Dear Keith in Koln: I lived in Charlotte for over two decades. My
father, in his childhood, lived in Tarpon Springs. One of my most
frightening times was driving over the Tampa Bay bridge. The
"starting point" for me in rewriting the constitution was to correct
the rampant injustices in our courts, and to allay our (You have to
experience it to know it.) police state. As happened with O. J., the
police target who they want to convict whether they are guilty or
not. The police are especially unfair to Blacks. I make it a felony
for any prosecutor to be overly zealous to convict someone who is
latter proved to be innocent. At every turn, justice demands that the
presumption of innocence be there throughout the trial until the jury
has reached a unanimous decision for guilt. Never again will there be
the converse requirement for a unanimous decision of innocence... ***
Only one of twelve jury members is required to find someone not
guilty. The latter is exactly what the Founding Fathers intended!
I'm flattered that someone with a Law background, like you, has said
anything favorable about my essays or my daily battles with others.
Here is the entire Article III relating to the Justice System:
"Article III:
Section 1: The lesser Judicial Branch consists of a Supreme Court and
such inferior courts as the House establishes. Its major duty is to
interpret laws. It has no power to command enforcement of any of its
rulings unless so mandated in prior, formally stipulated and apt
laws. Judges and justices are technicians of the law and of this New
Constitution. They shall perform their duties as individuals, never
as part of any perceived culture of the lesser Judicial Branch, nor
from any consultation whatsoever with past or present members of
such. Additionally, they shall not have held state or federal
executive or legislative office. The President shall nominate new
justices who are between the ages of 50 and 60 years old, and may on
good behavior, serve a single term of up to 10 years. The President,
or his agents, shall not work to win the confirmation of any
nominee. Judges and justices shall be selected for their intellect,
high moral character, compassion, knowledge of the law, likable
nature, and for their proficiency and expediency in office. Such
shall not be aloft nor considered infallible in all their judgments,
yet shall be respected if they right injustices quickly. They shall
make decisions based on apt laws and this New Constitution—never on
their personal ideologies. Every two years an unbiased review panel
shall apprise the Citizens of the job performance grade, as herein, of
seated judges and justices. With the assent of 60% of the voters
nationwide, the latter can be unseated. Judges and justices aren’t
royalty, nor do they have an implied moral judgment inherently
superior to public macro-consensus. They shall not be chambered
lavishly, sit in throne-like chairs, wear robes on the job, nor dress
in a style that differentiates them from the People. They shall not
socialize with, nor privately be in conference with, members of the
Executive or Legislative branches of government; nor shall they attend
State of the Union Addresses or similar events. The Public shall not
stand for entering or exiting judges or justices who shall be
addressed only as: judge or justice. Judges and justices not
respecting such provisions, or who exhibit excessive arrogance or
pomposity on the job shall be removed. Sessions of all trials shall
begin with the judge(s) or justice(s) saying: “The justice system is
on trial.” All assent five-to-four Supreme Court decisions are for
one year only, or shall be invalid; and the same nine justices shall
not—on their own—reconsider such issue. Courtrooms shall be devoid of
gavels, seals, flags and oppressive art, and no design feature nor
process shall imply that judges or justices represent government or
respond patly or collectively. It is TREASON for a judge or justice
to rule with disfavor on the supremacy of a fair democracy.
Section 2& 3: Judges and justices shall be answerable to the
People. On issues of internal criminality, misconduct or corruption
within any arm of government—including the entire judicial system—
judges and justices shall not, during a trial or during sentencing,
favor government officials, judges, justices, nor any arm(s) of law
enforcement, and shall hold government officials, fellow judges,
justices, or members of law enforcement as accountable for wrongful
acts as those outside of government. If a judge or justice fails to
respond to a rightful petition or complaint against any government
official or member of the justice system, such judge or justice may be
guilty of a felony. The determination of the above status shall be
made following a mandatory vote in the House. Upon a yea vote of 1/3
of the House, a national public trial, televised from the House, shall
be held regarding all named parties—with judgment being determined via
referendum. Whenever 60% of the registered voters who vote determine
that there is guilt, the government officials, judges, justices and/or
members of law enforcement shall be removed from their former
positions and sentenced commensurate with their crimes, up to and
including the death penalty.
Judicial authority shall extend to all cases in law and equity
arising under this New Constitution, the laws of the United States,
treaties made or which shall be made under their authority, to all
cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, to
all cases of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction, to controversies in
which the United States is a party, to controversies between two or
more states, between a state and Citizens of another state, between
Citizens of different states, between Citizens of the same state
claiming lands under grants of different states or the Citizens
thereof, and foreign states, Citizens or subjects. The Supreme Court
shall have original jurisdiction in all cases affecting ambassadors
and consuls, and those in which a state is a party. In all other
cases, the Supreme Court shall have appellate juris-diction both as to
law and to fact—with such exceptions and under such regulations as the
House shall make. Except in cases of impeachment, the trial of all
crimes shall be by jury in the state where said crimes were allegedly
committed, or if otherwise, where the House directs. Misdemeanors and
crimes occurring conjunctively shall be tried with the more serious
crime, unless the disproving of the misdemeanor would excuse the
crime. If either occurred in multiple jurisdictions, the trial shall
be at a single common venue that is least compromising to the
defense. But capital murder cases may be tried consecutively.
Section 4: New trials shall be granted to anyone previously found
guilty if there is substantive new evidence for innocence, or if there
was an improper collection of, suppression of, or distortion of the
facts by law enforcement, the prosecution, or by the courts. The
resolution of such matters shall be the top priority of the courts.
If a person is tried in a civil court for substantially the same
offense that they previously or subsequently be acquitted of in a
criminal case, a unanimous verdict of nine jurors shall be required
for the civil judgment to stand. No civil agency nor governmental
body shall independently seek to punish any person acquitted, as by
denying to such person any fundamental rights or privileges. In civil
trials monetary awards determined by juries shall stand. Achieving
justice being the primary objective, such shall take precedence over
petty procedural or legal technicalities, except those restrictions
placed on government(s) or protecting the full civil rights of any
citizen shall never be waived.
Obtaining a lawyer in civil cases is as fundamental to justice as
obtaining a lawyer in criminal cases. No statute of limitation shall
apply to any case in which a plaintiff or defendant diligently seeks
but can’t find a lawyer. Upon request to the court, an unbiased
lawyer shall be appointed. In federal cases licensed lawyers from any
state or territory may be used regardless of where the trial takes
place. The right of the People to obtain justice for any criminal or
civil injury is fundamental. Justice departments, law enforcement
agencies, and/or the courts shall be the instruments of justice.
Should such in any way obstruct justice by improper procedure, bias,
or intentional neglect of duty, such persons shall be held as
criminally accountable as anyone else for obstruction of justice—a
felony. Undue delay by a defendant or their counsel in a civil case—
as a defensive tactic—is prohibited, and if present may be considered
as evidence supporting guilt. Causing undue delay of appeals,
similarly, is prohibited.
Section 5& 6: It is treason to foster corruption in any arm of
government, to levy war against the USA, adhere to her enemies, or to
give them aid and comfort. The former must show abuse of power that
subverts the New Constitution, such as by enlisting subordinates into
unlawfulness that violates the civil rights of any Citizen or group.
No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two
witnesses to the same overt act, or by confession in court. The House
sets punishment for treason, if the civil rights of innocent relatives
aren’t affected.
Witnesses in court shall be asked: “Do you promise that the
testimony you are about to give will be truthful to the best of your
knowledge?” No religious help or association shall be required during
the asking of such question. The truthfulness of a witness’s
testimony can be limited by the manner, sequence, and extent of ...
