Thompson v. The Florida Bar

Doc. 274 Att. 2

John B. Thompson, Attorney at Law 1172 S. Dixie Hwy., Suite 111 Coral Gables, Florida 33146 305-666-4366 [e-mail]
October 26, 2007 The Honorable Charles Grassley United States Senate 135 Hart Senate Building Washington, D.C. Via Fax to 202-224-6020 Re: Secrecy Surrounding Judicial Misconduct on the Federal Bench Dear Senator Grassley: I very much appreciate, as do many Americans, your assertion reported in today's Miami Herald: Sensenbrenner and Republican Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa have proposed legislation to create an inspector general's office that would independently investigate allegations of judicial misconduct. The judiciary opposes the idea, which Grassley said demonstrated that some judges ``see themselves like gods who are above criticism.'' I'll give you a good example of the self-deification of the federal judiciary coming out of Miami: Recently I provided evidence to U.S. District Court Judge Adalberto Jordan of the trafficking in "obscenity" by a Florida lawyer who was linking to this obscenity from the home page of his Florida Bar-regulated web site. This reportage was necessary because this evidence went to the very core of the case before Judge Jordan. I submitted the evidence of this obscenity trafficking to the electronic CM/ECF/PACER federal court file with more than adequate warning labels. What did Judge Jordan do? He turned me over to our district's Ad Hoc Committee for discipline because he was offended by what he saw! He went after me, the undersigned whistleblower, and refused to send the material which he admitted, in an order, was "obscenity" over to our US Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, Alex Acosta. The failure of Judge Jordan to report this crime to authorities is misprision of a felony, in my legal opinion, and clearly an impeachable offence by this Article III judge.

This is yet another example of a member of the federal judiciary who seems to put his own interests ahead of the public interest, as children are able to access this "obscenity" free of charge and with no age filters at the offending Florida lawyer's Internet porn portal. Our Chief Judge Moreno then unilaterally formulated a new rule, with no input from members of the bar and the public, the purpose of which is to punish others who come forward with evidence of such criminal activity! This mistake by the Chief Judge goes to your point, in the article, about the impropriety of judges making rules in the dark. I am now in the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals alerting that Circuit to the gross misconduct by Judge Jordan, but it is uncertain whether they will give me or the citizens here in South Florida any relief from this type of federal judicial nonsense that rewards crime, punishes whistle blowing, and, above all else, expresses an arrogance of power that the Framers sought to avoid. Justice Brandeis identified well what we are increasingly seeing from the federal judiciary: "Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy." If you would like me to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee about this incredible misconduct by this federal judge, please let me know. The third branch of government, which is supposed to safeguard our liberty is, in the name of "judicial independence" clearly contracting it.
