Judicial Tyranny Goes Unchecked

Never in the history of Georgia has the General Assembly had the courage and determination to bring impeachment charges against a sitting judge. I am calling on all members of the Georgia House of Representatives to join together and file necessary impeachment charges against Judge Adele Grubbs, of the Cobb County Superior Court. I call upon all Georgia Senators to urge their colleagues in the House to bring impeachment charges and to vote to convict Judge Grubbs, when her violations of the law and the Constitution are presented to the Senate. Absolute proof of these violations has been offered to numerous elected officials, and that offer still stands.

Justice John Marshall, of the U. S. Supreme Court wrote, "We (the judiciary) have no more right to decline the exercise of jurisdiction which is given, than to usurp that which is not given. The one or the other would be treason to the constitution." Cohens v. Virginia, 19 U.S. 264 (1821). Based on the learned opinion of Justice Marshall, Judge Adele Grubbs is guilty of treason against the Constitution of the United States, as she has exceeded her jurisdiction. She has claimed she "enjoys judicial immunity," in pleadings filed on her behalf by none other than Attorney General Thurbert Baker and four of his assistants. Judge Grubbs and Attorney General Baker have indicated in pleadings a judge can break the law, without fear of prosecution, as long as the judge is clothed in a black robe, despite their actions, obligations, and requirements. Taken to the extreme, this argument holds that a judge could shoot a citizen in open court, in cold blood, and enjoy immunity from prosecution.

The scary thing is the U.S. and Georgia Constitutions do not contain a "judicial immunity" provision. Similarly, neither U. S. Code nor Georgia Code contains a "judicial immunity" provision. No, the Legislative and Executive Branches have watched as the Judicial Branch has legislated this imaginary immunity from the bench, in violation of the Constitution. A legal search reveals the "immunity" judges claim comes from British Common Law, specifically during the 1200's A.D. Taffy's and my direct ancestors fought in The Revolutionary War and The War of 1812 to rid our great nation of all British law, including British Common Law.


The legislature has the sole authority to impeach a member of the Judicial Branch. However, the Legislature has refused to exercise that authority. Judge Grubbs has committed numerous violations of the Constitution, her Oath of Office, and Georgia Code against my family, as well as other citizens in unrelated cases. Showing a blatant disregard for the law, Judge Grubbs has willfully violated the mandatory provisions of O.C.G.A. § 15-6-21. This Code Section requires a Superior Court judge, in a county the size of Cobb County, to file a ruling on any motion within 90 days of the pleadings or a hearing, if one is convened. In Case Numbers 04-1-00020-33 and 02-1-04560-42, Judge Grubbs refused to convene a hearing or issue an order on no less than 10 motions, for almost one year. The record speaks for itself. The failure to file orders on any of these motions for more than 90 days is an illegal action for which the only remedy is impeachment and permanent removal from office. In Case No. 02-1-04560-42,

Judge Grubbs voluntarily participated in ex parte communications with members of the Plaintiff organization, in public, at a Chamber of Commerce breakfast. This conversation was witnessed and verified by Cobb District Attorney Pat Head. In refusing to perform her duty to offer her own recusal for this violation of law, and her continual display of bias against the Defendants, she also violated the Code of Judicial Conduct, for which the punishment is removal from office. The Judicial Qualifications Commission has also refused to perform its duty.


Many elected officials have spoken recently about what they call "activist judges," yet none of these officials have taken any action to remedy the situation. We need to Stop Incumbent Tyranny (SIT) and elect people to office who have the courage to follow their oaths of office and exercise the Constitutionally required check and balance authority, in order to protect all citizens from judicial tyranny.
