WELCOME TO HAVEN OF DIVINE LOVE

            In a unprecedented move, the Florida Judicial Commission ruled that their investigative panel of the Commission had determined that complaints lodged against three Florida Judges for judicial misconduct, judicial deception, intentional violations of due process of law, dishonesty, unethical behavior, deliberate acts of retaliation, and the overall conspiracy and collusion between the Judges were not a breach of the Florida’s Code of Judicial Conduct but were matters for review through normal court process. In a letter by attorney Alexander J. Williams, the Assistant General Counsel of the Commission, sent to a California the civil rights organization, who filed the complaints, stated that “The Investigative Panel of the Commission completed its review of your complaint in the above matter and has determined, at its most recent meeting, that the concerns you have expressed are not allegations involving a breach of the Code of Judicial Conduct warranting further action by the Commission, but are matters for review through the normal court process.”         “Not so,” says John Wells, President of Extend a Hand For Justice, the Bakersfield California advocacy group, “it’s a clear cut case of the ‘Fox Guarding the Chicken Coop.’ If a reviewing Judicial Commission condones the acts as alleged, without a proper investigation, Judges are systematically immune from improper behavior.” The actions didn’t go over very well with other Civil Right Organizations when they heard the news. “What? Said Jason Phelps, a member of Oakland California Citizens for Check and Balance, “That kind of ruling contradicts logic. A ruling such as that could only be for a party to a specific litigation, not a separate outside party. Had the complainant, Extend a Hand For Justice, been a party in a legal court action, and received an adverse ruling by a judge that involved Judicial Misconduct, then their recourse would be to appeal said adverse decision or ruling in an Appellate Court. “It doesn’t really matter who the litigants are or what case it is,” said Wells, “as an outside party who observed the activities, we have sufficient documentation and evidence to corroborate our claims.”
