1 MN Judge Lloyd Zimmerman whines about Suburban Court Security The month of January 2012 in the Twin Cities started off with a series of articles about Suburban Court Security. Minnesota Judge State Judge Lloyd Zimmerman threw a temper tantrum and pouted that he would not hear court cases in Suburban Hennepin County Courts because they did not have enough Security. Judge Lloyd Zimmerman refusing cases in courtrooms he deems unsafe And then Hennepin County Sheriff chided in: Hennepin County sheriff Rich Stanek backs judge's fears about safety in courtrooms But then the Minneapolis Star and Sickle Reported: Daily drama, but no violence, in evidence in suburban courts It is ironic that one of the most corrupt judges in the State of Minnesota is worried about his safety. Judge Lloyd Zimmerman is the original Minnesota Judge that ruled that Minnesota Lawyers are not required to treat their clients ethically. In John A. Fabian v Paul Volkkommer MN A , Judge Lloyd Zimmerman ruled that the Minnesota Code of Professional Conduct is not an implied covenant of a Minnesota Lawyers Contract with their client. (This is an unpublished opinion in an attempt to hide this departure from the Rule of Law) To recap, Minnesota Lawyers and Judges felt too constrained to be bound by a code of ethics, so they decided to call it the Minnesota Lawyer s Code of Professional Conduct. Now some of you mere citizens might be lulled into thinking that something called the Minnesota Lawyer s Code of Professional Conduct might protect your interest. You might even think such a thing would be something that assured you that the lawyer that you paid 100 s or 1000 s of dollars to had to treat you at least as well as the Lawyer s Professional Conduct code would require. The mere citizen might think that acting in accordance with the Minnesota Lawyer s Code of Professional Conduct might be a requirement of the licensing of lawyers. Still further, you

2 might reason that just as business are not allowed to engage in false advertising and making fraudulent representations, so would the Minnesota BAR not be allowed to engage in false advertising or making fraudulent representations to potential clients of their members, namely lawyers and judges. But you, a mere citizen, would be wrong. You would be wrong on all Counts. Members of the Minnesota BAR are allowed to make the false representation that Minnesota Lawyers are required to treat you ethically per the Minnesota Lawyer s Professional Responsibility code. Minnesota Lawyers are allowed to falsely represent that they will treat you ethically. Minnesota Lawyer s are allowed to charge you hundreds and thousands of dollars and then allowed to treat you unethically and deliberately lose your case for you. And you have no course of redress because the Minnesota Courts, Minnesota BAR and Minnesota Legislature have implemented rules, procedures and opacity to thwart your attempts at redress. And shame on you for feeling anger and being moved to violence just because a lawyer took large sums of money from you, defrauded you and then unethically caused you to lose a case which permanently altered the course of your life Shame, Shame, Shame on you. (That last dialogue is a satire of the conservation of the MN judges at their annual extravaganza up on Lake Mille Lacs at some swanky resort paid for by taxpayers and Court fees) (And this author challenges any Minnesota Judge or Lawyer to write a response and deny that what is written is true. ) But meanwhile, any person that understands Natural Law, the Rule of Law or has simple common sense knows that this ruling is unjust and cannot be allowed to stand. It simply cannot be a legal finding that a lawyer does not have to treat their client ethically. But again you, a mere citizen, would be wrong. The Systemically Corrupt Minnesota Appellate and Supreme Courts upheld Corrupt Judge Lloyd Zimmerman s ruling. The systemically corrupt Minnesota Courts have stopped using the Rule of Law and replaced it with Might Makes Right and How much justice can you afford?. And since their was no swift and vociferous condemnation by the Minnesota BAR, the American Bar nor any individual Minnesota Lawyers or Judges, it is evident that Minnesota Lawyers and Judges want the latitude to be able to treat their clients unethically.

3 So how does this relate to violence in the Courts? First, let us observe that for almost 200 years, American Courts operated without metal detectors. Until recently, most rank and file Citizen s respected American Judges. (With some exceptions like Dred Scott, Federal Reserve Act, etc) But the frequency of the occurrence of Judicial Abuse of Power has become more frequent. Further, as the literacy rate of America has vastly increased, rank and file Americans can no longer so easily have the wool pulled over their eyes. They can read for themselves and grasp the concept of the Rule of Law. And finally, even if the mass media cooperates in suppressing bad rulings, the bad rulings still get out. With the advent of the internet, dirty little judicial secrets can no longer as easily be hidden. But the Legal Profession in Minnesota has, until now, been successful in beating back challenges to its power. For example, here in Minnesota, the Legislature has unconstitutionally delegated its duty to oversee and discipline the judiciary to the judiciary. The two bodies set up to by the MN Supreme Court, The Board of Judicial Standards (BJS) and the Lawyer s Board of Professional Responsibility (LBPR) are just kangaroo Courts, Cover up agencies and Public Relations Teams for the judiciary. For now coming on 7 years, 100 s of Minnesotan s have wanted to exercise their First Amendment Rights to Petition the Government for Redress of Grievances relating to the MN Judiciary. For 5 of those years, Republicans said they could do nothing because the Democrats controlled the MN State House and Senate Judiciary Committees. And now for the past two years, the Republicans (the majority in both Chambers) have stonewalled allowing 100 s of Minnesotans from giving testimony and evidence of corruption in the Minnesota Judiciary. At the same time, the corrupt Minnesota judges are going around the State denying they are corrupt and trying to convince Minnesota Citizens to give up their right to vote for Minnesota Judges. These corrupt Minnesota judges allege they are not corrupt now (because their crony NJS and LBPR don t find judges and lawyers corrupt) but that the Minnesota Judiciary will become corrupt if Judges continue to be selected by election. (They have other equally vapid reasoning, but the one laid out is their main bogus argument for taking away your constitutional right to vote for Judges.) In Summary, we have laid out that a more educated American Public can see the misdeeds of the Courts in violation of the Rule of Law which causes anger among citizens. Further, we have seen that the Internet makes the publication of such unjust rulings a much more frequent occurrence, further elevating the anger of citizens. Still further, we have seen in Minnesota how the Legislature unconstitutionally delegated its duty to oversee and discipline the Courts to the Courts. And then how the courts set up the bogus BJS and LBPR to give the appearance of oversight and discipline but actually they serve as Cover-up and PR operations.

4 And finally, we have seen how for 7 years in Minnesota Legislature has oppressed its Citizens by refusing 100 s of citizens to exercise their 1st Amendment Right to Petition the Government for Redress of Grievances. In conclusion, Judge Lloyd Zimmerman and all Minnesota Judges have no legitimate reason for demanding additional security. The increasing angst amongst Minnesota Citizens is caused by the Court itself and is two fold in nature: 1) The MN Courts often make rulings not consistent with the Rule of Law; 2) The MN Courts and the MN Legislature have taken all avenues of redress to WE THE PEOPLE which must inevitably lead to violence or the enslavement of WE THE PEOPLE; Yet as the Minneapolis Star and Sickle investigation demonstrated, Minnesotans overwhelmingly restrain themselves in even the most emotional like family court. Some citizen s have restrained their anger due to religion. Others, such as myself, have restrained their anger because we feel up to the challenge of challenging the authority of evil with the pen. And, Some people just plain don t want to go to jail. But what of my fellow citizen s, not similarly restrained and/or of reasoned mind. Is it fair to the lowest paid workers to pay 100 s of dollars to an attorney that is not required to treat them ethically? Upon Spending a large percentage of their annual income on an attorney, is it reasonable to expect them to not be upset when their own lawyer causes a permanently life altering ruling by not representing them ethically. Are all you judges and lawyers telling rank and file Americans that they just have to bend over, grab their ankles and take it when Judges depart from the Rule of Law and shut down every course of redress? Or is that just the opinion of Judge Lloyd Zimmerman? Before we spend more money on metal detectors and Security, How about we fix the injustices and departures from the Rule of Law that are causing most the angst amongst people who use the Courts? Before we start spending more money on metal detectors and security, how about you state legislators fulfill your duty to allow the 100 s of WE THE PEOPLE to exercise our 1 st Amendment Right to Petition the Government for Redress of grievances Allow us to give testimony and evidence of Corruption in the Minnesota Courts. 7 years WE THE PEOPLE of Minnesota have waited. 7 years WE THE PEOPLE have restrained ourselves from violence. Minnesota Legislators: Do you Represent WE THE PEOPLE or are you Tyrants, with we citizens being your subjects?

5 And to my Fellow Minnesota Sovereign Citizens I say this: There can be only one reason why No Judge, No Lawyer and No State Legislator objected to the ruling that Minnesota Lawyers don t have to treat Clients ethically: They don t intend to treat you, their client, ethically. Further, with this lack of swift repudiation of the ruling that Minnesota Lawyers don t have to treat clients ethically, we now know there are only 3 kinds of Minnesota Lawyers, Judges and Legislators: 1) Those that are evil; 2) Those who follow those who are evil; 3) Those who are too pusillanimous and/or selfish to stand up to those who are evil. Why would you ever want to appear before any such Minnesota judge or pay any Minnesota Lawyer, knowing they reserve the right to treat you unethically? Why would you vote for any State Legislator knowing they did not immediately step in to protect WE THE PEOPLE from Judges and Lawyers who feel they don t have to treat WE THE PEOPLE ethically? This fall when you vote, don t vote for any incumbent State Representative, State Senator nor State Judge regardless of party. If only one incumbent judge is running for a seat, write in NO CONFIDENCE One last clue to the Minnesota Legal Fraternity, When demanding additional security, it would be better from a PR perspective if you did not have one of your most corrupt colleagues make the demand. In Closing, Thank you, my fellow citizens, for taking your valuable time to read and reflect upon what is written here. Please join with me in mutually pledging to each other and our fellow citizens our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor to our mutual endeavors of restoring liberty and economic opportunity to WE THE PEOPLE as our Founding Fathers envisioned and intended.
