Dear Ms.Gray and Mr. Bastek,
Kindly find below the text of a letter that I mailed to Prof. Lessig at Harvard Law School together with supporting evidence; http://Judicial-Discipline-Reform.org/2012_E/LL/DrRCordero-ProfLLessig.pdf">http://Judicial-Discipline-Reform.org/2012_E/LL/DrRCordero-ProfLLessig.pdf.
It concerns a proposal for joint action that I would like to discuss with him when he comes to NY City next Wednesday, September 5, to participate in a panel discussion in the evening at the NYC Bar Association. We can meet there in the afternoon.
Therefore, I would appreciate it if you would see to it that this letter and my request are brought to Prof. Lessig and that I receive a response.
I thank you in advance.
Sincerely,
Dr. Richard Cordero, Esq.

Dear Professor Lessig,
I read with interest about your proposal for creating citizen conventions to deal with Big Moneyâs domination over the political process because “Americansâ¦can’t believe [that Congress] has the capacity to change itself to deal with the core problem”.i
Since in your view Congress is “a corrupted institution” i, Fix Congress First is not a viable solution, for incumbents are not going to risk their reelection by cutting the flow of money to their campaigns.
After the Supreme Court in Citizens United removed the sleaziness appearance of Big Moneyâs buying congressional influence, Congress has a much diminished P.R. need to âGet Money Outâii, adopt a constitutional amendment, or cede control to citizen conventions.
The continued pursuit of these long-failed efforts invokes Einsteinâs aphorism: âThe hallmark of irrationality is doing the same thing while expecting a different resultâ.
This is a proposaliii for a realistic effort that applies your âstrike at the rootâ principle: Since it is the Supreme Court that has enabled Congress to carry on with Big Money, strike at the Court, whose members are most vulnerable to the lowest journalistic standard: the appearance of impropriety. A significant precedent for that statement is provided by U.S. Justice Abe Fortas, who had to resign in 1969 due to his lawful but improper conduct.(jur:92§d)
The justicesâ appearance of impropriety due to unlawful conduct that is condoned by Congress(21 §§1-3) and the Executive(77§5) so that each may be allowed to pursue its wrongful interests can lead to a Watergate-like generalized media investigation(126§a). Its findings can so outrage Americans as to stir them up(83§§2-3) to demand of politicians when the latter are most receptive, i.e., during a dead heat presidential campaign, to undertake or call for official investigations, hearings on national TV, and profound reform through laws that include citizen conventions(133§f).
This strategy is reasonably based: The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Politico reported on Then-Judge Sotomayorâs appearance of having concealed assets102a, which points to tax evasion102c and illegally obtained assets.
This appearance extends to other justices(71§4) because their financial disclosure reports196a filed with their peers show that they too conceal assets196b as part of the Judiciaryâs institutionalized(49§4) coordinated(88§§a-c) wrongdoingiv.
Such wrongdoing has been enabled by Congressâs and the Executiveâs allowing the abrogation in effect of the Judicial Conduct and Disability Act18a by chief circuit judges, who dismissed 99.83% of complaints filed against their peers in the 1oct96-30sep08 period, and the circuit councils, which denied the petitions to review those dismissals.
For instance, during those 12 years19a-c, the 2nd Circuit council19d denied 100% of such petitions(24§b). J. Sotomayor, as a CA2 and council member20, enabled her peers to escape all discipline(25§§c-e).
She covered up a fraud scheme(66§2), run59 by a bankruptcy judge119 reappointed 109a by her and her peers(68§a), by denying a party discovery of every single document in a case over which she presided, DeLano(xxxvi), that so incriminated her129 in the scheme that she perjuriously withheld it from the Senate(78§6) Judiciary Committee(69§b).
This proposal calls on you together with Rootstrikers, unPAC.org, and others to make the initial presentation(xxv) of the evidence(xxxiii) that can set this strategy in motion by exposing the peers of J. Scalia, for whom you clerked, which confronts you with an ethical choice as director of the Safra Center for Ethics.
So I respectfully request an invitation to present this proposal to youv, your colleagues(125§3), and students246; and an appointment to discuss it when you come to NY on September 5.
Dare trigger history!233
