Retsvæsen: dømmende magt

Den offentlige sektor skal slankes, er der nogen, der mener. Interesserer man sig lidt for den slags, kan jeg bidrage med denne bog, hvor det vil fremgå, at der er store muligheder for besparelser i en organisation som politiet, hvor der foregår et kæmpe spild af ressourcer, økonomisk som menneskeligt. Det skyldes blandt andet en ledelseskultur, der efter min klare opfattelse tangerer russiske tilstande, hvor løgn, trusler, straf, chikane og krænkelser sætter rammerne for, hvordan medarbejderne har det, og hvad de er i stand til at præstere. I marts 2019 blev jeg afskediget fra Københavns Politi, og jeg klagede efterfølgende til Justitsministeriet over den afgørelse og skrev samtidig, at Københavns Politi såvel som Rigspolitiet ville blive udleveret og udstillet detaljeret for det, de står for, hvis ikke der blev grebet ind overfor ledelsens opførsel. Justitsministeriet greb ikke ind, men valgte standardproceduren at henholde sig til Københavns Politis udtalelse. De gad ikke at undersøge nærmere, så de daværende overgreb på medarbejderne kunne være blevet stoppet.Det må vel være politikernes ansvar, at ledelsen i politiet er usund og ødelæggende for omgivelserne. Umiddelbart virker det ikke, som om der er nogen hjælp at hente fra den front, for vi har desværre erfaret, at det er pinlige ting, der foregår i Folketinget, og ikke mindst i den nuværende regering, hvor det umiddelbart virker, som om løgn og magtmisbrug er helt legitim opførsel.Der må være tale om en svag ledelse i politiet, for det virker ikke, som om de er i stand til at klare sig igennem arbejdsdagen uden brug af løgn, trusler, straf, chikane og krænkelser. Ud over at ødelægge medarbejderne, hindrer de en effektiv produktivitet og forringer ikke mindst den service, borgerne har betalt for.Med venlig hilsenAnna Sui KofodTidl. ansat i Københavns Politi

Nogle mener, debatten om ­udlændinge i Danmark er forbi. Rasmus Stoklund viser, at den er mere nødvendig end ­nogensinde.Danmark kan ikke slippe af med ­udlændinge, der har begået alvorlige forbrydelser mod danskere. Og det er ikke konventionernes skyld. Ansvaret ligger hos dommerne i Strasbourg, som har gjort Den ­Europæiske Menneskerettigheds­domstol til de hårdkogte forbryderes ­beskytter. ­Hensynet til seriekriminelle voldsmænds ret til familieliv og sundhedsbehandling vægtes alt for ofte højere end hensynet til forbrydernes ofre og de lande, som gæstfrit har taget imod dem.Men nu er grænsen nået.Med tanke på, at Den Europæiske Menneskerettighedskonvention blev til som følge af en af verdens­historiens største forbrydelser, Holocaust, er det tragisk, at Den Europæiske Menneskerettighedsdomstol ved vidtløftige fortolkninger underminerer sin egen legitimitet. Og alt imens dommerne i Strasbourg tiltager sig større politisk magt, ser Europas demokratier passivt til, mens det yderste venstre affejer enhver kritik som højrepopulistisk og fremmedfjendsk.

"Americans today are increasingly uneasy about the democratic weaknesses of their Federal Constitution. But for most of living memory that very Constitution has been idealized as near perfect. How could it be that this flawed system came to enjoy such intense veneration? In a striking reinterpretation of the American constitutional past, Aziz Rana connects the spread of a distinctive twentieth century American relationship to its founding document to another development rarely treated alongside it: the rise of the U.S. to global dominance. In the process, he highlights the role of constitutional veneration in shaping the terms of American power abroad, with ultimately transformative effects at home for narratives of nation and ideas of reform. In the process, Rana also explores the remarkably diverse array of movement activists-in Black, Indigenous, feminist, labor, and immigrant politics-that struggled to imagine a very different constitutional horizon, one grounded in equal and effective freedom for all and able to overcome the basic limitations of the consolidating legal-political system. These voices of opposition, including to the Constitution itself, have overwhelmingly been excised from constitutional memory. And yet they offer essential insights for making sense of our present difficulties, in which Americans find themselves bereft of the constitutional sureties that have long shaped collective life"--

Equal parts Dark Money and Democracy in Chains, Antidemocratic is a riveting yet disturbing history of the fifty-year Republican plot to hijack voting rights in America, its profound implications for the 2024 presidential election, and the crucial role that Chief Justice John Roberts has played in determining how we vote.In 1981, a young lawyer, fresh out of Harvard law school, joined the Reagan administration's Department of Justice, taking up a cause that had been fomenting in Republican circles for over a decade by that point. From his perch inside the Reagan DOJ, this lawyer would attempt to bring down one of the defining pieces of 20th century legislation--the Voting Rights Act. His name was John Roberts.Over thirty years later in 2013, these efforts by John Roberts and the conservative legal establishment culminated when Roberts, now Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, wrote Shelby County vs. Holder, one of the most consequential decisions of modern jurisprudence. A dramatic move that gutted the Voting Rights Act, Roberts's decision--dangerously premised on the flawed notion that racism was a thing of the past--emboldened right-wing, antidemocratic voting laws around the country immediately. No modern court decision has done more to hand elections to Republicans than Shelby.Now lauded investigative reporter David Daley reveals the urgent story of this fifty-year Republican plot to end the Voting Rights Act and encourage minority rule in their party's favor. From the bowels of Reagan's DOJ to the walls of the conservative Federalist Society to the moneyed Republican resources bankrolling restrictive voting laws today, Daley reveals a hidden history as sweeping as it is troubling. Through careful research and exhaustive reporting, he connects Shelby to a well-funded, highly-coordinated right-wing effort to erode the power of minority voters and Democrats at the ballot box--an effort that has grown stronger with each election cycle. In the process Roberts and his conservative allies have enabled fringe conservative theories about our elections with the potential to shape the 2024 election and topple the foundations of our democracy.Timely and alarming, Daley offers a powerful message that, while Shelby was the misguided end of the Voting Rights Act, it was also the beginning of something far darker.

Many important opinions have been 5-to-4 split decisions. If nine of the best legal experts in the country cannot agree on what a statute or regulation means, how are average Americans to understand the law?!Chief Justice Roberts stated, "my job is to call balls and strikes." No, it's not! Not in a Free Republic! Justice Bradley understood, "It is the duty of courts to be watchful for the constitutional rights of the citizens, and against any stealthy encroachments [by Congress and Government.]" Three simple rule changes just might begin the process of restoring freedom.

More than four decades ago, Virginia O'Hare had a miraculous visitation from God. He said, "Virginia, in you, I am well pleased. I have chosen you to be my last day prophet. Through you, 10 million souls will be saved." Virginia thought, "Only 10,000,000 souls?" God answered, "10 x 10 million souls will be saved through you. Everyone in the world will know who you are." Virginia, then a 42-year-old single mother, raising three children, and working in her successful real estate business, ignored this calling from God. Years later, after the passing of her husband of 45 years, and her two daughters, she wrote her first book, Virginia O'Hare's Trials, Triumphs, and Vision from God.Two years after its publication, tragedy struck her life again. She witnessed her only son, Robert Anthony, being brutally assaulted by three Sheriff's Deputies in her own home. They had forced their way into the house, without a search warrant, and ignored her son's civil, and Constitutional rights. The nightmare of seeing her son bloody, bruised and in shock, terrified her. Fighting for her son's life and seeking justice, became her quest, which led to the birth of this book. She vividly details the horrible acts of corruptness, bias, and politics, in the Lake County Judicial System in Tavares, Florida.At age 80, God again revealed Himself to Virginia. He told her to remind the world that His Ten Commandments are forever, and the End of Days are here. Our Founding Fathers birthed Man's Laws in the U.S. Constitution, based on the Bible and God's Ten Commandments. Since then, man has failed to create, amend, and enforce laws that conform to God's laws. The Holy Spirit inspired Virginia's writing of this biblical journey.From God's Creation of the world 6000 years ago to the End of Days and beyond, Holy Scriptures document the prophetic message that Jesus Christ is mandatory for mankind's salvation, and He is coming very soon!
