May an administrative court deny access to its public site to a blogger for - well - blogging about stupidity in judicial assignments of that same administrative court? A story in pictures.

I did not plan, ladies and gentlement, to start blogging in this new blog with this topic.  I actually planned a completely different topic for the first article.

But, as it happens, life is full of surprises - or non-surprises, as this case shows.

My husband, a criminal defense attorney of 37 years in the state of New York who worked out of and had a free legal aid clinic in Delhi, NY for all those years - but who was made-former attorney by the local judicial and prosecutorial mafia (and their children); I, also a made-former criminal defense and civil rights attorney, my family members, my friends have been on the receiving end of blatant and vicious discrimination, harassment and retaliation for decades.

Before I was made-former attorney, I started blogging, in a blog named "Attorney Independence and Judicial Accountability in the United States".  Over 11 years, the blog now counts close to 2,000 blog articles - where I subject to deserved, scathing criticism local judges, prosectors and politically favored attorneys.

My husband and I left the State of New York 10 years ago, but some members of our family, and friends, remained in the area - and became targets of judicial retaliation, including and especially for my blogging.

It was not easy to prove that retaliation is tied to the blogging and to our professional activities as a criminal defense and civil rights attorneys, fighting for our clients against CPS, judicial and prosecutorial misconduct in the area.

It has become easier now.  After 14 years that my husband is not practicing, after 10 years that I am not practicing, after 10 years that we are away from the State and from the area, judicial biases against us were not put to rest.

Four recent recusals of two local judges, both former prosecutors, both of them with a raging hostility against my husband going on for decades, and then projected agaisnt me when I started practicing in front of them, both judges who I criticized in my blog repeatedly, on point, for years, for their raging misconduct, recused from a puny case about an old fence where we were brought in as defendants in Delaware County Supreme Court (we won it).

Recused with explanations indicating that both judges read my blog.

Well, ok, I got it.  I was preparing a lawsuit agaisnt these judges because of their long-time undisclosed biases that they visited upon our family member and our friends, in retaliation agaisnt us, planning to ask for an injunction against them barring them from ever presiding over our cases.

But then - yesterday happened, adding a yet another basis for my lawsuit against the local judicial system, as a journalist.

Yesterday, I published in my facebook group this post:

The assigning idiots who I criticized in that post are the Chief judge of the 6th Judicial District Eugene Faughan and his "District Executive" Porter L. Kirkwood, a person with a very little gray matter between his years, but with a LOOOOOONG grudge against both of us.  Because, first, I cost him a judgeship in Delaware County Family Court - yes, with my blog articles, over 20 of them in one month before the election day, one of them is still counted by the automatic view counter on my blog "Attorney Independence" as the most viewed article on my blog.  And, second, for reasons explained by my husband in his third-party complaint agaisnt Porter Kirkwood my husband filed in the action Berrian, Inc. v. Neroni, EF2023-943 in Delaware County Supreme Court.  Look it up on NYSCEF, it is free to download.

The retaliation for publishing of the assigning idiots' stupidity in assigning to a case two judges, one after another, who were defendants in the action, and waiting until THEY recuse, not assigning another judge with an apology for the mistake  - came instantly.

Today, I was trying to access the PUBLIC site of the assigning idiots, this one, to get some information - for the blog, and for a lawsuit:

And - lo and behold - my access is simply denied.  I am now not authorized to see that public website, ladies and gentlemen:

Well, it will be a nice addition to my upcoming lawsuit.  By the way, Delaware County is already currently sued for such shenanigans, among other things, blocking a local newspaper, in retaliation for coverage the county did not like, from pertinent information.

I checked access here from several devices - the same result.

No matter for how long this will last, this is denial of access, actionable under the 1st Amendment, freedom of the press.

They can't be that stupid, can they?  But - they are.  

So, the first prize for Judicial Bullshit on this blog goes to Chief Admiistrative Judge of the 6th Judicial District Eugene Faughan.
