Michigan Judges - Removal From Office

[freemannabis]

As the judge in the Oakland Robberies of Michigan / America's Medical Marihuana patients full-well knows, Michigan State's Judicial Officers can, SHALL and MUST be REMOVED from "The Bench" for showing a painfully hateful, highly Un-CONSTITUTIONALLY UNLAWFUL ACT of Personal Opinion "rendered," or otherwise made, observed or stated, while serving on "On The Bench," otherwise known as "JUDICIAL BIAS".

 

I've got to head out for the day ...but, as soon as I am able, I will post a link to the MCL's in that regard.

 

In the meantime, here's something to consider:

FREE The CURE!

[+Jennifer8]

The only way to make life easier doing that is to keep everyone involved, meaning the particular judge or judges AND in the Judicial Tenure Commission, in the public eye. The deck is stacked AGAINST everyone with the politics of who the Judicial Tenure Commission has in their "Commission". It does not, however, mean it is impossible. This is a highly POLITICAL commission. THEY HATE BAD PUBLICITY!!

 

Keeping everyone in the spotlight, their names, their moves, their actions or lack of action when would be warranted will help, cause pressure, bring cover ups to the light.

 

It is really hard to get a judge off of the bench. He or she pretty much has to stand up on their desk and start shooting people butt naked. District court judges might be easier, but circuit court judges can be a little bit more tricky. However, NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE. All it really takes is letting choice people know their every move is under the public eye.

If these people are not doing their jobs, keep making their names public with detail.

This is at the website for the Judicial Tenure Commission.

Commission Organization and Staff

THESE PEOPLE HATE BAD PUBLICITY!!

 

If judges are NOT doing their jobs CORRECTLY, everyone MUST bring it to the attention of this group of people getting paid to keep courthouses and judges in check.

 

The Commission has 6 staff positions, including 4 attorneys and 2 support staff. The legal staff is comprised of Paul J. Fischer, Executive Director; Anna Marie Noeske, Staff Attorney; Casimir J. Swastek, Staff Attorney; and Glenn J. Page, Staff Attorney.*

 

The support staff is comprised of Camella Thompson, Senior Administrative Assistant, and Celeste Robinson, Secretary. All Commission staff are state employees.

 

The Executive Director and General Counsel is hired by, and reports directly to, the Commission. The Executive Director oversees the intake and investigation of complaints and is the examiner handling the formal proceedings. The Executive Director is also the primary liaison between the Commission and the judiciary, the public, and the media.

 

The Commission’s three staff attorneys are responsible for the evaluation and investigation of grievances. The staff attorneys serve as associate-examiners during formal proceedings. The examiner, with the assistance of the staff attorneys, is responsible for preparing cases for hearing and presenting the evidence that supports the charges before the master. They also prepare legal briefs addressing master’s reports, and present cases orally and in writing in hearings before the Commission and the Michigan Supreme Court.

 

Paul J. Fischer has been Executive Director and General Counsel since January 2001. Prior to joining the Commission in that capacity, he was an assistant Oakland County Prosecutor before serving as a Commission staff attorney. In addition, Mr. Fischer practiced commercial litigation and family law in private practice. Mr. Fischer has been a member of the State Bar of Michigan since 1983.

 

Staff Attorney Anna Marie Noeske has been employed by the Commission since January 1989. Before then, she worked for UAW Legal Services, primarily in the areas of real estate, probate, and consumer litigation. Ms Noeske has been a member of the State Bar of Michigan since 1982.

 

Staff Attorney Cas Swastek joined the Commission in August 1997. Before that date, he worked in private practice focusing on commercial litigation and the defense of legal and accounting malpractice claims. Mr. Swastek has been a member of the State Bar of Michigan since 1989.

 

Staff Attorney Glenn Page joined the Commission in November 2009. Before that date, he worked for 27 years as an assistant prosecutor in the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office. Mr. Page has been a member of the State Bar of Michigan since 1981.

 

 

*Senior Staff Attorney Thomas L. Prowse retired on September 30, 2009, after 35 years of service to the Commission.

(I don't know what that little asterisk means next to this "retired" attorney's name because I couldn't find the reference for it on the same web page.)

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

 

Another way to do this is to always bring ANYTHING to the attention, always, to these people:

State Court Administrative Office

http://www.courts.michigan.gov/scao/

 

If judges are NOT doing their jobs CORRECTLY, everyone MUST bring it to the attention of this group of people getting paid to keep courthouses and judges in check. You MUST send information about judges, court staff, and court recorders and stenographers to these people and if the State Court Admin Office is not doing anything about it, publicly make THEIR names known. It's all about politics and bad politics being brought to the light and public attention. THESE PEOPLE HATE BAD PUBLICITY!!

 

What SCAO Does

SCAO is charged with helping Michigan trial courts operate effectively so that they can serve the public. SCAO's activities include:

 

* Collecting data on courts' caseloads, including the types of cases each court hears and how long it takes the court to resolve cases;

* Mediating disputes between courts and their funding units or other government officials and agencies;

* Providing technological assistance, including computer hardware, software, and training;

* Assessing whether individual courts need more or fewer judges and sharing that information with the Legislature;

* Providing continuing education, including publications, for judges and court staff in a wide variety of areas;

* Educating the public about the judicial branch;

* Assigning judges and retired judges to fill in temporarily for an absent judge;

* Issuing statewide policy for court operations, such as case reporting requirements and time guidelines for deciding cases;

* Helping courts improve collection of court-imposed fines, fees, and costs, much of which goes into state funds and to local governments;

* Assisting friend of the court offices with training and technical support;

* Offering legislative changes to improve the administration of justice, and reacting to legislation that would affect the courts;

* Overseeing courts’ involvement in various child welfare issues, and offering ways to improve courts’ handling of cases involving children who are or may become court wards;

* Providing training and other support for local community dispute resolution centers throughout Michigan.

 

What SCAO Does Not Do

 

* SCAO cannot change the result of an individual case. SCAO cannot change a judge’s decision. Only an appellate court can do that.

* SCAO cannot order a judge, referee, or magistrate to rule a certain way.

* SCAO cannot change a court order regarding child support, parenting time, or child custody.

* SCAO is not a child welfare placement or direct service agency. SCAO cannot assist with adoptions or foster care placements.

* SCAO cannot give legal advice. If you need an attorney, contact the State Bar of Michigan at (800) 968-1442 or visit the State Bar’s website at www.michbar.org.

* SCAO does not license attorneys or handle grievances against attorneys. The State Bar of Michigan (800-968-1442) can tell you if an attorney is licensed to practice law. If you believe that an attorney has acted unethically, contact the Attorney Grievance Commission at (313) 961-6585 or visit the Commission’s website at http://www.agcmi.com.

* SCAO cannot remove a judge from office. Voters can; they have the power to not re-elect a judge. The Michigan Supreme Court can remove a judge from office, but only after a Judicial Tenure Commission proceeding. If a judge is found to have committed serious misconduct, the Michigan Supreme Court may then decide to remove that judge from office. If you believe that a judge has acted unethically, contact the Judicial Tenure Commission at (313) 875-5110 or visit the Tenure Commission’s website at http://jtc.courts.mi.gov.

* SCAO does not handle bankruptcies or have information about how to declare bankruptcy. The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Michigan (http://www.mieb.uscourts.gov) may be reached at (313) 234-0068. The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Michigan (http://www.miwb.uscourts.gov) may be reached at (616) 456-2693 or (906) 226-2117.

I would suggest strongly that if there is ever a correspondence sent to ANY one of these organizations, to make sure each letter shows at the bottom left corner that you have sent that SAME LETTER to each of the OTHER organizations as well as a particular judge, and then do just that. Everyone gets copies of letters sent to everyone involved, and include the media, TOO!

 

Every time a letter is sent, the media, the judge, the court it is involved with, the administrative department, the Judicial Tenure Commission, and the State Court Administrative Office all get copies so that EVERYONE KNOWS EVERYBODY IS BEING WATCHED. This will let people know that sweeping crap under the carpet will not be tolerated and if people in these organizations and jobs are not doing THEIR jobs, that will be made public too and some people could be fired or released as a result of it.

 

Nobody wants to loose their cushy jobs so something will have to be done about it. A SQUEAKY WHEEL GETS OILED!! These people get paid GOOD MONEY and have GREAT BENEFITS THEY DO NOT WANT TO LOSE. Plus, if they get viewed as incompetent, dishonest, corrupt, etc, it will be a career killer.
