Why do Judges Have So Much Power

Federal Judges take an oath of office to protect the Constitution of the United States.  They abide by an oath that charges them with unbiased and blind justice.  We the people are entitled under the law to a fair trial, due process, along with many other civil rights.  A civil litigant is not required to prove his innocence, it is up to the prosecuting entity to prove guilt.  This is the law

While this is all and good, the oath of office is many times ignored.  The longer a judge is in office they realize they have so much power and control over someone life.  If you ask the average person on the street about our judicial system, they believe that our Bill of Rights protect us against the super powerful judiciary system.

When I first learned of the Jeff Baron case, I took a straw poll of my friends by asking a few simple questions.  All were taken from court records,

Unequivocally they were horrified to learn what Jeff has gone through in a court of law that is supposed to protect you from corruption, innocent until proven guilty, etc etc, etc.  With each comment, they would say,  This is American, there are laws against that".  "A judge can't take the right to work away from someone, we no longer have slavery in America."  "Lawyers have to tell the truth, they take an oath."  Lawyers are supposed to keep client privilege private." "A judge can't coach a witness during a hearing."

I tell my friends that prior to 2010 I believed as they did.  This case has turned my head around and I now know what corruption really looks like.
people, news media, and the like are afraid to speak out against the injustices people encounter.  Other areas such as family law is a cesspool of corruption, Elder care is another area old, infirm and or their families are abused by the law. The Federal Court system is rampant with judges violating the law they are supposed to upheld because they are protected by the government. Because Federal Judges are not subject to recourse, they have all the power to do whatever they like inside or outside the law.


Both my father and my husband fought for this country.  My father gave his life so we can be free.  I am sick to see what has happened to the justice system and the greedy lawyers, the biased judges, Congress who is supposed to be the watchdog of the judicial system is more interested in their special interest groups then making sure that their constituents (us regular folk who vote) are not taken advantage of by the system.
