Letter to the Honorable Edith Jones

American Legal System Is Corrupt Beyond Recognition, Judge Tells Harvard Law School

Lawyers' private morality has definite public consequences... Their misbehavior feeds on itself, encouraging disrespect and debasement of the rule of law as the public become encouraged to press their own advantage in a system they perceive as manipulatable.
(Judge Edith Jones, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit)

Dear Judge Jones,
I just read an article about a wonderful presentation you delivered on February 28, 2003 (http://www.massnews.com/2003_Editions/3_March/030703_mn_american_legal_system_corrupt.shtml).

Your words are truly an inspiration to those of us who understand that the flagrant abuse of constitutional rights by the legal system every day is unacceptable because it destroys America’s values and way of life. The morality of our Founding Fathers was better than that and we hope to make you proud by helping get some of it back.

A small group of us are on our way to bringing down most of the immoral and corrupt divorce industry (http://www.childrensjustice.org/). Most people don’t have a clue about the trauma fathers go through to fight for their rights and for their children’s rights. We do, and we are taking action.

Today, we filed probably the most significant civil rights action in 51 years. We hope you will read it at http://www.childrensjustice.org/litigation/Litigation/mvco/complaint/, as well as some of the other litigation efforts we currently have in motion. The “kangaroo courts” (as the “family” courts have been called) have jokingly tried to hide behind the "best interest of the child" statutes (BIC) to allow them to make judgments about what they and the corrupt state feel are best for our children. The BIC, child support, alimony, and attorneys’ fees statutes are an infringement on our fundamental right to raise children and our fundamental right to property, and we are now proving it. The Federal Constitution permits a state to interfere with our rights only to prevent harm or potential harm to the child. But Texas, like most other states, permits a court to exercise virtually infinite discretion in "allocating" parental rights and responsibilities and parenting time and "awards" of custody and support, with the only requirement being that the judicial outcomes be "found" – solely by the court – to serve the "best interest of the child," which are in fact determined by the court itself. Talk about the fox guarding the hen house.

In fact, there is a father (James Loose) in your “neck of the woods” who has filed his own action in Tarrant County “family” court (325th District). The abuses of the prior judge were obnoxious (she later disqualified herself). If you’d like to read about it, please see: http://www.texasjusticepress.com/.

The divorce industry has taken our freedoms away from us. Fascism and socialism have taken over America in “family” courtrooms. As our forefathers did, a few totally devoted individuals are fighting for America’s values and morality. We owe it to them for their sacrifices, we owe it to our children for how wonderful they make us feel, and we owe it to ourselves in the name of humanity and our own happiness.

We understand, as it appears you do, that this is a moral crisis, and destruction is the nature of this evil. Fathers are considered the enemy, which “family” courts are attempting to (and continue to) punish and destroy. The threats and destructive actions by the “family” courts are meant to negate and paralyze fathers. These courts are murderers of a father’s capacity to live. They try to force fathers to accept their will by pointing a gun at our heads. They demand that fathers divorce our principles from the love of our children. This is their morality.

Well, we have been innocently generous in allowing the divorce industry to destroy us. Now we understand, and we will not be a part of our own destruction. We are not evil – that which destroys is evil. We are excellent fathers. We have earned the right to spend time with our children, to provide for them, and to guide them as we see fit. We are interested in preserving, fulfilling, and enjoying our lives with our children. We will not surrender our own self-interest, our children’s right to self-interest, or our minds. We will not accept “happiness” delivered by force of a gun and given to us contingent on self-destruction. We are suffering tremendously – physically, emotionally, and financially – and our suffering will likely get worse before it gets better. But our happiness will only come from joy without penalty or guilt – it will never come from self-destruction. Contrary to what the divorce industry wants, we will not consent. If we consent, then we deserve what they force on us. We will not silently default. The divorce industry will not run our lives, or our children’s lives. This is a battle for our right to live. Our morality will win. Their morality is no match for ours. Based on what I read about what you said, it seems that you know this as well America is a product of reason, and the purpose of the American court is to protect us from fraud and settle disputes by objective law. Family courts are initiating destruction in America by committing fraud on reason based on bias, stupidity, and lack of self-esteem. Anything of value requires a struggle, but we are no longer deterred. We are going to stop the destroyers.

And then we will rebuild. They don’t have a chance. Don’t take my word for it. We will prove it to you. And, hopefully, we will make you proud. Thank you for putting meaning back into the earned designation “Honorable.” All of my best.

Sincerely,

Brian M. Lovett

P.S. – If it would be possible, I would consider it an honor to read your speech. Would you be willing to provide me access to it?
