No Judge who is corrupt, who condones corruption in others, can possibly remains on the Bench.

How best do we move beyond personal adversity to create social transformation?
“We must act now for the sake of our Children, they are our future. Every child has a right to life.” – Archbishop Desmond Tutu
Radio Show Brief: Unfortunately in the rush to improve society from its baseness the sanctity and sacredness of life has been left unattended to. Much to the irony of western liberal democracy, the most vulnerable in society i.e. – women and children are ill affected. In the midst of soul wrenching adversity and life draining circumstances individuals worldwide have risen above their personal anguish and given momentum to social justice movements and campaigns which seek to provide hope, justice and quality of life to all who are or may suffer their similar losses, challenges and personal pain.
It is noteworthy to say that some of the great resolute from pain to hope for all stands have been nurtured by those who nature has endowed with that life sacred maternal instinct – women, oftentimes mothers. Social hope from anguish and despair has been energised historically by names or groups like Harriet Tubman, Ida B Wells, the Suffragettes, Rosa ParksWinnie Mandela, Mothers against Violence, Doreen Lawrenceand many others. Each story has been one of anguish, personal triumph and social advancement. Each story’s evolution has provided a basis for stages of progressive social change for others in society.
The ongoing campaign for the right to medical care for the critically ill, Little Ambassador, Ariana-Leilani, by Dr Ariel King has provided yet another source of a saga of anguish which is providing an oasis of hope for all children globally. The irony of the continual noncooperation by either the national bodies of both the USA and Germany and the young daughter’s own father to allow Ariana-Leilani to receive life enhancing medical attention defies belief. This is markedly strange when both countries are both bastions of western liberal democracy and have endured brutal histories of the threat or abuse of the sacredness of human life.
Prior to and during the above developments Ariana-Leilani’s mother, Dr King has organised tirelessly to raise both public awareness, seek restitution and change and provide social structures internationally which would work to prevent any child to go through what boils down to a blatant regards for the rights of the child. Her two foundations,Ariana-Leilani Foundation International and Ariel Foundation International are sterling models of the evolving a legacy of the potential of hope and just change from the anguish of personal life’s challenges.

Comment on Recall Judges in Iowa

Comment:
This is the kind of work we need to do in Virginia to get activist judges out.  Virginia's method of having Bar Association members select a Judge from among their own buddies is a clear conflict of interest and should be done with.
In 2005 & 2006, I objected to the former Bar President Janine Saxe being elected as a Judge.  Janine Saxe had earned a name as a "White collar Child Abuser" for her abusive tactics of creating litigation in family courts and profiting from it.
While being the Seceratry and president of the Fairfax Bar - She was instrumental in nominating several Judge including Judge Langhorne Keith who was an openly radical Judge opposed by Rob Whitfield, Ron Fisher and others of FathersForVirginia. She was also among the people involved in getting Judge Gaylord Finch kicked upstairs from JDR to Circuit Court and three years later got herself a JDR judge position.
Two mothers had brought a lawsuit against Janine Saxe and took it all the way to the Supreme court before loosing out.  The attached flyer was what we distributed to the Bar, Elected officials and others.... But guess what..The incoming Bar President and Fairfax Bar Association nominated her for JDR Judge position and got her elected in 2006. She is currently a Fairfax JDR Judge...

Voters give activist judges the boot. Lawyers are shocked.

 "misuse of the judicial retention vote."
Voters give activist judges the boot. Lawyers are shocked.

Iowans made a clean sweep of the state Supreme Court on Tuesday, voting to recall all three justices who were up for a retention election. The rout is being played as an unprecedented politicization of state courts. Maybe if judges behaved less like politicians, they'd have less reason to fear recall votes.

Voters were expressing their dismay over a 2009 Iowa court ruling that gave the green light to same-sex marriage. That unanimous decision, which overturned a state law defining marriage as between a man and a woman, struck voters as an attempt by the seven justices to impose their views on the state. This is precisely the kind of judicial arrogance—finding a right to gay marriage in the state constitution after many decades in which no one noticed it—that the recall election was designed for.

To choose its judges, Iowa employs a version of the so-called Missouri plan, whereby a state judicial nominating commission submits two or three names to the Governor from which he may choose a new judge. Once on the bench, judges face retention elections after the first year and then every eight years to remain on the court.

In Iowa and most other states that run similar methods of judicial selection, retention elections are typically pro-forma. Judges run unopposed, and voters are rarely motivated to shake up state courts. Nationally, some 99% of judges win their retention elections, and Tuesday's triple ouster was the first jettisoning of Supreme Court justices since Iowa adopted the current system in 1962.

That's just the way the liberals like it, allowing the lawyers guild that dominates the nominating process to get virtual lifetime tenure for their selections. According to the Des Moines Register, Iowa's nominating commission includes 12 Democrats, one Republican and one member whose affiliation is unknown. Critics of the judicial ouster naturally deplored the recalls as a "misuse of the judicial retention vote."

But Iowa's voters aren't yahoos who recall judges willy-nilly, and when judges exceed their writ in such blatant fashion they shouldn't expect an automatic pass from the people whose lives are governed by their decisions. Perhaps sensing that their ouster had exposed the flaws of the process that elevated them, the three ex-justices issued a statement expressing their "hope" that "Iowans will continue to support Iowa's merit selection system for appointing judges."

We hope not. To fill the three vacancies, the state's nominating commission must now select candidates—either rushing them through the lame-duck office of departing Governor Chet Culver or leaving the choice to Republican Governor-elect Terry Branstad. That process is sure to be closely watched by Iowans whose votes against the last bunch were meant to send a message to the "non-partisan" commission picking judges. A better system would be to let the Governor nominate anyone he chooses and have the legislature offer advice and consent, as in Washington.

Groups like the George Soros-funded Justice at Stake have poured money into convincing voters that they should let committees pick their judges, but disenchantment with the system is growing. Voters in Nevada on Tuesday rejected a ballot measure that would have moved the state to a Missouri-style system, while retention elections in Colorado and Kansas were more hotly contested than usual.

Far from a beacon of judicial independence, the three Iowa justices were fired because they put their own political preferences above their commitment to the law. If judges want to avoid recalls, they should leave social legislation to legislators.
