Is the Colorado Chief Justice Going to Jail?

The Colorado Supreme Court Attorney Regulation Counsel and Colorado Commission on Judicial Discipline do not serve to protect the public from corrupt attorneys, magistrates, and judges. Instead they serve to screen these corrupt individuals from the formal complaints of an otherwise defenseless public. Obviously, they seek to hold these individuals to a lower standard than that prescribed by law and to which they would hold the citizenry, they purport to serve, accountable. Corruption continues in Colorado courts every day due to the impunity granted court officials by the aforementioned (non)regulating agencies.

One new line of defense being asserted by citizens in the war against the impunity of court officials are websites such as "knowyourcourts.com". On this site you will find articles exposing the failures of the Attorney Regulation Counsel and Commission on Judicial Discipline. Did you know for example that the Attorney Regulation Counsel failed to investigate eighty-six percent (86%) of the formal complaints that it received in 2006? In addition, "knowyourcourts.com" presents actual court filings of court cases in which corruption by court officials has been asserted by one of the parties. The next time you read comments from individuals condemning websites like "knowyourcourts.com", you will know that the individual is advocating support for corrupt court officials through continued impunity.

Scams, Blogs, and No Videotapes

I was the victim of a REIT scam. It "only" cost me $50,000. I sure wish I had that money now.

Hi: I’m Steve Maloney from Ambridge, Pennsylvania, and I have a blog on Townhall.com. It’s accessible at http://www.camp2008victory.townhall.com. I hope you’ll visit it as I’ve visited your blog or other site. I’m very interested in supporting bloggers from PA and adjoining states. Tell me how I can help you build up the number of visitors to your site. My blog talks about political and social issues, with an emphasis on electing conservative candidates in Pennsylvania and elsewhere. Over the years, I’ve written on political subjects for many publications, including Fortune, Newsweek, and The National Review. I was heavily involved in Diana Lynn Irey’s 2006 campaign against John Murtha. Many people ask me what Diana’s up to these days, and you can check that out at http://www.irey.com. Please visit my blog and leave your comments if you’d like. Here’s the excerpt from today’s column.



If you’re a Democratic candidate statewide or in a district outside Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, how do you get elected? You run on the proposition that you’re in favor of the rights of the unborn, gun owners, and labor unions. You’ll also say regularly that you “support the troops,” although you’ll be vague about how you can do so while denigrating their mission. You’ll talk about the need for fiscal restraint, but that won’t apply to “pork” projects benefiting either your district or that of a political ally. In most cases, you’ll proudly note that you’re a Christian, usually a Roman Catholic (like Congressman Jason Altmire, Senator Bob Casey, and even yours truly). You’ll demonstrate regularly that you’re a big fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers (like Altmire) or the Philadelphia Eagles (like Governor Ed Rendell). When you cast a vote in Congress that your constituents might not like, you’ll remain silent about your reasoning on the subject. You’ll maintain extremely close relations with Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the Party’s liberal leadership, and you’ll vote with them on critical issues. In cases where your vote is not needed, they'll let you cast a vote that establishes your credentials as a “conservative.” You’ll look at your elected office as a lifetime position, and you will do everything necessary to retain it. During your many years in Congress, you'll never do anything to offend John Murtha, who has a long memory. You will have long and relatively happy life. Is this a caricature? No, it's very reliable advice on career planning.
