The state and federal judiciaries are very immoral and corrupt. While there are some honest judges, they are few and far between. The truth be told if there was a way to show the dishonest practices and the “under the table” money shenanigans that are going on, there would be a lot of judges in prison. The reason there are not that many judges in prison is because the judiciary has built-in protections making it extremely difficult to impossible for people to prove what is happening—and law enforcement simply isn’t interested in exposing it. It’s just the sad reality and sad truth. We should have learned long ago from Operation Greylord, a federal sting operation from the 1980s into the Cook County Courts in Chicago, that there are many judges who are on the take and that there is a great need to investigate the goings on in the judiciary.

There is no question that Operation Greylord was just the tip of the iceberg in terms of the seriousness of this problem, a problem that haunts us to this day, but a problem that is essentially unmonitored and unchecked unfortunately. The federal sting operation in the Chicago court system proved that there are many corrupt judges and public officials who are dishonest or outright criminals, which resulted in prison time: ninety-two officials were indicted including seventeen judges, forty-eight lawyers, eight policemen, ten deputy sheriffs, eight court officials and one state legislator. Nearly all were convicted with most of them pleading guilty.

And then after that sting operation was over, it has been business as usual again. If the feds were truly interested in judicial integrity, it would conduct more sting operations as it did in Greylord, but the feds aren’t at all interested in stepping on the comfort level of the corrupt judges that permeate the judiciary. I am sure there is a reason for that. I will leave it up to you to come to your own conclusion as to why there are no sting operations in the judiciary.

If there is a profession in this country that warrants taking a yearly polygraph exam—a lie detector test—it is the judicial profession. Every state and federal judge in the United States should be required to take a yearly polygraph test in order to safeguard the public from malfeasance within the judiciary. It should be a condition of employment for all judges. Doing so would go a long way towards “disinfecting the swamp.” The American Polygraph Association sets the standards for testing and maintains that polygraphs are “highly accurate” citing an accuracy rate above 90 percent. Polygraph tests are used by law enforcement in criminal investigations, by federal agencies to screen potential employees and for probation officers to supervise sex offenders. And yet while government agencies use polygraph tests which have an accuracy rate of above 90 per cent, it is mind-boggling that the judicial system won’t allow polygraph tests to be allowed into evidence.  READ MORE
