Supreme Court approves new rules governing attorney conduct
Supreme Court approves new rules governing attorney conductFor the first time in nearly 20 years the Supreme Court of Kentucky has approved comprehensive revisions to its rules governing attorney conduct, including a new rule that requires attorneys who know about professional misconduct by other attorneys or judges to report the misconduct. The rules were released April 16 and become effective July 15.
“The revised rules reflect thoughtful changes that will bring Kentucky into line with national standards for attorney conduct,” Chief Justice of Kentucky John D. Minton Jr. said. “Our goal is to improve public confidence in our state’s legal profession by strengthening attorney accountability.”

Joseph Lambert Stepping Down as Chief Justice
Lambert is stepping down as Cheif Justice of the Supreme Court.
Lambert is praised as having accomplished many great things, but these praises come from those who generally have a proprietary interest in the process as system insiders. Among the many great things accomplished has in reality been a huge expansion of the Judicial Bureacracy and Legal Machinary. Praised for the creation of many "specialty" courts, flavors A-Z, and billions of taxpayer money for "new judicial centers".
These new judicial center expansion programs have come to a grinding HALT under the crashing state budgets. In reality, a gang of theives has been voting themselves Largess from the taxpayers dole for the last 30 years.
Measured through the eyes of the Majority of Parents and children "Rendered" in Lamberts "family courts" has been more misery than you could imagine. Abuses of power that subject to unjust treatment, deprivations of rights, and extortion of money.
There is something that drives this. To get a better understanding into the forces behind it we turn to an article by Carey Roberts published in January 2004.
shows us the agenda behind to judicial policy being applied.
Socialist Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, once made this cold-blooded remark, "The most merciful thing a large family can do to one of its infant members is to kill it." And when asked about China's policy of compulsory abortion after the first child, Molly Yard, former head of the NOW, admitted in a 1989 interview, "I consider the Chinese government's policy among the most intelligent in the world."
So the disclosure of secret documents from the New York-based Center for Reproductive Rights (CRR), recently published in the federal Congressional Record (www.c-fam.org/pdfs/SecretProabortion InternationalLitigationStrategy.pdf), only confirms our worst fears.
The documents provide many other examples of the subversive feminist-socialist agenda:
1. One memo claims that treaties such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights guarantee women's right to "reproductive health," which is a well-known code phrase for "abortion on demand." Clearly, there is something frightening about claiming a treaty designed to protect human rights provides the legal justification for the elimination of life.
The memo also admits the deceptive nature of the pro-abortion lobby: "there is a stealth quality to the work: we are achieving incremental recognition of values without a huge amount of scrutiny from the opposition."
2. A second memo specifically targets under-age girls. The CRR advocates provision of reproductive health services for girls without parental knowledge or consent, and admits this "has always been one of our priority areas."
3. One secret planning document admits the existence of "hostile majorities" in most states, so the "protection of the judiciary" will be needed to thwart the will of the people.
4. One paper outlines recommendations from the CRR directors. One unnamed director ordered that CRR programs be "ruthlessly prioritized." Another admonished, "We have to fight harder, be a little dirtier."
The objective of the abortion advocates is not to protect women"s human rights. Rather, as revealed by the comments of Margaret Sanger and Molly Yard, their ultimate goal is to progressively restrict women's reproductive choices, that is to take away their birth-right.
In entering these documents into the Congressional Register, representative Christopher Smith of New Jersey commented, "It is especially important that policy makers know, and more fully understand, the deceptive practices being employed by the abortion lobby...These papers reveal a Trojan Horse of deceit."
Indeed.
With Lambert stepping down, the next Chief Justice cannot turn a blind eye to widespread abuse, corruption, malpractice, and misconduct. The Next Chief Justice must show that "tort from the bench" in family law will not be tolerated. The people will become better informed about what is at work politically, against them, and against their liberty.
Judicial Nepotisms and the Proprietary Bar Association
This is an excerpt and expose of the story that broke upon - The Polwatchers Blog April 8, 2008
http://polwatchers.typepad.com/pol_watchers/2008/04/girlfriend-of-c.htmlGirlfriend of chief justice's son gets court jobBy Brandon Ortiz
mailto:OrtizBORTIZ@HERALD-LEADER.COMPlease offer your comments at the above website, and thanks to Mr. Ortiz for this expose.A woman dating a son of Chief Justice Joseph E. Lambert has been hired for a human resources job opening that was not advertised.
Joanna M. Cruz, 26, started at the new position of benefits administrator for the Court of Justice on March 1. The job pays $39,684 a year and is responsible for planning and directing benefits, such as unemployment insurance and worker's compensation, for the court system's 4,000 employees.
Cruz is dating Joseph P. Lambert, 23, whom she met while attending Princeton University. She graduated in June 2004 with a bachelor's degree in religion.
Joseph P. Lambert is the chief justice's oldest son.
"The position should have been posted and advertised," said Richard Beliles, chairman of Common Cause of Kentucky, a government watchdog group. "It does sort of get my attention."
Nemes said he leapt at the chance to hire Cruz when he learned she and Joseph P. Lambert were moving to Kentucky from Texas.
"I bet you in 10 years she'll be running this shop," Nemes said. "She is just phenomenal."
So the Quetion is: How much more obvious corruption in the unaccountable Ky Courts of "Just-us" Bar and Bench hegemony do the people of kentucky need to experience before they stand up and say "Hell no!" ?These people have evolved themselves to near Godhood since 1976 with the Judicial Article. The Supreme Court Justices set the tone for how local courts conduct themselves, or misconduct themselves. The current climate in Ky Courts is extensively polluted and corrupted, especially Family and CPS cases, where human trafficking, extortion, and racketeering occur. The oversight committes are told by Cheif Justice Lambert to "stand down"- do not hold judges accountable.This is the policy under Lambert and at least 3 other justices.The Ky Bar does not hold attorneys who intentionally injure parents and their children accountable. Their in on it. There profiting from all this human trafficking.Constitutionally secured and protected rights? Forget it. their above the law. they can rob you, kidnapp your children, at laugh at you while they do it. It is Out Of Control.Can the General Assembly help? only if the people rise up and make them.
Federally Subsidized Marxist Policies Undermining Local Communites
The Federal Goverment funds the detruction of Family to the tune of 1 billion dollars a year, since 1990
Family Law Advocates Need to Counter DV Falsehoods
Department of Justice statistics show domestic violence (DV) in married, intact couples is only 2% (http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/intimate/victims.htm). So why do the public and state legislators believe that partner violence is out of control?
Each year the federal government bankrolls the domestic violence industry to the tune of $1 billion. That money is authorized by the Violence Against Woman Act (VAWA) and other laws.
Much of that money is awarded to state domestic violence coalitions. In at least three cases – New Hampshire, Maine, and West Virginia – these coalitions have denied membership to organizations that proposed to provide domestic violence services to male victims of domestic violence in spite of Section 40002(b)(8) of VAWA 2005 which states, "Nothing in this title shall be construed to prohibit male victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking from receiving benefits and services under this title".
State DV coalitions often sponsor biased training programs to legislators, judges, and the public, falsely claiming that domestic violence is "overwhelmingly" perpetrated by men. (For examples, see RADAR’s Special Report, "Education for Injustice" – http://mediaradar.org/docs/RADARreport-Education-For-Injustice.pdf)
In addition, state DV coalitions have become lobbying organizations. In many states they have successfully pressured legislators to weaken protective order standards and enact all-encompassing definitions of DV. They have also pushed state legislatures to adopt mandatory arrest polices, no-drop prosecution, and primary aggressor laws.
Federally-subsidized state DV advocates have used the domestic violence issue to defeat family law reforms, as well:
North Dakota’s shared parenting initiative in 2006
West Virginia’s shared parenting bill in 2008
New Hampshire’s mutual consent divorce bill in 2008
Virginia’s bill that would have required evidence and a separate finding to restrict a parent’s access to a child in a spousal protective order in 2008
2008 did see one successful attempt to restore fairness and balance to family law. A West Virginia bill was proposed to impose criminal penalties for false accusations of DV and child abuse. The West Virginia bill was recently signed into law, albeit somewhat watered-down from the original version.
It has become clear that family law reform will not succeed until the half-truths and falsehoods of intimate partner violence are addressed.
We encourage persons concerned about family law reform to work together to assure the truth of domestic violence gets out. RADAR has developed a flyer, "It’s Time to Tell the Truth about Domestic Violence": http://mediaradar.org/docs/RADARflyer-Time-to-Tell-the-Truth.pdf. We encourage persons to share this information with legislators and others in your state, so family law reform becomes a reality.

Kentucky Summit On Children Lacking
KENTUCKY SUMMIT ON CHILDREN LACKING IN CONSTITUTIONAL INTEGRITY.
KPNEWSWIRE - Ky
DAY 1 -
HUGE WINE AND DINE WASTE OF TAX DOLLARS Right out of the gate, the Kentucky Summit on Children, is more of the same old smoke and mirrors from industry insiders and proprietary associations that pose as a constitutional judicial branch of government. No matter how much they try to dress it up with bells and whistles, it still doesn't hide the fact that the process is one where parents are exploited, extorted, and rendered into profit for those in the positions. Constitutional Rights and Liberty Interests are routinely violated. Apparently Governor Fletcher believes that every single parent before the court is a pressumed drug addict. How do you think the prescription drug problem got to be a problem? Maybe because black market drug profiteers are well connected in and around state government.
This summit gives no mention of Divorcing parents and their children. It tries to focus on a parent absent propaganda phrase called "Juvenile Justice". The Family Courts of Kentucky are fraudulent and corrupt operations. Along with their corrupt counterparts and co conspirators in human trafficking, The Cabinet for Health and Family Services. They Lie, falsify records, and are a blight upon the state government.
They repeat the same old misteps of trying to throw more money into a failing policy and agency and expand with larger staff increases as the same old Wrong Answer again and again.
Specialty courts, the wave and craze of Chief Justice Joseph Lambert, are the slick sugar coatings to sell you a sack of dung. How about just a good old fashioned Judicial Court of Constitutional Due Process of Law. Not this Organized Crime acting as a legitimate Government function Caeser Joseph? Please Resign and save the tax payers the burden of an Impeachment Process.
The following is reprinted from the Commonwealth Propaganda Center.
Governor addresses first Kentucky Summit on Children
FRANKFORT, Ky. – At the first Kentucky Summit on Children, Governor Ernie Fletcher today described shifting the focus of Kentucky’s child welfare system to emphasize prevention, in the same way the administration has transformed Kentucky Medicaid.
“Much as we have done in health care, we must change our focus from an illness model to a wellness model, focusing on what is wrong with the family as well as what is working and can be built upon to help keep families together,” Governor Fletcher told the audience of those involved with the child welfare system, including judges, attorneys, legislators, child welfare officials, court system personnel and foster parents and children. The Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) led the summit, which was held in Louisville.
The key in that transformation has been data analysis to learn which programs work. Based on that data, the administration has allocated money to programs that have a proven track record, Governor Fletcher said.
An example is the Jefferson County Drug Court program, which faced closure due to a lack of funding. But data showed improved outcomes for families involved in the program, so the Governor found funds to support it, and the Department for Community Based Services (DCBS) continues to work with AOC to implement additional drug courts across the state.
Governor Fletcher discussed other child welfare initiatives, including:
Through its START – Sobriety, Treatment and Recovery Team – program, DCBS is replicating a successful program from Cleveland that combines a social service worker and a family mentor who is a recovering addict with experience with the child welfare system. START provides intensive services and contact with families to focus on the chemical dependency of the parent and the safety of the child.
Collaborating with the Kentucky Youth Development Coordinating Council, DCBS is working with local communities to implement after-school programs for middle and high schools students who are at risk of alcohol and substance abuse, out-of-home care, school delinquency and teen parenthood.
The Race, Community and Child Welfare project targets 11 counties in which -American children are disproportionately represented in state foster care. The project takes positive steps to educate staff and communities about the problem and how to address it.
In the coming weeks, Medicaid will expand substance abuse treatment services to include a pilot program for mothers who were not previously covered unless they were pregnant or post-partum.
The Blue Ribbon Panel on Adoption, led by Cabinet for Health and Family Services Secretary Mark D. Birdwhistell, plans to recommend legislation that would be designed to better inform and support parents involved with the child welfare system.
“Transforming health care in Kentucky has not been an overnight process, and neither is a complete shift in thinking in our child welfare system,” Governor Fletcher said. “However, by putting money into successful programs that help keep children with their families, we’re investing our dollars in prevention. I believe that will ultimately prove to be a wise investment in Kentucky families.”

Supreme Court Continues to Turn a Blind Eye
Ky Supreme Court Continues to Deny Father Access to the Court
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 30th , 2007
Frankfort, KY - For over 120 days, a Central Ky Father Claims the Supreme Court has denied him and his 7 year old son access to the court as prescribed in the Commonwealth's Bill of Rights, and setting a terrible example for the public trust and Integrity in the Judicial Branch of our Commonwealth.
The Petition stated that a Family Court Judge abused her power and entered an order depriving Jacob and his Father of each other, and that there was no credible reason for it; she just did it. Wes Collins, Jacobs father, stated that this greatly harmed his son emotionally. To further compound the injustice against the child and his father, the court of appeals grossly neglected its duties to reverse the situation, completely turning a blind eye to the plain facts that "there was no justifiable reason for it."
They just turned a blind eye, and forced me to have to seek access in the supreme court, and now that court seems to be unconcerned that a child is being wrongfully restrained, emotionally saddened, and unjustly held away from his father. The big factor is that the order entered by the family court depriving them of their Parent-Child right is now over 3 years old. Father and son have only been able to speak to each other by phone since that time. " Jacob is really growing impatient with the waiting, and he expresses this to me when we talk on the phone" said Wes.
Section 14 of the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Kentucky states that " all courts shall be open, and every person for and injury done him in his lands, goods, person or reputation, shall have remedy by due course of law, and right and justice administered without sale, denial or delay". "Clearly" says Wes, "there has been an excessive amount of delay and denial thus far."
To think that the court would actually prolong an injustice such as this is irreprehensible, and requires all Kentuckians to take a long hard look at the inner workings and practices occurring in our alleged Courts of Justice, especially family courts.
