> VIEW FROM HERE-U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis famously wrote in
> 1913, “If the broad light of day could be let in upon men’s actions, it would
> purify them as the sun disinfects.”

Because the California judiciary permits no sunlight into its perfidy, it has
become the most destructive institution to the lives of Californians. Neither
the governor nor the legislature has the power to suppress any and all inquiry
into their predatory abuses as does the California Supreme Court. Without
transparency, the public remains clueless. Here is some sunlight.  

Judicial Immunity Is a Secular Evil  

On July 5, 2021, my article in CityWatch explained how the court abuses its
immunity for its criminal actions, but the situation is more complex than mere
immunity. The California Supreme Court has an elaborate governmental structure
to protect its criminal behavior and get rid of any dissent. In addition to the
Supreme Court’s Chief Justice Tani Gorre Cantil-Sakauye’s (photo above) control
over all cases within the state court system, she also dominates the two
associated institutions which were allegedly designed to protect the public,
both of which have been perverted into vicious predators, (1) The Commission of
Judicial Performance (CJP), and (2) The State Bar.  

Chief Justice Tani Gorre Cantil-Sakauye chairs the Commission on Judicial
Performance. In other words, the person who presides over the unethical and
criminal behavior of judges is the same person who chairs the organization which
will discipline the judges. Could there be any more corrupt arrangement than to
place the Criminal in Chief in charge? The record shows that this system has
been a complete failure to protect the public.  

The CJP has a unique procedure in which any complaint against a judge first is
screened by three judges who may, in complete secrecy, exclude any evidence
which is harmful to the judge against whom the complaint is made. Suppose all
complaints made against police officers were first screened by three fellow
officers who would cleanse the record before the case went to Police
Commission?    

Since Chief Justice Tani Gorre Cantil-Sakauye has the power to promote or deny
the promotion of any judge within the California judiciary, each judge has to
curry her favor. If by some bizarre circumstance, the CJP should find the
behavior of some judge meriting discipline, that judge can appeal to the Supreme
Court to have his/her discipline voided.   

“No court, except the Supreme Court, shall have jurisdiction in a civil action
or other legal proceeding of any sort brought against the commission by a
judge.” Cal Const. Art VI, Sec 18(g) In other words, if the CJP should act
vindictively and without cause against an honest judge and that judge should
bring a lawsuit against it can only be heard by the Chief Justice who also heads
the organization against which the civil action is brought. That is no different
than a rule that only Vladimir Putin can hear any legal challenge brought by
Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny. California judges have three choices:
(1) actively participate in the criminality, (2) become an accomplice by silence
or (3) get out.  

Chief Justice Tani Gorre Cantil-Sakauye Controls the State Bar  

While the California State Bar Association which disciplines attorneys for
misconduct claims to be “the only state bar in the nation with independent
professional judges dedicated to ruling on attorney discipline cases” (State Bar
website), the statement is false. The ultimate authority rests with Chief
Justice Tani Gorre Cantil-Sakauye’s Supreme Court. If the State Bar should
foolishly rule against one of the Chief Justice’s buddies, it will be set aside.
If the State Bar rules against an innocent attorney, whom the Chief Justice
dislikes, the State Bar will be affirmed. 

The Judiciary’s Process to Get Rid of Attorneys Who Complain about Judicial
Corruption  

Step One - Frame the Attorney  

The trial court manufactures evidence against the attorney. Chief Justice Tani
Gorre Cantil-Sakauye’s interpretation of Cal Const art VI sec 10 allows judges
to exclude attorneys from hearings, allows judges to manufacture evidence and
alter testimony. This tactic is similar to what Putin used against Alexei
Navalny. Putin had the authorities manufacturer false evidence and then use
those false charges to incarcerate Navalny.  

Step Two - Impose Huge Monetary Penalty  

The trial court orders monetary sanctions against the attorney. When the
attorney cannot pay the money, the State Bar brings charges.  

Step Three - Prevent Exculpating Evidence  

The attorney may not introduce evidence of his/her innocence due to another case
which the Chief Justice supports, In re Joseph Collins. That case prevents the
attorney from showing that the case on which his disciplined is based is wrong.
It does not matter whether the underlying case was in violation of state or even
federal due process or based on evidence which the court had manufactured or on
perjury. Under the Collins case, the attorney may not introduce the exculpating
evidence.   

Step Four - Jail the Attorney  

Even in Russia, however, Alexei Navalny was allowed to introduce evidence. That,
however, did not deter the Russian courts which were under Putin’s control.
Barring evidence is such an offense against international law that even Putin
had to allow Navalny plead his case before jailing him. Under the Collins case,
the attorney may not even present evidence of innocence before being disbarred,
fined, and then jailed under the concept of coercive confinement as happened to
attorney Richard I Fine.  

Power Corrupt, but Corruption Destroys 

The structure of the California judicial system where the same person dominates
the courts, the Commission on Judicial Performance and the State Bar is designed
to turn the judiciary into a criminal enterprise. All it takes is a few ruthless
psychopaths to gain key positions. Attorneys turn cowards selling out their
clients as has become standard practice in Probate Conservatorship Court with
Britney Spears being the most famous current example. Back in January 2015, the
federal courts pointed out the corruption in the California state courts.  

Matters have become worst since 2015. Judge Kozinski was subsequently booted
from the court and the predatory abuse in state courts has grown. We are
subjected to a degree of bipartisan criminality beyond our imagination. That is
what protects the judicial perps most of all – our inability to realize that the
corruption is systemic and how it is destroying our society.
