JUDGES FOR SALE

[loophole381]

2. Judges already bought and paid for

As a lawyer in Al. For the last thirty years I can attest to the accuracy of this report. It is now a forgone conclusion that we will have no demo appellate judges in the near future. When we were at a 5-4 demo majority in the 90's, I was in a mediation of an insurance fraud case,(an unusually bad case of fraud). When it became quickly apparent that no settlement was coming the insurance lawyers wanted to speak directly to me. With them was a boorish heavy set female atty from NEW YORK. She quickly let me know that they were electing (John doe) in the fall to give the repubs a 5-4 maj. She informed me I could get any verdict I wanted but it would not stand(she was right). We now have no demos on any appellate bench. This has caused several causes of action generally used by low income people to dissolve. IT'S ABOUT THE MONEY STUPID. Someone mentioned the Grissom book, I can tell you from being there it is dead on.
