The following is an excerpt from a May 5, 2009 interview with Mr. Mark A. Adams JD/MBA. Mr. Adams bio can be found at the bottom of this page.

Editor: What I’d really like to learn from you is a summary of how, in your opinion, the justice system in America doesn’t work? You’ve cited in the video (below) certain situations where you really had to stand back and scratch your head… How can this be? Why is the system not working? Have our courts become that politicized?

Mark A. Adams: I wish that it was just politics, but it is because our rulers are above the law.  Our courts don’t work because we’ve been deprived of our right to present evidence of criminal conduct to a grand jury.  Although it is a criminal violation of 18 USC § 242 for a judge to ignore a statute, rule, or controlling precedent, see U.S. v. Lanier they do it all of the time because as a couple of U.S. Supreme Court Justices have said, slaves do not have the ability to present evidence to a grand jury.

As mentioned in my comment to To deprive a whole class of the community of this right, to refuse their evidence and their sworn complaints, is to brand them with a badge of slavery; is to expose them to wanton insults and fiendish assaults; is to leave their lives, their families, and their property unprotected by law. It gives unrestricted license and impunity to vindictive outlaws and felons to rush upon these helpless people and kill and slay them at will, as was done in this case.” Id at 599.

Imagine if a citizen presented evidence to a grand jury showing that a banker misrepresented the payments that would be due on a home loan or that a judge ignored the law or the facts. Do you think that the citizens on the grand jury would indict the banker who lied to dupe the citizen into a loan that the banker knew would result in payments much more than he claimed or a judge who ignored the law?

I do, and I think that the loss of this inestimable right is why our government has become so corrupt and abusive. I think that a lot of the fraud and abuse would not have occurred because the bankers would not want to get indicted, but they currently feel like they are above the law and can get away with stealing life savings, throwing families out in the streets, and having us bail out the banks.

The same goes for the judges, if they had to face a grand jury if they violated the law when reaching a decision, say for example charging someone with criminal contempt for filing a motion to vacate a judgment entered without jurisdiction or due process, then they would start following the law. Until then, like the bankers, they know that the prosecuting princes will not go after them.

Editor: Mr. Adams, Thank you for your candor. You’re a true American patriot which is something I cannot say about those in charge of our legislative, judicial or executive branches of American government.
