Just out of curiosity, is there one judge, in any case, who you think has treated me fairly -- to use your term. If so, please give details of how the judge applied the facts and the law correctly.legalschnauzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09619089628125964154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-31270592548019788072017-06-05T20:33:31.709-05:002017-06-05T20:33:31.709-05:00@8:06 --

I don't think I've ever written that I "think" a judge failed to treat me "fairly." Many times I have written that a judge's ruling runs "contrary to law." And that is the point of this blog, whether I'm reporting on a case that involves me or one that doesn't involve me at all. The points are these: (1) Was the case or statutory law applied correctly? (2) Was I treated correctly under the law (and the facts)?<br /><br />With that out of the way, I think I know what you are getting at, and I can think of one judge who has treated me correctly under the law. That was Carol Aiken, the Missouri judge who accepted my brother's motion to dismiss the incapacitated and disabled lawsuit he filed, seeking to have Carol and me committed. That's a lawsuit we "won," in spite of everything. <br /><br />It doesn't take much judicial courage to dismiss a case that the plaintiff admits is groundless, but I give Aiken credit for at least doing the obvious and correct thing. A lot of judges can't even do that.<br /><br />Aiken is the only one I can think of, at the moment. If another comes to mind, I will update. I hope Margaret Holden Palmietto, the Missouri judge on the bogus "assault" case against Carol, proves to be a person of integrity. But the jury still is out on that.<br />legalschnauzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09619089628125964154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-61802304482868741552017-06-05T20:06:28.945-05:002017-06-05T20:06:28.945-05:00Just out of curiosity, is there one case, one judg...Just out of curiosity, is there one case, one judge, who you think treated your fairly?

You might remember that Judge William Acker told me in open court he was going to cheat me on my UAB case, and it was in the court transcript, on paper. I complained to the Judicial Conference of 11th Circuit, and the "honorable" Joel Dubina (another great Alabama conservative) did nothing about it.legalschnauzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09619089628125964154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-65368801983196181302017-06-05T13:07:22.474-05:002017-06-05T13:07:22.474-05:00Proctor's claim that his conflict only was a f...Proctor's claim that his conflict only was a factor after he had dismissed your case is a real hoot.

It would be highly unusual for such a motion to be filed on a Monday, have a judge or clerk do a thorough research job, and have it written and served by Friday. Things in court just do not happen that fast, especially on something as involved as a Rule 60 Motion. It doesn't look like Hopkins tried on this one, which raises the question, "Why?" I don't blame you for being concerned.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-43103991965728795082017-06-05T09:19:11.205-05:002017-06-05T09:19:11.205-05:00@8:54 --

Judges take an oath to uphold the law, and we have a right to expect they will do that. I paid state and federal taxes in Alabama for 35-plus years, so I have an ownership stake in those courts. I haven't paid for them to be used as playthings by corrupt judges. <br /><br />I invite you to go back and look at the first lawsuit I was involved in -- brought by a criminally inclined neighbor AGAINST me; not the other way around -- and see if you can find anything in the case that was correctly decided. If that case is handled according to law, no other lawsuit would have come from me, zero. <br /><br />If you believe courts are to be used at the whim of corrupt judges, you really should find a different blog to read. You won't like what you find here.legalschnauzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09619089628125964154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-50260326883849487672017-06-05T08:54:34.644-05:002017-06-05T08:54:34.644-05:00If Schnauzer doesn't want his feelings hurt, m...If Schnauzer doesn't want his feelings hurt, maybe he should stop filing lawsuits.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-5432491915533711612017-06-05T08:00:35.878-05:002017-06-05T08:00:35.878-05:00If Hopkins doesn't want her whittle feelings h...If Hopkins doesn't want her whittle feelings hurt, maybe she should try doing her job.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-61224786413777865972017-06-05T07:38:40.584-05:002017-06-05T07:38:40.584-05:00@7:37 --
