We can never find justice at the hands of corrupt judges. (See YouTube videos) Judge to Judge on Illegal Payments to Judges / Evil Triangle of Court Corruption / Richard Fine / Dr Shirley Moore slush funds /SBX 211. To end this title wave of corruption in our country must start with the corrupt judges. We can not bring evidence of corruption to corrupt judges. Los Angeles Superior Court judges are illegally and unconstitutionally taking 50,000.00 each for a total of 23 million per year.

Over time, every time they "sculpt" the law they get further & further from the original meaning.

He likes a judge that sculpts the law? What if he had nazi style values, would it be ok if he sculpts the law? Its the Legislatures job to sculpt the law to the ppls liking, & its the Sup Courts job to measure those laws against the Constitution & its principles. The Constitution was founded on good proven governmental principles, & formulated to prevent the failings & evils of govt & MAN, not enough ppl know & respect that, so they want activist judges. RISE TO THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF FREEDOM!
