Harmful Effect of Money in Louisiana Government

Motion to Quash LLC takes action against government corruption and retribution in Louisiana. No one can get a fair trial before judges who receive illegal payments from attorneys and retroactive immunity from criminal prosecution.

A significant number of judges in Louisiana receive illegal payments from attorneys in the form of campaign contributions. Motion to Quash LLC is taking the steps to pass legislation that says any judge who receives contributions from attorneys no longer can sit on the seat in the district where the attorneys practice. What You Can Do to Rid the Louisiana Judiciary of Bad and Corrupt Judges

There is continuing fraud before the courts in Louisiana and the Louisiana judicial system is in a crisis. This is the underlying story of how judges receiving illegal contributions and payments to increase their own interests has corrupted the Louisiana judicial system.

The Louisiana Supreme Court and Court of Appeal Justices and Superior Court Justices at all times knew and know at present, many Louisiana judges sit on cases in which they are disqualified under law because the attorney gave them a criminal payment and: (1) appears before them as a party; (2) appears as a witness; or (3) has an interest.

The mission of the Campaign for Judicial Integrity in Louisiana is to disqualify the judges who are receiving money from attorneys and end corruption and take back our judicial system.

How to Disqualify Your Judge

Responsibility falls on citizens to reclaim our justice system. The method is for the people to file LA Code Crim Pro 987 based on fraud upon the court. Motion to Set Aside Conviction and Dismiss Prosecution; Rule to Show Cause; and Order of Dismissal forms are to be used. Here is a link to the forms provided by LSAC http://www.lasc.org/rules/City_Parish/Uniform_Forms_for_City_Parish_Courts.pdf

Also, federal laws provide an opportunity to reverse the judge’s ruling and move forward with working the case to its logical conclusion. The Supremacy Clause of the Constitution of the United States (Article VIClause 2), establishes that the Constitution, federal laws made pursuant to it, and treaties made under its authority, constitute the “supreme Law of the Land” and thus take priority over any conflicting state laws.

Section 1346 of Title 18United States Code provides an intangible right to honest services.  The statute has been applied by federal prosecutors in cases of public corruption as well as in cases in which private individuals breached a fiduciary duty to another.

Exercise Your Rights & Contact Your Legislators

Remember, these payments have affected every aspect of the court system, so now is the time for action.

“If you have been hurt by a judicial decision or by a corrupt judge and you want to do something about it, this is the only thing that you can do. Protesting in the street is not going to get you anywhere. Making music or noise is not going to get you anywhere. Exercising your right will get you somewhere.” – Dr. Richard Fine, Founder, Vote for Justice, Campaign for Judicial Integrity.

MOTION TO QUASH LLC BLACKLIST

Jefferson Parish Elected Officials and Attorneys Who Have Incurred Suspicion

By Tracie Burke| Motion to Quash, LLC| 7/21/2019| 11:10 AM

A comprehensive list of Attorneys who clearly can’t win a case unless the courtroom fix is in, the MOTION TO QUASH LLC BLACKLIST includes Jefferson Parish elected officials and attorneys whose campaign finance contributions signifies impropriety and creates bias. The omission of a name could mean the individual or group is under review by the Louisiana Ethics Committee, or some other jurisdiction where the information is confidential pending a hearing on the matter. MTQ examiners review each case individually and requests for charges are consistently turning up hearings and indictments. 

A campaign contribution becomes a bribe when the quid pro quo is shown. Jefferson Parish elected officials are benefiting from the confusion of campaign finance laws by steering contracts and legal work to election campaign donors, and by violating a number of judicial and lawyer codes.

Merely receiving a campaign contribution from someone who benefits from the elected official actions is not enough the Supreme Court said in a 1991 decision overturning the extortion conviction of a West Virginia legislator. Prosecutors must prove a donation caused an elected official to pull levers of government power in ways he would not otherwise. 

Other courts have held a payment doesn’t need to be tied to a specific official for a jury to find quid pro quo, “so long as the defendant understood that he was to take official action whenever an opportunity was presented to him.” It’s a matter of explaining it properly.

MOTION TO QUASH LLC BLACKLIST spreadsheets are sufficient to conclude the benefits theory because it proves there was an understanding between the elected officials and the contributors that contributions would lead to work or a favorable outcome of a case.  

Many Jefferson Parish elected officials did escape the Blacklist but that requires another article for those deserving of praise. Called the MOTION TO QUASH LLC WHITELIST, it’s the reverse of blacklisting. 

Check back in August for updates to the MOTION TO QUASH LLC BLACKLIST.
