An Excerpt From My Soon to be Released Book
The Massachusetts Court System
A Cesspool of Corruption
Prior to my first day in court, I naively believed that judges were honorable and that truth and justice would prevail. What I soon discovered as a father and as a litigant representing himself in court (i.e. a pro se litigant) is that the Catholic priest scandal has nothing on the betrayals of public trust and cover-ups that are occurring every day behind closed courtroom doors in Massachusetts, where absolute power has corrupted absolutely.
As certain as I am that every case that I have filed would succeed before a jury of my peers is as certain as I was that every one of these cases would be dismissed before these cases could succeed on their merits before a constitutionally-required jury.
If there are honorable judges in Massachusetts with the moral fortitude to hold their colleagues accountable, then it is the exception and not the rule because I have yet to find one in a test group that includes four family court judges, five superior court judges, eight judges of the Massachusetts Appeals Court, the seven judges of the state's Supreme Judicial Court, two "Massachusetts-based" U.S. district court judges, six judges of the First Circuit for the U.S. Court of Appeals, and the "member-judges" of the Massachusetts Commission on Judicial Conduct.
Taken separately, the crimes committed against me could be blamed on judicial incompetence, but taken cumulatively and it can hardly be disputed that there has been a conspired effort among several state and federal court judges to deny me justice.
The fact is that if judicial corruption and incompetence were limited to what is referred to in Massachusetts as "probate and family court", where my nightmare began; then litigants would still be able to obtain justice by appealing the law-defying rulings issued in these kangaroo courtrooms to a higher court.
Unfortunately, the truth is much more shocking than anything that could be imagined. Not only are complaints of judicial misconduct concealed from the general public by other judges, by the mainstream media, by the lawyer-controlled state legislature, and by the lawyers and judges who run the criminally-negligent Commission on Judicial Conduct; but litigants who report judicial crimes committed against them are targeted for retaliation.
I am one of those "targets" for several reasons:
I wrote a book on the topic of corruption in family court, which gained national media attention when two judges criticized in that book attempted to "ban" it.
I have filed two lawsuits in U.S. District Court against 16 state court judges, which should have every one of them facing jail time and removal from the bench.
I have this website, which publicizes the judicial crimes committed against me.
I have a cable show called, "Let's Talk Corruption," which can be accessed from the navigation bar above (i.e. "LTC" Full Episodes).
And I have reported every judge who has defied their own code of conduct and the laws of the land that they have sworn to uphold to the Commission on Judicial Conduct.
My efforts to hold judges accountable have resulted in witness-verifiable gossip about me behind closed courtroom doors and lawyers admitting to me in no uncertain terms that they would not represent me in court for fear that they would be retaliated against themselves.
The retaliation against me has followed such a consistent script that it would not surprise me to discover that the judges in my cases were receiving the following directives from above or from their colleagues:
(1) defy the law to dismiss my cases before
they can succeed on their merits before a 
jury.
(2) and in the meantime, do everything possible
to prolong my cases and add to their costs.
It is the Sixth Amendment that preserves the right to a trial by a jury of one's peers in criminal cases and it is the Seventh Amendment that preserves that same right in civil cases. These Amendments were enacted to eliminate the "tyranny" of giving a single judge the power to decide a case.
That "tyranny" is alive and well in Massachusetts, where judges, who are accountable to no one, have sidestepped this limitation on their power by dismissing cases illegally before they can be heard by someone outside their corrupt little circle.
I write "illegally" because the legal standard to dismiss a case is very high - a fact that can be confirmed with numerous case law opinions.
The dismissal of a case is a drastic remedy that is employed only sparingly. Teamsters Local Union No. 171 v. Keal Driveway Co., 173 F.3d at 918 (4th Cir. 1999).
A court faced with a motion to dismiss a pro se complaint must read the complaint's allegations expansively and take them as true for purposes of deciding whether they state a claim. Cruz v. Beto, 405 U.S. 319, 322, 92 S. Ct. 1079, 1081, 31 L. Ed. 2D 263 (1972).
If there is any possible theory that would entitle the plaintiff to relief, even one that the plaintiff has not thought of, the court cannot dismiss the case. Bonner v. Circuit Court of St. Louis, 526 F.2d 1331, 1334 (8th Cir. 1975).
Courts are required to go to particular pains to protect pro se litigants against consequences of technical errors if injustice would otherwise result. U.S. v. Sanchez, 88 F.3d 1243 (D.C.Cir. 1996).
Pro se litigant or not, for purposes of ruling on a motion to dismiss, the court is to take all facts alleged by the plaintiff as true. Steckman v. Hart Brewing Company, Inc., 143 F.3d, 1293, 1295 (9th Cir. 1998).
With a reference to the case law cited above, I have never survived a motion to dismiss in either Essex Superior Court or U.S. District Court for reasons that have had nothing at all to do with the merits of these cases or my competence at representing myself in court.
In fact, if I have learned anything from the lazy, incompetent, and unethical attorneys who I have been up against in court, it is how little you need to know to work as a lawyer in this state and how little effort and preparation most lawyers will put forth to represent their clients.
The claim that "he who represents himself in court has a fool for a client", which I would guess was generated by a lawyer as a marketing ploy, would be pure nonsense if the courts adhered to the law because anyone with half a brain and access to the internet can do what lawyers, particularly family court lawyers, are wildly overpaid to do for you.
The element of truth to the claim that lawyers are necessary lies in the fact that the judges in this state are corrupt and are willing to do everything in and outside of their legal power to prevent a pro se litigant from succeeding in court against a hired attorney.
The contemptuous attitude from these politically-appointed hacks, who were once lawyers themselves, is "how dare he think that he can come into my court and deny a lawyer the opportunity to profit off his case."
Add that to the fact that if judges ruled on cases without bias, pro se litigants, who know their cases better than anyone and who have no other case to prepare for but their own, would succeed against lawyers in court more often than not and confirm the fact that lawyers offer very little to their clients in the form of legal knowledge or services that the client cannot acquire or accomplish on his own.
