Mel Stamper 9

The courts do not maintain their independence as a judiciary. Without
constitutional authority, the system elevates judges above the law. The courts
are no longer our courts of justice or a bastion of freedom. With the passage
of the War Powers Act of 1933, they have become the Executive’s tool. The
judges are little more than organized crime families. They have invaded the
people’s court and now only impersonate and give lip service to justice by
exchanging obfuscation and sophistry in place of a justice system, void of any
form of judicial integrity.
Enforcing judicial standards on judges under this system is impossible.
Even though the court has rules, the judges make up their own rules as they
go or break the rules with impunity whenever it is convenient for them to
do so.
How can you take a judge to court when the judges control the court and
have granted themselves immunity from prosecution? How do you call the
police when it is the police who are breaking the law? The judges’ dishonesty
is contagious, and the government as teacher has sewn the seeds of discontent
and anarchy.
The LORD God Almighty has granted a judge immense power to judge
His creation, we the people. But along with that power comes immense
responsibility in that the LORD on the Day of Judgment will hold each
judge to a higher standard of judgment.
The people have learned their lessons well. They follow by example, and
the example of the courts and the criminal justice system has led the people
to behave criminally, just as Justice Brandeis predicted.
Government now appears more concerned with dictating personal
behavior and political correctness than with protecting citizens from the
private violence of murderers, muggers, and rapists. In 1990, for the first
time in history, the number of people sentenced to prison for drug violations
exceeded the number of people sentenced for violent crime. The number of
people incarcerated in federal and state prisons in 2001 was almost four times
the number incarcerated in 1980, and America now has a higher percentage
of its population in prison than any other country in the world – two million
people. If those on probation and parole are taken into account, the number
controlled by the justice system is over six million. So much for “the land of
the free and home of the brave,” which is now just another oxymoron akin to
“military intelligence.”
Unfortunately, the more that government has tried to manage people’s
behavior, the more unmanageable American society has become. Gangs
have replaced families, resulting in a greater proliferation of drugs and
illegal weapons. Our babies are becoming parents with no jobs or education,
