Commission On Judicial Performance Files Suit Claiming They Are Above the Law- Is CJP Immune from Sunshine Laws and The First Amendment?

Commission on Judicial Performance Director Victoria B. Henley

NEWSFLASH: Desperate CJP Files Lawsuit to Duck State Audit !

Ironically, a Court will get to decide if the Commission on Judicial Performance is immune from California's Sunshine Laws and First Amendment rights as the CJP fights access of the State Auditor who seeks to reveal if the CJP has been protecting California's from bad judges.

For decades people trapped in divorces have complained about unfair judges who cost them custody, property or support, based on sheer bias and abuse of discretion imposed by a single family court judge. . Many have suffered at the hand of bad judges abusing their power.

While thousands of people have complained to state watchdog agencies, such as the Commission on Judicial Performance, and the State Bar, for family law litigants, nobody was answering the phone.

In addition to the assured immunity (that all judges have), family law judges appear to have enjoyed additional protection by being completely "off radar" from the taxpayer funded watchdog agencies that ostensibly assure citizens receive fair and equitable divorces.

At the State Bar only one of the trial counsel lawyers comes with a family law background and at the Commission on Judicial Performance, the numbers are more dismal; Jane and John Q research could not find one member of the Commission with significant family law experience. It is a virtual certainty that most of the complaints to CJP arise from individuals involved in divorce cases,

It is perhaps that fact that prompted the State Legislator to order the State Auditor to audit the CJP, just as she had the State Bar in 2015.

Divorce litigants up and down the state celebrated the victory of the audit after the extraordinary efforts from groups like the Center for Judicial Excellence and Court Reform LLC. in getting done what no politician or activist had done before .

And while Victoria Henley, head hench woman at the CJP said she welcomed the audit, she clearly had something else in mind after her public conciliatory statement.

On October 20, 2016 , CJP showed the world they still don't want to play fair and want to play by their rules, not state of federal law. The Commission filed a lawsuit that seeks to significantly restrain and limit the audit, and would render it virtually useless.

Not so fast say judicial reform supporters . Social media and the modern hacktivists channels are now kicked into high gear and the little guys, the pro pers , plan a nuclear like response..

1. The CJP doesn't have the money to pay for the audit, but can hire a high powered attorney who is the brother of the DA in San Mateo County. And if they don't have the money, what exactly are they doing with it?

2. The CJP is seeking an injunction from the State from auditing them. How can they argue that an audit is unconstitutional because a judges admonishment is confidential? (a) A judge is an employee of the state, and thus subject (as any employee or agency of the state) to audits and regulation.

3. It is absurd that the CJP should state that making private admonishments public should jeopardize confidence in the Courts. What should jeopardize confidence in the courts is the CJP's inaction in removing incompetent or corrupt judges from the bench.

4. We must remember that another judge will be hearing this case. It will be interesting to find out which one.

Huge conflict of interest for judge under CJP disciplinary control to hear this case. Huge. State Auditor: State Bar failed to discipline attorney who committed fraud upon the court and extortion in 192Fl027294, judge failed to report this conduct to state bar; violation of canon 3D, CJP failed to discipline this judge after presiding judge sent my complaint to the attn. general. BIG COVERUP

recommend 'Judicial Disciplinary Hearings Should Be Open' by Robert H. Tembeckjian online, pub.The Justice System Journal Vol. 28, No. 3 (2007), sending copy to state auditor.
'Unwarranted complaints by disgruntled litigants'-is that how they think of us?

The proper venue for this is Federal Court where there are no conflicts of interest.

I concur; conflict of interest, its like asking son to judge parent, you just don't dare cross the parent.

The CJP and judges on the bench don't want to be beholden to the taxpayers.

They want absolute rule!

What an outrage.

Alarming Report calls on Federal Government to Investigate Serious Abuses in Divorce and Family Courts

3/13/2017 06:11:02 pm

It’s reached epidemic proportions: a federal funding program rewarding state judges by the number and size of support orders manufactured in our nation’s divorce and family courts. It has escalated to a point where moms and dads have been forced to name a superior “custodial parent” even when they are self-sufficient, cooperative and opposed to “custody wars” in these courts.

Known as Title IV-D of the Social Security Act (Child Support Standards Act), billions of dollars in performance based funding is awarded to the states each year, effectively federalizing domestic relations, incentivizing lucrative conflict, injecting financial bias among judges in favor of the state against its own citizens and creating a gold mine for lawyers, politicians and bureaucrats.

It is a well concealed epidemic protected by bar associations and special interests which has led to costly social problems, from an over medicated society to a nation with the most imprisoned population in the free world. This report explains how it has all occurred through extensive research and how our new administration can “drain the judicial swamp” in these courts.

After 23 years as a successful civil rights attorney, and another ten years advocating for reform, I completed this report not as an indictment of my profession, although my adversaries like to defame it that way, but only as it fails a moral obligation to reign in vast injuries inflicted upon innocent children and parents duped into believing this is a legitimate system of justice.

In this area of practice, Title IV-D has ushered in what I call “fictional justice.” It has turned these family tribunals, once labeled “kangaroo courts” by a Supreme Court Justice, into profit centers with an ever-diminishing concern for the true “best interests” of our children. Entire college funds have been drained by unscrupulous lawyers concocting needless issues for fee purposes.

Over the past two weeks I have been in Manhattan promoting this report for funding and government action. Copies have been submitted through various reliable contacts to top officials of the Trump Administration. It is also being submitted to a congressional oversight panel to supplement one reviewed in 2016 during the prior administration. It is highly valuable as an expert resource for court proceedings, public hearings and amicus briefs to support any Supreme Court writ on the subject of family rights against the states.

This is a trillion dollar industry which parents must join to fight for the sake of our children and future generations. Unfortunately, the victims continue to be fractured, surfing the net for incompetent free things, crying about ordeals for therapy to no one who cares, and engaging in delusional reforms from the comfort of their home keyboards. It’s no wonder the carnage is escalating.

If you would like a copy of this report, kindly make a financial contribution to our cause on this site. I am also looking for serious minded parent advocates to deliver copies to their local representatives in Congress so that a federal investigation can finally be launched.

I have been inundated with individual war stories over the years without compensation on the assumption that I am directing some kind of free legal aid society. We are about long overdue reform and welcome those who have something meaningful to offer, i.e. an investor, valuable service or D.C. rally.

I just have my story and you can use it for free. Probate, also not for sissies. The lengths lawyers/judges go to muck up your life once you figure out the racket is truly Herculean.

California is a refuge for crooks who make a living in court.
