CJA's Lawsuit vs New York's Highest Constitutional Officers
to Stop the Judicial Pay Raises -- & Secure Judicial Accountability
 

"1.  This is an action against the constitutional officers of the three branches of New York State government for fraud and constitutional violations against the People of the State.  It is based on their willful and deliberate failure to discharge their checks-and-balances function so as to ensure the integrity of the State judiciary and with it the processes of judicial selection and discipline – culminating in their collusion against the People to corruptly raise judicial salaries, motivated by a scheme to also raise legislative and executive salaries. It seeks a declaratory judgment as to the unconstitutionality of Chapter 567 of the Laws of 2010, as written and as applied, pertaining to judicial compensation and as to the statutory violations with respect thereto.  Additionally, it seeks compensatory and punitive damages for defendants’ constitutional and statutory violations and fraud upon the People of the State."

OF FEDERAL JUDICIAL DISCIPLINE

"The thousands of judicial misconduct complaints filed under the Act by ordinary citizens -- virtually 100% dismissed by chief circuit judges, without appointment of special committees to investigate -- are the best evidence of how the federal judiciary has corrupted federal judicial discipline.  This is why the federal judiciary, to impede oversight by Congress and the American Public, made them confidential.  It is also why the Breyer Committee fashioned a 'study' where citizens would not be interviewed or have the opportunity to testify about their complaints."  CJA's March 6, 2008 Critique of the Breyer Committee Report, Conclusion, at p. 73
