Court Corruption Petition Goes to The White House
A recently posted petition on The White House website asks the President to withdraw his nomination of New York’s chief judge from any position at the national State Justice Institute (www.SJI.gov), a group committed to improving the nation’s state courts. The petition calls on President Obama to take the first step in helping to “restore the faith of the people in their Justice System.”
The petition alleges that the top judge in New York State, Jonathan Lippman, is not qualified for any national position since he’s been involved in covering-up, or knowledgeable of, a variety of criminal acts. One case involves the $40million estate of a prominent New Yorker, and another alleges a cover-up to protect friends of Lippman regarding over $100,000.00 of stolen 9/11 donation money.
The White House Petition references numerous newspapers articles, including one in The New York Times. A Village Voice story traces Lippman’s long history on the administrative side of the state court system, and then how he got “elected’ with NO opponents. The story explains that Lippman’s childhood friend, attorney Sheldon Silver, used political favors to get Lippman all the way to the top.
A simple internet search using CORRUPT COURTS finds many startling allegations about the widespread corruption in and about New York’s vast court system, a $3billion dollar “machine,” and as described in one blog – www.ExposeCorruptCourts.blogspot.com
Tens of thousands of emails and tweets have advertised the “court corruption petition,” mostly from Twitter at @EthicsRouser and emails from [email protected] – Numerous comments call for “Cut Fraud and Corruption, Not Jobs” and describe New York’s Legal System Corruption as ruining America.
Ever since Wall Street imploded, readers have been more aware of what has been long-held from mainstream media- that the culture of corruption in the “System of Law” is a big and very costly problem in the United States.
