New Minnesota chief justice says court funding is concern



Chief Justice Gildea says she is concerned about more funding for the judiciary - primarily to pay judges - and about judge elections. She does not mention making justice affordable for Minnesotans. It costs over $400 just to file a lawsuit, or defend one, plus $100 for each motion or answer to a motion. Depositions cost thousands of dollars. The cost of litigation is out-of-sight - only a very few can afford a lawsuit. Lawyers are outrageously expensive. Over half the people in court represent themselves, they cannot afford a lawyer. They are bewildered and confused by complex rules. They do not get justice, they are railroaded by arrogant and insensitive judges, accountable to no one, and skillful lawyers and prosecutors whose only goals are to "win", and to make money. "Experts" chosen by judges earn huge fees for advice on how to parent kids and who gets to see them. Public defenders are not available except to the very poor who prove they are indigent, and then only for an average of 15 minutes per client - barely enough time to arrange for a plea bargain, guilty or not. Under a rule they issued, for their benefit only, Minnesota’s judges can take $150 tips ("gifts") from lawyers, special interests, anyone. They take these "gifts" in secret, without telling anyone. They can take as many of these gifts as they want - there is no limit. You can see this rule for yourself - it’s on the internet. Enter "Minnesota Code of Judicial Conduct" and click on "Read the full Code of Judicial Conduct." Scroll to Canon 4. Then go to paragraph D(5). Paragraph (5) states what a judge cannot accept, and then says: "except for" and refers to subparagraph (h). It should be illegal for judges to take tips as it is for all other government people .

But Chief Justice Gildea is not concerned about the cost of justice, or making it affordable. She did not even mention the ASD plan, a judge-created plan that judges say will save millions of dollars each year and bring our justice system into the 21st century. Rather, her primary concern is to keep judges under the control of the power elite and out of the control of the people.

WE THE PEOPLE should help all candidates in contested judge elections. Specifically, there are 110 judge elections scheduled for this November of which 15 are contested (listed in footnote 1 below). You should contact each of them and ask them if they share our positions, and promote or detract from them as appropriate.
