Today, lawyers claim the RIGHT to be appointed to judicial positions, both federal and state, but some complain the process takes too long and most lose interest in a judicial appointment. When was the last time a judge was elected by the people in your state? Why do judges, by judicial fiat, write most of the laws? Why is the lawyering business a closed, unchallenged and illegal monopoly? Why does the judicial branch control the legislature and executive branch of government? By judicial fiat, judge-made case law has become the supreme law of the law in direct contradiction to the U.S. Constitution. According to powerful lawyers, the Constitution is nothing more than an interesting bunch of suggestions. Overpaid lawyers pervert the law and justice and demand huge fees for scant representation. Because paid lawyers belittle and ridicule non-lawyers, the right to self-representation is in peril and nonexistent in some states. Compare today with the early colonies. Any man that findeth himself unfit to plead his own cause in any Court, shall have the liberty to employ any man against whom the Court doth not except, to help him provided he give him no fee or reward for his pains. This shall not except the party himself from answering such questions in person as the Court shall think meet to demand of him. The Massachusetts Body of Liberties #26 (1641) When the constitution was written, the framers believed that government must be limited, and derive its power only from the consent of the governed. The fear of the framers was that usurpation by one of the branches would upset the balance of power and result in the destruction of the republic. The constitutional doctrine of the separation of powers is the cornerstone of American democracy. Unlike the British system, the framers of the U.S. Constitution designed a government consisting of three coequal branches that serve as a check and balance on one another. These three branches - executive, legislative and judicial - are bound by the limits imposed on each by the Constitution. Early in the history of our republic, the U.S. Supreme Court began to usurp the Separation of Powers Doctrine by interpreting laws through the doctrine of "judicial review," i.e., the power to decide whether or not a law is constitutional. Today the (9) nine men and women on the U. S. Supreme Court are the sole interpreters of what the Constitution means. Oppressive conditions in the colonies, in 1776, lead the people to declare a state of war against the King of England. The Declaration of Independence details the oppression visited upon the colonies, such as no right to vote, no representation by the people or forced representation by the King's appointee. The "King Can Do No Wrong!" maxim evolved from the concept that Kings and their counterpart "judges" believe they are infallible. The "King Can Do No Wrong!" maxim translates into American Courts as an oppressive and prejudicial lawyering monopoly. Judges as "Judicial activists" perpetuate a court system infinitely more tyrannical and oppressive that the King of England in 1776. Judicial decisions are replete with references to the old common law of England - the same law that caused the American Revolution. Lawyers claim to exist in America from the birth of our nation. The truth is, there were very few paid lawyers. Most early lawyers were sympathetic to the King and left for England when the Revolutionary War broke out. Lawyers' modern day title, "Esquire," originally meant "land owner." Esquires, the King's lawyers, sometimes called "Tories," received land from the King in exchange for loyalty. The connection is obvious. Greedy land owners, loyal to the King, exerted enormous influence and power in the colonies and gradually took over the powerful lawyering business. The takeover is a continuing process spanning the last two hundred years and continues unabated today. See the Lying Lawyer's Immunity Law. Before the King's lawyers gradually took over, in America, anyone capable of reading the law, such as Abraham Lincoln, practiced law and represented the citizens of his community. Lincoln did not have a law degree, nor did he attend law school. Today, the judicial activists have eliminated those citizens that would represent themselves and created a closed monopoly that only the very elite may join. Both outright and clandestine campaigns against non-lawyers created the lawyering monopoly. The lawyers' monopoly promotes exorbitant, unreasonable legal fees and the total dependence upon lawyers' unethical actions. History neither supports nor mentions that the people wanted or asked for the present lawyering monopoly. The lawyering monopoly, in some state legislatures, seeing an increasing number of lawsuits against lawyers for malpractice, are writing for themselves a "Lawyering Immunity Act." The immunity law protects unethical lawyers and severely hinders or eliminates the average citizen's ability to sue a bad lawyer. The sole "cause of action" against a lawyer for any unethical act perpetrated upon an unsuspecting client, is the "Lawyering Immunity Act." Lawyers, truly interested in preserving democracy, must reestablish the people's right to vote on judges. I want to encourage all Godly and moral members of the judicial branch of government (lawyers) to turn the government back to the people. Stop looking for appointments and let the people vote. Lawyers must get out of the legislature so that we may again enjoy a government, "Of the People, By the People and For the People," as our forefathers established in the beginning. The lawyering monopoly's idea of the balance of power, that our forefathers believed in, serves to balance the scale in lawyer's favor today. Lawyers in the legislature usurp the Separation of Powers Doctrine. I call upon all members of the judicial branch of government (lawyers) to stop destroying the system of government our Christian forefathers fought and died to establish.
