Someone landed on a post I wrote in 2013. Out of curiosity, I read the post titled “Really, I Can Stop Any Time.”

What happened since then? Why am I writing here again?

There is so much corruption in our government. It comes from both sides. Look at Hunter Biden and William Asa Hutchinson the Third. Cocaine, gun charges, other infractions that would land the commoner’s son in jail, but Daddy is a mucky-muck, so the way-ward son not only walks, he gets to continue raking in big bucks with his law license.

My single vote does not count. There is not enough meaningful public disclosure to make an informed decision. I voted for Judge Susan Kaye Weaver in Arkansas and Donald Trump, who appointed Judge Lee P. Rudofsky to a lifetime federal position. (I voted Ben Carson in the 2016 primaries and would have been happy with Rand Paul, but the two candidates split their votes, so neither won.) Now that I’ve seen both judges working firsthand, I wish I could do a do over. (I don’t want to vote for Joe Biden, either, so I will probably “waste” my vote on the Libertarian presidential candidate or Cornel West if he runs as the “People’s Party” candidate in 2024.)

Hopefully my stories get picked up by the A.P., a big paper, or Fox News, like they did when I wrote about Alan Friedenthal (deceased) and Dr. Joseph Keenan.

I can’t imagine ending my blog now. I wrote my first book, “Balls of Crystal and Steel: What it Takes to Play Poker Without Losing Your Assets”. It was as easy as writing a blog post every day for three months. So, you can expect to see my blog spin-off a book or three about our courts.

In the meantime, I don’t plan on quitting, but am reposting the post I wrote when my ex-partner was on a downward spiral into the hell of addiction, and I had to run our business without him and win a lawsuit as a pro se litigant.

My intention is to focus my energy and time on other pursuits.

But your comments were so kind, I am compelled to say a brief thank you.

Also, I received an inquiry about how to complain about an errant commissioner. I wrote a response and then realized it would be easy to add that response here. So here it goes:

     One avenue is to file a complaint letter with the commissioner’s presiding judge. When your complaint is answered inadequately, file a complaint with the CJP.

     You can also file a claim, as you found in the link [the link connects to a Japanese website now]. But judges have absolute immunity over issues where they have jurisdiction and the error was non-administrative. In practice, judges are given immunity for all wrongs they commit, the vast majority of the time.

     My greatest success was trying them in the court of public opinion. Print the facts of your case. WordPress will give you a free website and is easy to use. Be careful to avoid saying anything defamatory. Stick to facts. Not opinions. Label suspicions as thus. Attribute statements. Cite cases or print transcripts. There is an absolute litigation privilege. Anything said in court [that is not sealed] can be reprinted with an indication of who said it and in what proceeding.  For example, you would not write “Commissioner Friedenthal was biased and embroiled against me.” Instead you might write “Commissioner Friedenthal said on the record that he was reading my posts on CourthouseForum.” Then give a date of the hearing and the case number.

     This is not legal advice. This is information I learned while studying journalism at Colorado State University.

     Maybe the most important thing you can do is to meet other victims of court abuse. Choose your friends carefully. Ask to read their court documents. Use discernment.

     It is uplifting when other people know you are speaking the truth. Jesus said “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” (Matthew 18:20) Thank you to my friends who gathered to do His will. God Bless.
