays out a two-phase method for you to write in up to 500 words the story of the abuse of power by judges and guardians that you have suffered or witnessed.
   2. Your effort in writing your story will pay off, for you will be doing so at the most opportune time: when the public, journalists, universities, and even many politicians want to hear about those stories in the context of what will soon dominate the national debate: the Commission nominated by President Biden on April 9, 2021, to study ways of reforming the Supreme Court; and the desire attributed to him and his party “to pack the Supreme Court”, that is, to increase the number of justices from 9 to 15 and reduce their life-appointment to a term of years.

B. Composing an informative and brief story to be read, heard, and investigated

1. 3. You want to tell the national public your story of judges’ abuse of power and make the public share your outrage at it. You also want your story to be investigated by journalists.
   4. But nobody is going to read the scores, never mind hundreds, of pages generated by your case in court to figure out what your story is all about.
   5. Moreover, at a hearing you will have only 5 minutes to tell your story…a rambling account will not hold the attention of the audience even that long.
   6. In addition, journalists will not investigate a story that is confusing and missing key pieces of information so that it fails to pique their curiosity and makes them feel that it would not interest their own audience.
   7. Therefore, you will benefit from applying the method set forth below for writing an informative and brief story. You will use it to rehearse your oral delivery of it at a hearing.

C. Not a professionally written story, but written after doing your homework

1. 8. Research your own documents and cite them so that your story is accurate and verifiable.
   9. Write a story that is significant to the audience: You are not writing a diary for your private reading. You are writing a story to be read by others, your audience. Organize it chronologically so that it can be easily followed by people who are totally unfamiliar with you and it.
   10. Highlight the most outrageous events and avoid getting bogged down in details unimportant to the story even if they are important to you. After reading it, your audience should be able to exclaim: ‘The judge in this story did A, B, and C. How outrageous!”
   11. Edit your writing to make it as grammatically correct as you can so that the audience’s attention is concentrated on your story without grammatical mistakes distracting it and reflecting poorly on your degree of education and attention to detail.
   12. Your objectives are clear: Your accurate and verifiable story earns you the respect and trust of your audience. Its significance to them earns you their gratitude. All this may makes you attain your most important objective: your audience’s action in support of your cause.
   13. Your audience’s support will be more likely and stronger if you apply to the writing of your story a principle of strategic thinking: “People never listen so attentively and react so positively as when they listen to avoid harm to themselves and their loved ones.”
   14. Make your audience feel that the abuse by judges that you suffered or witnessed can happen to them too. They can fall prey to the abusers. “No! That is unacceptable. That is outrageous! I must support this victim to end this abuse before it gets me!”

D. You need intermediaries to bring your story to the national public

1. 15. That must be the reaction of your ultimate audience: the national public. Only that public, informed about, and outraged at, judges’ unaccountability and riskless abuse of power, can force the reform not only of the Supreme Court, but also the lower federal court and even the state courts. Your story alone will not attain that objective, but it must contribute to attaining it.
   16. To tell your story to the national public you need the Biden Commission as well as journalists and universities to become interested in it and let you use their means for publicizing it.
   17. So, it is shortsighted and counterproductive to disparage the media. They are not your enemies. They are your loudspeakers. They do not form a monolithic entity. There are thousands of media outlets and tens of thousands of journalists. Not all of them have the same point of view, means, or standing: The New York Times and The Washington Post do not behave the same way as a new outfit with a handful of journalists trying to breakthrough in the world of digital investigations.
   18. Yet, they share a common interest: their commercial and reputational advancement. In addition, they can pick and choose among the scores of millions of people who have been abused by judges. You need journalists more than they need you. Treat all of them with respect. That is required by ethical considerations, professional standards, and strategic thinking.

E. Advice on story writing tested and applied successfully

1. 19. I have applied the advice given here to produce my three-volume study of judges and their judiciaries. The study rests on professional law research and writing, and strategic thinking. It is titled and downloadable thus:

F. The two-phase writing method

1. In phase one, use your unrestrained creative spirit to draft your story

1. In the end you want to produce a story that flows smoothly into your audience’s mind and that is accurate, significant, and verifiable. But at the beginning, there is the big bang of story creation: The story bursts out of your mind chaotically onto a computer page (or paper). Anything makes its way out. Nothing is subjected to critical thought controls. If it pops up, jot it down.

2. Sit at your computer and write on a word processing page whatever word, term, or phrase identifies a person, event, place, document, thing, idea, concept, etc., apparently associated with your story. They are your story’s informational dots. Each opens a crack in your mind and lets other escape.

3. You are not yet trying to write grammatically correct and complete sentences. You only want to get started telling your story. Blurt anything and everything onto the page.

4. Let your stream of consciousness bubble out unrestrained by your thinking mind so that it sprinkles dots of your story all over the page. As related words, terms, and phrases flow out of your mind, keep adding them to or between the other dots on the page.

5. Widen and multiply the cracks in your mind by asking yourself about your story the journalists’ W-questions: What!? Who? Where? When? How? Why? What now?

6. Keep asking of every word, term, phrase, and sentence concerning an event: “then what happened?…and then what did they say?…and then what did I do?…and then…?” They are alive in your mind. They can hear and answer you. They can even ask you questions.

7. If informational dots or you ask questions that you cannot answer right away, only jot them down. Do not interrupt the fireworks of dots. Let it rip! Enjoy. Search for answers and evaluate their significance in phase two. Gradually questions will become more complex:

a. What was the name of the opposing party’s attorney?…and her law firm?

b. Did the judge issue an oral order from the bench or did he read one that he had written? Did he cite any law or rule?

c. Why did the judge order me to pay rent because the landlord had fixed the plumbing? I never told him; and the landlord never filed an answer! So how did the judge know? Did she confused me with another tenant? How many times has this landlord or his lawyer appeared before this judge?…Mmm. I’ll have to look into this later on.

1. When you have about ten informational dots, move them up and down in a rough chronological order of appearance in your story. As you do so, add to them any other words, terms, and phrases that enlarge their meaning, identify them more narrowly, or should be inserted between them.

2. Keep reading the dots, even aloud. Put them in a jingle, make them rhyme even if they make no sense…and they will come alive!, dancing in your mind and inviting to dance other words, terms, and phrases that are also dots. Let them jump onto the stage of your page.

3. Something like sentences will begin to appear. Keep ordering them chronologically and inserting more dots between them or enlarging them with details.

4. Painting by numbers, using stars to draw a constellation, you are connecting the dots into the sketch of a figure. It seems to be telling a story…your story! You can do this. You did it! You are telling your story!

5. Use a ‘balancing test’ to compare the dots’ weight of outrageousness for the story to make sense and be significant to them: the ones who do not know you or your story. Remove to another page dots that feel of ‘lighter’ significance. You are starting to recognize a hierarchy among the dots. That will help you stay within the 500-word limit. Combine the dots into rough sentences.

6. HOURS later you will feel that you have told your story from beginning to end. Let it sit for a day. You are not done, not even close: You only wrote your first draft. But you did!

2. In phase two, use your critical judgment to edit your story

1. Come back to your draft and read it through. Only thereafter start moving around and connecting the sentences in a way that will make sense to a person who does not know anything about it.

2. Avoid confusing your audience: Use the same word to refer to the same person, idea, event, object, etc. Double check your dates; the names of places, people, and their titles. Make sure who said what to whom. Do not trust your memory. Case and other documents. Research the law to provide citations. Journalists will check them and you must ensure that they can verify them. Be accurate.

3. Right now you are writing for an audience of journalists. They are knowledgeable, critical, and demanding. But they do not know anything about your story. Do not assume that they can fill in the details that you left out that are necessary for your story to make sense to them.

4. Try to the best of your ability to tell them a story that persuades them of the outrageousness of unaccountable judges’ riskless abuse of power. But do not be melodramatic; do not exaggerate.

5. Never make up details. Always make a clear distinction between facts, opinion, and impressions. Admit that you do not know what you do not know. You may be able to tell a lie as to a dot here or there. But journalists look at the whole picture and realize how false dots do not fit in. Lie-ridden mouths are not invited to tell their story. Even if you did not intend to provide false details, as when lying, but your details are incorrect for failure to check them against documents and other sources, you become an unreliable storyteller. You lose credibility. Never compromise it.

6. Self-editing means revising and rewriting your draft story; and correcting your grammar and the position of paragraphs, sentences, and clauses. It will take longer than drafting it: Dots were connected into a sketch. Now you are painting the sketch with the colors of accuracy, verifiability, and significance that reveal the outrageousness of the abuse of power of the judges in your story.

a. What to omit

1. Abstain from outbursts intended to elicit pity and appeal for commiseration. Do not appear emotionally fragile, unstable, or hypersensitive. Do not come across as a basket case.

2. Do not dilute your story’s significance with trivial details and petty grievances. A barrage of charges betrays incapacity to identify what is legally relevant. Do not diminish the credibility of your story with unfounded accusations, speculation, and extravagant claims. Trying to turn your experience into a nightmare does not make for a serious story; you are not scripting a horror movie.

3. Do not impair your story’s verifiability by making unprovable claims. Fantasy allegations make your story a fairy tale. Let independent investigators reveal what coming from a party –and as such biased toward her side of the story− sounds preposterous. Turn ‘reality that is stranger than fiction’ into a question that becomes a lead for investigative journalists:

a. Did the judge put his kids on food stamps although he earns a judges’ salary?!
b. Did he have his niece hired by the winning party to have her pay his gambling debts?
c. Does he tell his law clerks that if at the end of their clerkship when they search for a job they want him to write them a glowing letter of recommendation, which can earn them a substantial sign-up bonus from the hiring employer, they have to decide the cases assigned to him and write the decisions, which explains why the style of the decisions signed by him is so oddly different every year after the start of the new clerkship?

1. Also leave out anything on which honest people can reasonably hold different opinions. It falls within the judges’ wide margin of discretion. Your opinion is not entitled to more credibility than the judges’, especially since you are not a lawyer, but rather a biased party, as all parties are.

b. What to include

1. Focus on the judges’ violation of criminal law, which their fellow judges will not want to appear defending, lest they dirty their own image: e.g.,

a. denial of due process and equal protection of the law;
b. conflict of interests;
c. abuse of public office and confidential information for self-enrichment;
d. bribery;
e. bankruptcy fraud, concealment of assets, tax evasion, and money laundering;
f. interception of people’s mail and emails to detect and suppress those critical of judges; disregard of rules of conduct;
g. cronyism;
h. cover-up;
i. ethnic, racial, socio-economic, gender, or religious bias;
j. physical or sexual abuse;
k. arbitrariness; and
l. what offends the common sense of decency and propriety.

1. Provide pieces of information, e.g., names and dates, that can be treated as data: They can be scanned into a database to find the most convincing type of evidence: patterns of abuse by judges and their cronies, formed by their recurrence in the stories separately provided by different people.

2. Let your story sit for a day or two. Come back to it for another phase-two session. You are writing your story to tell it first to journalists; and if it passes muster, they will bring it to the national public. Eventually it will be the basis for your claim for compensation. What you say now binds you later on. Do what it takes to get your story right. It must be accurate, verifiable, and significant.

G. Title, subtitle, and theme of the story

1. After writing your story, you will recognize a theme running through it. Turn it into the title that expresses the nature of your story and its main takeaway.

2. In general, the theme of your story and that of the other witnesses is “judges’ unaccountability and consequent riskless abuse of power”. In particular, emphasize, whether in the title and certainly throughout the story, the judges’ three most outrageous acts. “If the most cannot do it, the lesser need not try.” There follow sample titles that summarize their respective story in a sentence:

How a judge failed to recuse himself
from a case where he approved the foreclosure on an apartment building, the eviction of all the tenants, and
its conversion into an office building by a development company
in which he is a shareholder

How a judge once more
declared another wealthy senior citizen incompetent and
appointed as her guardian a person to whom he regularly entrusts guardianships, who squeezed every penny from her, and
then dumped her onto the state welfare system as an indigent

How a bankruptcy judge allowed the same bankruptcy trustee
to hold yet another unannounced auction
where only one and the same bidder showed up,
bought the debtor’s assets for pennies on the dollar,
flipped the assets, and made a killing…
leaving me as the financial corpse

Bonfire of integrity at the penthouse:
Judges attending a judicial conference
boasted about how they cut corners on the law,
use parties’ information to enrich themselves and their partners, and
have clerks fudge documents; and
were overheard by
the apparently invisible waiters and waitresses serving them,
who reported them to their chief circuit judge; and
although the chief deemed their reports complaints,
she dismissed them
without the waiters and waitresses ever being interviewed as part of any investigation

H. Additional information in links embedded in text and as endnotes

1. It is assumed that you will email your story. Attachments to them are risky because when opened they can release a virus into the recipient’s computer. As a result, some email computers (servers) do not accept for delivery emails with attachments. Do not send them.

2. Instead, turn a reference to a person, event, place, document, etc., into a linking blue keyword, which holds embedded in it a ‘hidden’, not visible, link to a supporting document: Click on the keyword >in the dropdown menu click on the word Hyperlink >in the box type in the hyperlink >click enter. The keyword should turn blue indicating that it has an embedded link.

3. Be reasonable: do not mar your story with dozens of blue words. Use your good judgment to identify the documents whose links should be embedded. If readers need more supporting documents, they can ask you for them. Store the linked documents either on your website, DropBox, Google Plus, Academia, or any other cloud storage facility.

4. If need be, you may provide at the end of your story a “List of links to supporting documents”. Add a brief description of what the corresponding document deals with.

5. Include in the list the documents of the opposing party and the decisions of the judges in your case. Be fair. Let them ‘talk’ too. Be helpful: spare journalists and other readers the need to search for those documents, which should be at your fingertips because you received them and should have read them. Do not give the impression that you are hiding the other side of the story or that you are so self-centered and small-minded that you think your story only has one side: yours.

I. Sign and date your story

1. If your address, telephone number, and email address were not stated at the top of your story, state that information at the end of it. Show that you take responsibility for your story.

2. Moreover, your contact information will facilitate getting in touch with you to ask for any needed clarification or additional information.

3. Provide the date when you submit your story. That information is useful, in general, to order documents chronologically and, in particular, to establish your story’s currency, i.e., its ‘as of date’.

J. Advocates’ reciprocal revision of their stories, checklist, and chapters of story writers to demand collective compensation

1. Before submitting your story, share it with the Advocates of Honest Judiciaries to whom I send my articles –see the To: and cc: boxes of my emails and OL2:1140¶28–. Ask that they provide feedback on it just as you offer to do the same if they share with you their story.

2. A competition for the title of “Protagonist of the Worst Abuse by Judges Ever” or the attitude “My story is more importan that yours cuz it effects more people” does not improve any story. They are egocentric and wasteful of everybody’s effort, goodwill, and time.

3. Cooperate to identify and rephrase, eliminate, or correct what is inaccurate, insignificant, or unverifiable; ambiguous; inconsistent; contradictory; digressive; repetitive; pretentious; self-aggrandizing; defamatory; a poor word choice; trite; in bad taste; foul language, which is impermissible; misspelled; unidiomatic; wrong syntax (word order); ungrammatical; etc.

4. All of you can draw up a “Checklist and Evaluation Form for Stories of Abuse of Power by Judges”. It can be used when composing the proposed Annual Report on Judicial Unaccountability and Abuse of Power in America.

5. Reciprocal revisions will afford you the opportunity to know each other. You and others can form a chapter of Advocates who promote in turn the formation of a national, civic, single issue movement for judicial abuse of power exposure, compensation of victims, and reform.

Request that the Biden Commission on Supreme Court reform hold public meetings & journalists and universities hold citizens hearings where people can tell their story of judges’ abuse of power; http://Judicial-Discipline-Reform.org/OL2/DrRCordero_method_for_writing_your_story.pdf

1. Precede your story with this professional letterhead and introduction (which have 483 words and should give you an idea of the length of your story):

Your name and address,
phone number; email address

The Biden Commission on Supreme Court reform;
Investigative journalists; and
Advocates of Honest Judiciaries

Dear Commissioners, Journalists, and Advocates,

Kindly find below my story of the abuse of power by judges that I have suffered and/or witnessed.

I am sending it to support my request that you hear me and similarly situated abusees at the “public meetings” that the Commission is mandated to hold. You should allow your “meetings” and your report to inform the national public of how justices and judges behave in practice, abusing their power for their gain and convenience because they are unaccountable and their abuse is riskless.

By contrast, if you limit yourself to a mere discussion of the theory of constitutional law on the Supreme Court, you will have allowed yourselves to be manipulated as a pretext for implementing the foregone political decision to “pack the Court”.

I also request that you journalists join forces with journalism, Information Technology, and business academics to expose judicial abuse of power at the unprecedented citizens hearings proposed by Dr. Richard Cordero, Esq.

At those hearings, multidisciplinary panels of journalists and academics can take the testimony of abusees. They can do so life at media stations and university auditoriums across the country as well as via video conference to make it inexpensive and convenient for them and the public to attend. This can launch a MeToo!-like trend of public accountability here and abroad.

It is overdue: In the 233 years since the creation of the Federal Judiciary in 1789, the number of federal judges impeached and removed is only 8! For comparison, the number of federal officers on the bench on September 30, 2020, was 2,341. Federal judges need not fear losing their jobs. In practice, they have turned public power entrusted to them into the power of a State above the state.

The “meetings” and the citizens hearings can expose the nature, extent, and gravity of judges’ abuse. On that factual basis, the reform can be undertaken of not only the Supreme Court, where in the October 2019-September 2020 fiscal year only “73 cases were argued and 69 were disposed of in 53 signed opinions”, but also the lower federal courts, which terminated 1,103,337(page 10) in the year to September 30, 2020.

The citizens hearings can be expanded to take the testimony of victims of state judges, who are just as outrageous in their abuse of power.

The hearings can thus lead to a reform that takes from judges the unaccountability that they have arrogated to themselves and gives back to We the People, the Masters of all public servants, what is our birthright: government by the rule of law where the People exercise their right to hold also their judicial public servants accountable for entrusted power and liable to compensate the victims of their abuse.

Therefore, I request the opportunity to be heard also at the citizens hearings.

A. How commissioners compromised by conflict of interests render necessary unprecedented citizens hearings

1. The formation by President Biden of his Commission to study ways of reforming the Supreme Court was announced on April 9, 2021 (discussed in an article hereabove and also downloadable). The biographical note on each of the 36 commissioners shows that they are former law clerks to judges and justices (herein “judges” includes “justices”, unless the context indicates otherwise), and/or current law professors.

2. As former law clerks, the commissioners are bound by the confidentiality agreements that they signed with the judges in order to be allowed to clerk for them. While clerking, they did whatever the judges asked them to do because that was the only way of obtaining the one thing that mattered to them more than anything else: a glowing letter of recommendation that would determine whether they could get any of the jobs for which they would apply at the end of their clerkship.

3. As current law professors, who are employees or officers of their respective law school, they cannot afford to expose by themselves or through the witness of third parties any illegal or unethical acts or improprieties (hereinafter referred to as abuse of power) committed by judges individually or as a class. Doing so would make the professors and their schools run the risk of becoming the target of judges’ power of retaliation.  Wielded by judges with a life-appointment, it is devastating, for it arises from both a very long memory for holding grudges and their position to judge each other, which allows them to execute their implicit or explicit mutual exoneration agreement.

4. It follows that the commissioners are compromised by a conflict of interests. It prevents them from doing what is indispensable for any study intended to provide the basis for reforming the Supreme Court: the findings of fact of how the justices conduct themselves in the Court and in dealing with lower court judges, as opposed to the theory of constitutional law that describes their job.

5. Consequently, it is all but certain that the commissioners will not hold public hearings to allow the national public to bear witness to the abuse of power by judges that they have suffered or witnessed.

6. The commissioners’ interest in protecting themselves and their law schools justifies the proposal for holding unprecedented citizens hearings.

a. They are supported by the findings and arguments presented in my three-volume study* ^{† ♣} of judges and their judiciaries, the product of professional law research and writing, and strategic thinking. The study is titled and downloadable thus:

B. Salient features of the unprecedented citizens hearings

1. The proposed citizens hearings are unprecedented because they will not be the traditional public hearings held in Congress or by another government entity, such as the Biden Commission.

2. Politicians are the very ones who after recommending, endorsing, nominating, and confirming judicial candidates to judgeships and justiceships, have connivingly protected them as ‘our men and women on the bench’ regardless of their abuse of power. Their sham hearings are pre-determined not to expose judges’ abuse and provoke their retaliation.

a. President Biden and the Democrats in the Senate nominated and confirmed, respectively, Judge Merrick Garland of the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, a former chief judge thereof, to become Attorney General. This fact provides probable cause to belief that they are committed to preventing any exposure of abuse of power by him and his fellow judges that could impair his authority and even lead to his resignation, e.g.:

b. Judge Garland abusively dismissed 100% of complaints filed under the Judicial Conduct and Disability Act of 1980(28 USC §§351-364) by anybody against any judge in his Circuit, as shown by the official statistics of his own Court submitted as a public document to Congress, as required under 28 USC §604(h)(2), in the Annual Report of the Director of the  Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts(§604(a)(3-4)), who is an appointee of the Supreme Court chief justice(§601).

c. Through such systematic dismissal of complaints and abusive abrogation in practice of that Act of Congress, Judge Garland covered up the abuse by his fellow judges complained about. He left complainants without any relief or compensation, and subjected litigants and the rest of the public to the riskless abuse of judges, thus assured of their unaccountability.

d. The chief judges of the other circuits do likewise;  their abuse is condoned by Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr. They grab gain and convenience for themselves risklessly in reliance on their tacit or implicit mutual exoneration agreement.  By so doing, they intentionally inflict injury in fact on the public, for a principle of the law of torts states that “a person is deemed to intend the reasonably expected consequences of their acts and omissions”. They ‘take with notice’ the liability resulting from their conduct…which the class of self-exonerating judges take off their shoulders.

1. The citizens hearings will also be unprecedented because it will not be the media that will tell the national public how judges abuse their power in fact. Instead, it will be citizens who will at the hearings tell the rest of the public how the most powerful officers in our nation have abused their power at the expense of its citizens.

2. To that end, the proposed unprecedented citizens hearings will be:

a. organized by journalists, media outlets, and universities;

b. conducted by panels of journalists and multidisciplinary professors and experts in Information Technology; electronic transfer of money; asset concealment; bribery involving credit and debit cards; tax evasion; off-shore tax heavens; money laundering; banking, securities, and bankruptcy fraud; white collar crimes; breach of the oath of office and the implied contractual covenant and official duty of good faith and “traditional notions of fair dealing and substantial justice”; etc.;

c. held onsite but mostly via video conference so that they do not involve expensive travel and room and board away from home;

d. transmitted to the national public live, through multimedia, and interactively so as to allow the receipt of the public’s feedback in real time; and made available on the citizens hearings website for later viewing and through podcasts;

e. focused on taking the testimony of victims of, and witnesses to, judges’ abuse of power, including current and former court/law clerks;

f. broad enough to expose the abuse committed and/or covered up by judges as well as the Supreme Court justices, whether the latter did so as lower court judges and/or are doing so as justices and circuit justices(28 USC §42) allotted to the several circuits for supervisory purposes;

g. affording the opportunity to advertise the formation of local chapters of abusees to jointly demand compensation from judges and their judiciaries for the abuse that they have committed as principals or enabled as accessories and as complicit supervisors; and

h. so outrage-provoking that the public will demand the formation of, and popular representation in, a grand jury-like commission to investigate, with subpoena, contempt, and indictment power, unaccountable judges and what they have turned into ‘their court system’: the State within a state.

C. Outrageous forms of abuse by judges that the citizens hearings will reveal

1. The stories told by citizens at their hearings will reveal abuse of power of such nature, extent, frequency, and gravity that it can only be the product of coordination among judges for use as their institutionalized modus operandi to run their judiciary as a racketeering enterprise.

2. Some forms of abuse will reveal that judges:

a. run a bankruptcy fraud scheme together with their “cronies”(*>jur:32§2) in the bankruptcy system;

b. according to none other than Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who dare reveal this form of abuse in her “I have a plan for the Federal Judiciary too”, its judges engage in ‘abusive self-enrichment‘ by failing to recuse themselves from cases in which they have a financial interest and resolving the ensuing conflict of interests in their favor to protect and/or increase the value of their interest. Sen. Warren attributes this abuse to judges’ unaccountability;

c. count a case involving a pro se –a person not represented by a lawyer– as one third of a case(>OL2:455§B) thus giving the case one third of the attention, research, and time that they normally give a case. Thereby judges deny pro ses “Equal Justice Under Law”. Nevertheless, they require pro ses to pay 100% of the cost of gathering facts through discovery, such as by deposing witnesses and consulting experts, researching the law, writing a brief,  printing, binding and filing it in court, serving it on the parties, presenting their case in court, etc.;

d. require parties to file case and motion briefs but fail to read most of them, as shown by “the math of abuse”, which entails the breach of the contract for adjudicatory services; fraud; and compensable waste;

e. dump 93% of appeals(>OL2:457§D) out of the circuit courts through orders in forms filled out by their clerks that are “on procedural grounds [mostly the one-fit-all pretext of ‘lack of jurisdiction’], unsigned, unpublished, without comment, and by consolidation;

f. intercept people’s emails and mail to detect and suppress their critics’, thus depriving We the People of our most cherished rights, namely, those guaranteed under the 1^st Amendment to:

“freedom of speech, of the press, the right of the people peaceably to assemble [through the Internet and on social media too], and to petition the Government [of which judges are the third branch] for a redress of grievances [including compensation for abuse]”

g. abuse their congressionally granted self-disciplining authority to ensure their own unaccountability by dismissing 100% of complaints against them and denying 100% of petitions to review their dismissals.

D. Some economic and institutional consequences of the citizens hearings

1. Judges’ abuse has harmed the parties that have appeared and that are currently appearing in their courts. Their abuse provides the basis for those who have appeared before the same judge or in the same court to form local chapters to jointly demand to be compensated by judges and their judiciaries.

2. As things stand now, any suit for such compensation will be dismissed summarily by application of the doctrine of judicial immunity that judges have conjured up in abusive self-interest, while holding accountable and liable priests, doctors, lawyers, politicians, police officers, their institutions, and everybody else.

3. However, the national outrage provoked by the testimony given at the citizens hearings will provide journalists and media outlets a professional and commercial incentive to further investigate judges’ abuse; their findings will exacerbate the outrage. A self-reinforcing cycle will ensue. The issue of compensation will become one at the center of the national debate. Ever more abusees will keep pressing for a resolution favorable to them.

4. The citizens hearings can become an annual event for the People to monitor the performance of the judges, to whom they have entrusted public power;  and for the organizing journalists and universities to publish The Annual Report on on Judicial Unaccountability and Abuse of Power in America(*>jur:126§3).

5. Those hearings can shake public trust in the judiciary so profoundly as to stir up the public to demand and force the resignation of judges and justices, who depend on public trust to have their decisions respected and obeyed. Reliable precedent therefor is the resignation of:

a. Justice Abe Fortas on May 14, 1969, for ‘improprieties’ in taking income from an outside source in addition to its judicial salary and benefiting from relations with former clients;

b. Former Ninth Circuit Chief Judge Alex Kozinski on December 18, 2017, to avoid an investigation of sexual harassment assigned to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals by Chief Justice Roberts under pressure from the MeToo! outrage provoked by the publication by The New York Times and The New Yorker on October 5 and 10, 2017, respectively, of their exposés on Harvey Weinstein’s sexual predation; and

c. Circuit Judge Maryanne Trump Barry, the sister of President Donald Trump, on February 11, 2019, upon learning that she and other family members were being investigated for tax evasion in connection with a scheme to avoid inheritance tax through the use of a complex system of shell companies.

E. Citizens hearings leading to a constitutional convention, thus setting in motion transformative change that results in a new form of government

1. The citizens hearings can be an opportunity for their organizers, witnesses, and the national public to form physical and virtual (on the Internet) groups in the guise of Tea Party local chapters to demand the calling of a constitutional convention.

2. That is the kind of convention that since April 2, 2014, 34 states, constituting the two thirds of states required by the amending provisions of Article V of the Constitution, have petitioned Congress to convene.

3. However, the congressional leaders will never convene it because the convention is all but certain to upset the status quo and diminish the power and privilege that they have accumulated over the 232 years since the adoption of the current Constitution in 1789.

4. The citizens hearings can take on a life of their own: People and local chapters may coalesce into a runaway national civic movement for a new People-government relation. It can transform itself into a constitutional convention that drafts a new constitution…as can a courageous Biden Commission(§A).

5. Outrage and compensation are the forces that can provide the citizens hearings transformative capacity: They can turn the system of justice that went in into one that comes out as a qualitatively and functionally different system of governance. The tandem of those forces was or is lacking in the chaos of the presidential campaign;  the challenges to the electoral results; and the conflict of interests pervading the Biden Commission and predetermining its final report.

6. The citizens hearings can set in motion the transformation of the People/government relation that has been in place for centuries.  They can have transformative capacity because the MeToo!, Black Lives Matter, LBTG, and Asian/Pacific Islander movements, and the protests against police brutality and for socio/economic equality have made the mood of the People ripe for it. That popular mood is expressed in the common self-assertive rallying cry:

Enough is enough!
We won’t take any abuse by anybody anymore.

1. The transformation can consist in a new form of government where the People assert their status as the sovereign source of all political power. As Masters of all their public servants, including their judicial public servants, the People can hold them accountable for the power entrusted to them and liable to compensate the victims of their abuse of it.

F. How you can promote the holding of the citizens hearings

1. This proposal for holding unprecedented citizens hearings is timely. It shows strategic thinking. It can have a practical impact on exposing judges’ abuse of power…but only if it reaches people as opposed to being intercepted on its way to them or if their positive replies to it are intercepted.

2. Hence, it is in your own interest to distribute this article so widely and repeatedly that it has a chance of overwhelming any interception and going viral.

a. Share it with all your friends, relatives, and colleagues.

b. Post it to social media, such as:

Facebook, Youtube, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Instagram, Google plus, Pinterest, Reddit, Snapchat, and Twitter:

Tell your story of judges’ abuse & ask for compensation at unprecedented citizens hearings; the Biden Commission on SCt reform will not let you do it; invite your audience, the People; http://Judicial-Discipline-Reform.org/OL2/DrRCordero_citizens_hearings_outrage_compensation.pdf

c. Organize a presentation on this article followed by a Q&A session by me to you, your colleagues, students, and other guests. It can be held via video conference and, if it is here in New York City, in person.

28.  To assess my capacity to make that presentation you may watch my video and follow it on its slides.

1. To set its terms and scheduling you may get in touch with me using my contact information below.

G. Every meaningful cause needs resources for its advancement; none can be continued, let alone advanced, without money

1. Lip service advances nothing; but it continues to enable the abusers.

31. Put your money where your outrage at abuse and passion for justice are.
