Clarice Feldman: Mendacity and Corruption in the Judiciary
By Clarice Feldman

[AmericanThinker] Something is seriously wrong with American law schools and the disciplinary outfits that are supposed to monitor corrupt conduct of practitioners. You can see the effects of this degradation in the outrageous behavior of government prosecutors and in the judiciary, which ignores its responsibility to decide fairly and without bias. We are churning out dishonest, corrupt lawyers and judges who are more than willing to look the other way at such behavior, condoning the most obvious selective partisan prosecutions. As the awareness of the failure of the judicial system grows, the consequences will be enormous -- respect for the traditional way of resolving disputes and obeying the law are fundamental aspects of a civilized, prosperous nation. Once that is lost, other less tenable means will be employed.

The focus this week was on the absurd case in Georgia, where D.A. Fani Willis is criminalizing Donald Trump’s challenge to the integrity of Georgia’s presidential election in 2020.

In the hearings, we learned of the prosecutor’s illicit affair with someone she then hired for almost three-quarters of a million dollars, a man whom evidence indicated committed perjury in his divorce case. Worse, both Willis and her lover and deputy, Nathan Wade, appeared to commit perjury about when their affair began. (Something the judge elided in a too-facile stroke.) The defense argued that the prosecutors must be removed for conflict of interest. Judge Scott F. McAfee, who is hearing the case, once worked for Willis, and both he and his wife contributed to her campaign for the office of district attorney. On Friday he issued his decision in the case (days after his own previously uncontested reelection bid suddenly was opposed).

#2 Guilty!—But Not Really Guilty?
A cynical public now expects any accused prominent leftist to remain unindicted, while any non-leftwing target will be indicted, convicted, and jailed—for the same alleged offenses.

#3 America has 1.3 million lawyers. And they are all, repeat all, in it for the money.

#5 And Roberts thinks he's protecting the integrity of the court. The courts lost that a long time ago when they decided to play the end-around to the text of the Constitution.

#6 judges run in an election seeking approval from a majority of people who dont understand the legal system. Change it to a limited appointment by a panel appointed by the state supreme court and have the 'supremes' run for election with the governor.

#8 Very few companies in America would not have terminated both Willis and the Wade. The idea of having Willis continue to run an office of prosecutors post this scandal will not work out in favor of Fulton County.
