It’s Called Judicial Tyranny; and no one’s doing anything about it

Palm Beach Country, Florida

Numerous Attorneys litigating foreclosure cases in the various Courtrooms of Palm Beach Country, Florida are shaking their heads in disbelief as Judges are literally ignoring State Statutes, ignoring civil rules of procedure and ignoring the legally supported pleas from Attorneys, trying to obtain some level of justice from the Clients. Due to their high number of foreclosures cases, the 15th Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County is one of a number of Circuit Courts in Florida, to launch what has become known in the foreclosure world as the “Rocket Docket”.

Of course, they’re not calling it a rocket docket this time around, because a few years ago when this was occurring, the ACLU and others got involved and challenged the constitutionality of adjudicating court cases through the system with limited or no due process.

However, through an Administrative Order No. 3.312-3/13, the 15th Circuit is again roaring ahead. Palm Beach County is actually behind Miami-Dade County who has months earlier instituted such policies as setting aside one minute for uncontested cases and an “entire” five minutes for contested cases.

Once again the Judges are blatantly ruling without due process and most often in favor of the Banks, “of course”, despite the known malfeasants and corruption within the bank origination, underwriting, servicing and sales of securities that brought our nation to its knees, forcing millions into foreclosure and often time’s bankruptcy. It was literally the largest premeditated “Pump and Dump” of insured securities in world history and many American Citizens have lost their entire life’s saving and are potentially saddled with debt that will take decades to pay back, as the recession continues. Judges and even attorneys are acting like nothing is wrong, thinking that those people most affected by the injustice will easily adjust as the economy recovers and the real estate market starts appreciating again. What many of them don’t know, is that this is not what is likely to happen, at least in any significant way. They’re Judges and Attorneys, not economists and the main stream media, as always, is turning a blind’s eye to what lies ahead, and therefore does not afford them the necessary macro-economic information to make rational decisions, that are affecting the judicial participants.

Now here’s the real problem; it should not be up to the Judges or Attorneys to control the outcome of cases. They take an Oath under 28 USC § 453 to “administer” justice not determine it. They are supposed to be helping Citizens acquire Justice by managing the courtroom and interpreting the law for all participants. They are literally determining the future of millions of people and no one person, even our high and mighty Judges have either the foresight or competency to do this.

Judges are overheard saying such things as, “we’re told to get them off our docket” and “let them appeal”. Of course, the Appeals Court is most often times protecting the lower Court’s decision thereby deliberately and maliciously thwarting justice and the rule of law. Judges are blatantly in open Court, saying such things as; “I’m not giving you a free house” to Defendants, which is not even supposed to be their job. The duty of Judges are supposed to be as mediators, not the arbiter, that is supposed to be left to Juries. The job of Judges is supposed to help the participants properly understand and interpret the laws as it pertains to their cases, period.

Many Defendants, still cash poor due to the continuing poor jobs market, struggle to find the necessary money to hire competent Attorneys, as a hoard of them, many barely competent, enter the blossoming foreclosure arena. Couple incompetency, with new and many unnavigated legal issues and now rocket dockets around the State, a huge socio-economic block of Citizens are once again being fleeced, so that the cotton plantations and their bankers and brokers can maintain their wealth when they should be losing their plantations.

If it had not been premeditated by the Central Bankers and prognosticated by hoards of folks well in advance, the rule of law and justice might be easily served. However that is not the case as many knew, including myself, a mortgage broker and appraiser, what was going on and all the policies and knowledge of fraud, known for decades and coming from the top down. The Rating Agencies and Securities Dealers knew they were selling highly suspect securities, and if they didn’t, they should have. The Central Bankers knew they had diminished underwriting standards, not just as the main stream media said “subprime” blaming it on the poor folk, but no-income, no-asset statements on “Jumbos, loans exceeding $500,000. Another boom and bust cycle devised by the ruling oligarchy, to continue to steal the wealth of our nation; Mayer Amschel Rothschild would have been pleased.

The lack of Due Process is now so blatant that the Attorneys are now telling their clients the truth, that it doesn’t matter what the law says, you’re going to eventually lose, so you might as well try to negotiate a settlement, if that is even possible and often times it is not under current economic conditions. What happens, like many prominent economists are predicting, if we go through another crash like in 2008 and economic conditions even get worse?

What is going on in the Justice system is flat out wrong, everyone knows it and the primary participants, both the Judges and Attorneys, who have the sworn duty to both administer justice and uphold the Constitution, acting it what appears out of fear, another article for another day, are doing nothing to solve this problem, when they have the greatest competency to do so. If you ask any honest Attorney, they will tell you that this is just a tip of the iceberg.
