Truth and Justice in a Federal Court

On 11 January 2012 a great senior federal Judge Ronald R. Lagueux of the First Federal District of the United States ruled that "no amount" of "history and tradition" "can cure a constitutional infraction." Judge Lagueux did his duty to the people and our Constitution. This judge did not join the religious bigots that harassed the plaintiffs. He did not join the religious bigots and make a ruling to satisfy their outrageous demands.

Judge Lagueux did not use his Catholic religion to justify a wrongheaded ruling that would have only brought shame to his court. Every court, from low to high, belongs to all the people equally, and there by should be shameless. Any judge who brings shame upon his or her court, should immediately resign.

Every citizen should read Judge Lagueux's Decision and Order. It is written in simple language and can be found, among other places, on the New York Times web site article dated 31 January 2012 under the story line of: "A Brave Stand in Rhode Island." Also, Case 1:11-cv-00138-L-DLM Document 27, Filed 1/11/12.

The cases and reasoning behind his final decision are the same that was presented to the local federal Judges Robert Brack and Lourdes Martinez, which they chose to ignore and rule for the local religious bigots.

The Right to Write a Letter

Citizens' Awake! You have a right to write letters to whomever you wish.
Some citizens are not too aware of the extent of their civil liberties guaranteed by the laws of the United States beginning with our U. S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. Even in the seemingly lawless confines of New Mexico the state Constitution states: "The U. S. Constitution is the law of the land."

It appears that some citizens find life easier if they just keep their heads down and pull their anchor-like burden. Politicians, judges, lawyers, and all others pigging out at the overfilled trough of tax dollars love these citizens since they cause no problems. "Take it like a man!" is heard over the guffaws at the trough.

One of the rights citizens have that those at the trough thoroughly detest is the citizens' right to write a letter to them. Those at the trough seem to believe they are above the law. One group of those at the trough are some judges, elected or appointed, city, county, state, and/or federal jurisdictions. This country was founded by protesters and writing a letter is a way to illuminate any wrongs the citizen experiences.

Many judges take their responsibilities very seriously, to their oath, to the law, to our country, and to the people. Their personal honor is readily apparent and you will never see them at the trough. The title of MacArthur's famous speech of "Duty, Honor, Country." applies to these judges. They honestly earn their pay.

Then we have judges that knowingly cross their fingers when they raise their right hand and take the oath of allegiance to "protect and defend" the Constitution.

When judges do the wink-and-nod dance with attorneys, politicians, and/or religious leaders or their representatives, to prevent citizens from enjoying the same civil liberties the aforementioned ilk enjoy, our laws and courts have been contaminated. If not, why would a judge or two show their fear of a citizen telling the truth? Then use their 'judge's discretion' to send U. S. Marshals to the citizen's home in an attempt to intimidate the citizen. Just an extension of fruitless judicial harassment that failed in the courtrooms.
