#Occupy The Courts

'The impetus behind #OWS is to bring together the 99% who do not own the world, and to provide a venue to address the greed and corruption which has brought America to its knees. By focusing the attention on Wall Street and the financial institutions, #OWS may be missing a prime target for the corruption that has taken over our country—the courts.

Because of decisions rendered by our courts, millions of people are losing their homes. Because of decisions rendered by courts, families are being torn apart and children are being taken from their parents. Because of decisions rendered by courts, our elderly and disabled are losing all their rights and all access to their assets through guardianship proceedings which only stand to benefit attorneys and the guardians. These “civil” proceedings are shredding the most fundamental unit of our society, which is the family.

All of these issues are adjudicated by judges. California attorney Richard Fine attempted to address illegal payments received by State Superior court judges, via “special benefits” afforded the judges by California counties. For his groundbreaking work on this issue, he was rewarded with a year and a half in jail.'
