To the extent that the judicial profession becomes the daily routine of deciding cases on the most secure precedents and the narrowest grounds available, the judicial mind atrophies and its perspective shrinks.

The Commonwealth of Kentucky has a judicial system, and this system needs a lot of repair. Therefore, there is no need for Kentucky to start building another judicial system within the system, that we already have.

No One Can be Blamed Aug 1st,2012
A reduced sentence because of time served gives the soft judge an out,
Politically-correct-religion types never have a doubt,
Less than half the Canadians vote so we don't even count,
Then add the Parole Board and sentence reduced by a larger amount.
And without referendums or input, we seem to run on remote,
Like a country caught in soft left wing socialist ideas they promote,
Because set-date elections or mandatory votes are not mentioned,
Can't rock the judicial boat and judges can't be questioned.
And many criminals carry illegal guns because they know,
Soft courts, easy time and it's all just a judicial floor show,
And if they are the right age, they cannot even be named,
A fairy tale in the papers where no one can be blamed.

My Room My Prison Be
Looking out my window
at the world outside.
I wonder why I am not out there,
playing around and having fun.
The bars at the windows
are what keeps me here.
They imprison not only me,
but also my heart and soul.
I plead sometimes
for them to disappear,
but my mind will not do it,
as it put them there.
I‘m imprisoned in my fortress,
the place I call my home.
Imprisoned by my mind,
because my mind decrees it so.
Imprisoned by a daily routine,
I find it hard to break,
and sometimes,
I do not want to break it.
Without that daily routine,
what would my life be?
Going around in circles,
until eternity?
My own guilt,
put me in my own prison,
and only I have,
the key to release me.

Judicial review has been a part of our democracy in this constitutional government for over 200 years.
The Reason For Speech
Homo-sapiens aspiring humans
have always sought to imbue
to worship honour appease
conceived our God conceptions
through embellished words.
Since first ritually
we group grunted
guttural forth
our first few animated
formulated syllables.
Theme forced voiced dramatically
our first vocal thematic
interchanges with God
culminating in constructing
Tower of theological Babel.
Precursor to noisy
ancients ascending to twentieth century
religious confusion
expressing volatile judicial
dominion denominational intolerance.
Precursor to noisy individualistic
twentieth century systematic
interchanges. Religious confusion reflecting
expressing volatile racist non-cleansing
judicial denominational prejudice.
