Shut it Down!!!

This is a post about justice, not politics.

It is important to note the distinction, because I try to avoid inflicting my own political beliefs upon anyone who visits this site.

This is a post about a direct attack upon personal liberty by the Luzerne County Courts. It is an unfolding tale of greed, unparalleled corruption and the willful violation of the civil rights of American citizens for personal gain by a dysfunctional and dangerous court.

I am not overstating anything here. This story is news worldwide. You can read about this in Taiwan, Australia and Great Britain. It is a story that Hank Grezlak, Editor-in-Chief of The Legal Intelligencer, has been told by lawyers is "...the worst thing they've ever heard regarding a judge."

American citizens, juveniles from Luzerne County, were allegedly put in a detention center for money. To line the pockets of a judge. It is also alleged this happened in many cases without legal representation for these juveniles. It is also alleged juveniles were incarcerated against the recommendations of the Parole Board.

Beyond these horrors, there are rumors of alleged case-fixing being investigated in Luzerne County.

When a court becomes so dangerous that it willfully violates the constitutional rights of United States's citizens for a judge's personal gain, that court must be shut down. It is a cancer. It is a threat to the liberty of every citizen who must appear before it for trial and judgment.

I recognize that there are likely some good judges and staff in the Luzerne County Courthouse. I recognize that shutting down the Courthouse is a radical solution. So was the American Revolution, which removed the cancer of taxation without representation.

The greater good, the faith of citizens in their courts, cries out...no, demands ...that this cancer be removed. On the altar of Democracy, our freedom cannot be sacrificed. It is non-negotiable. Any cancer which threatens our freedom must be excised with all haste before it spreads further.

If you value your freedom, a freedom paid for through the sacrifices of countless Americans since the birth of our nation, a freedom which apparently has a price tag in Luzerne County, contact the Pennsylvania Supreme Court and tell them freedom is non-negotiable. Tell them to eradicate the cancer in the Luzerne County Courts. Call the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office and make your voice heard. Contact your elected representatives, all the way to the White House if necessary. Give them all the same message:

Shut down the Luzerne County Courts.
