When once a republic is corrupted, there is no possibility of remedying any of the growing evils but by removing the corruption and restoring its lost principles; every other correction is either useless or a new evil. -Thomas Jefferson
The prevention of corruption is essential not only to make government work for its intended purpose, i.e., ensure that public officials are using their office to further the public interest and not to enrich themselves or other, but also to preserve public confidence in the democratic process.
“[A] democracy is effective only if the people have faith in those who govern, and that faith is bound to be shattered when high officials and their appointees engage in activities which arouse suspicions of malfeasance and corruption.” (United States Supreme Court.)
The Constitution reflects a significant concern with preventing corruption in all levels of the government.” Thus, the Constitution permits impeachment of any officer of the United States, including the President and Vice President, for “Treason, Bribery, or other high crimes and Misdemeanors.” (U.S. Const., art. II Section 4)
In the State of Kentucky, and most States across the Nation, certain structural protections were enacted, such as a trial by jury to protect against corrupt judges, and the ability of state legislatures to enact legislation to combat corruption.
The picture above is the seven Supreme Court Justices who Denied Chandler’s Discretionary Review Petition, on April 18, 2018. At that time Justice Laurance B. VanMeter, was the only Justice who also issued rulings within the Chandler case, as a Kentucky Court of Appeal Judges.
2023 Kentucky Supreme Court Justices who unanimously voted to suspend me from the practice of law. Since the entire Order is fabricated and not supported by any evidence in the record, this was a deliberate and direct collusion to conceal and cover up the actions of Downey, Moore, Williams, and the Court of Appeals. Four of the Seven Supreme Court Justices, actively participated and made corrupt rulings in the Chandler case, and actively obstructed justice, while the cases were on appeal.
The Kentucky Supreme Court Order against me, goes out of its way to affirmatively state the following:
“To begin, we note that Powell has provided no relevant argument or evidence concerning her charges in 17-DIS-0121. Rather, she continues to allege that Judge Williams, Attorneys Moore and Downey, and the Court of Appeals illegally conspired against herself and her client, and that all of her actions were warranted.”
All Four of those Justices should have recused themselves, according to their own rules. However, this is no different that Judge WIlliams constant refusal to recuse herself in the civil action, or from reviewing the District Court Laches Ruling. The Kentucky Judiciary fraudulently prosecuted me for five years, and then the Kentucky Supreme Court Suspended me from the practice of law, to protect and conceal their own conduct and actions taken within their previous rulings.
The State of Kentucky has impeachment proceedings for Judges
Brucie Moore is married to Owensboro, Kentucky, Attorney Charles Moore, who was the former Kentucky State Democratic Party President.
Brucie Moore and her husband Charlie Moore, co-owned a Thoroughbred Horse Racing Farm under the name Waymore, LLC. The state-of-the-art stables are located in Union County, Kentucky, on Brucie Moore and Charlie Moore’s land. There has been several article written about large campaign contributions made by Brucie and Charlie Moore and how it relates to Governor appointments. Steven Beshear, Sr.
The Merit Panel that issued the February 16, 2017 Order, against Chandler. I submitted a Motion to Recuse Judge Debra Lambert, because she had previously served on all motion panels, that denied Chandler the ability to submit a Reply to Steven Downey’s fabricated Responses. In addition to the fact, she had already DENIED Chandler’s Motion for Discretionary Review in Mary Katherine’s Estate. She had already delt the final blow to Chandler’s ability to obtain his personal family property in June of 2016. Months before she was reportedly just assigned to the Chandler merit panel, too. Judge Debra Lambert would not recuse from the Chandler Appeal. But wound up doing so, after I filed Chandler’s Petition for Rehearing. Along with five other Court of Appeal Judges.
The Kentucky Bar Association did not give me the name of a judge who reportedly turned my Petition for Rehearing in, for possible ethical violations. After the Investigation letter became a Complaint, and I personally requested a sworn Complaint, I was told that Chief Judge Joy Moore Kramer, was the Judge who submitted Chandler’s Petition for Rehearing. The Petition speaks for itself and is 100% factual. It further included an analysis of Chandler’s Brief, with the Court of Appeals Order.
SIX of FOURTEEN Court of Appeal Judges ultimately recused themselves, after Chandler’s Petition for Rehearing was filed. Yet not a single one of them, ever submitted a Sworn Complaint against me. No judge at any level, within any of the related Chandler cases ever sanctioned or admonished me. The Kentucky Bar Association did not call a single person to testify against me on a case that went on for nearly 9 years, thanks to Downey’s endless fabrications, and Downey, Moore, and Williams, illegal back door use of the probate case to eliminate Chandler’s interest to hold them all responsible for their illegal conduct.
Both Steven Downey and Thomas Kerrick, live and practice law in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Steven Downey and Thomas Kerrick are good friends, Downey even purchased Thomas Kerrick’s house. I took a case the United States Supreme Court, against Thomas Kerrick. That case is much like the Chandler case in that, the lower Court initially thwarted a fair opportunity to conduct complete and thorough discovery, prior to granting all named Defendants Summary Judgment. Thereafter, the Court of Appeal’s Order did not disagree with my analysis. Rather, they falsely alleged that I didn’t provide them with the proof that the two men working on the government contracts, the day that Anthony Stevenson was killed, were H-2A Farm Visa workers. Despite the fact that the visas of both H-2A Farmworkers, were attached to the brief that I filed.
➡️At the time that Chandler’s Motion seeking Discretionary Review with the Kentucky Supreme Court, Judge Debra Lambert was running for election to the Kentucky Supreme Court. The Order is egregiously unjust on its own. But even more so in comparison to the actual Briefs that were submitted. Not to mention, Debra Lambert denied all of Chandler’s Request to Submit a Reply to Downey’s deliberate fabrication. Again, Downey vehemently protested the inclusion of the two probate cases in order to conceal his illegal misappropriation of funds, and to illegally use the probate cases to extinguish Chandler’s interest to hold them all responsible for obstructing justice, throughout.
Downey was practically handpicked to defend former Union County State Representative, John Arnold, in the big sexual harassment scandal back around 2014. While he was representing John Arnold, Downey’s eldest brother Richard Downey, was appointed to be a special judge, by former Governor Steve Beshear, Sr. But it was Chief Justice John D. Minton, who offered up Richard Downey’s name to the governor. Both are from Bowling Green, Kentucky
➡️Justice Cunningham Retired on March 13, 2019. Chief Justice John Minton Jr., included Judge Rene Williams among the three names given to Governor Matt Bevin – to fill the open seat left on the Kentucky Supreme Court.
(This is where everyone seems to overlook that there is and always been one political party, that has maintained complete control over Kentucky’s Judicial System.) Just because a Republican Governor appoints judges to open judicial seats, he can ONLY CHOOSE from the three names given to them, by the Chief Justice of Kentucky Supreme Court.
The Governor is tasked with choosing between the three names that are provided to them, by the Chief of the Kentucky Supreme Court. The Chief of the Supreme Court is essentially where the bucks stops, in the state of Kentucky. The Governor is NEVER apprised of Judicial Conduct Complaints submitted against a Judge, or legitimate Kentucky Bar Association Complaints. Having the right people in the right places, can help conceal a great deal of Honest Service Fraud, and Self-serving judicial rulings for personal benefit, or to benefit others.
➡️Chief John D. Minton Jr., then recommended Judge Rene Williams to be appointed as Judge Nickell’s replacement on the Kentucky Court of Appeals. For the second time, Matt Bevin did not appoint Judge Rene Williams, to the open seat.
➡️Judge Christopher Shea Nickell, was the Court of Appeal Judge, who ultimately denied Chandler’s Petition for Reconsideration. After six other Court of Appeal Judges recused themselves, wanting no part of the case. He was elected to the Supreme Court of Kentucky, in November of 2019.
➡️Thereafter, Judge Williams on her own accord, ran for that open seat, but lost in the primary in May of 2020.
➡️In April of 2017, Justice John D. Minton was appointed to the Board of the State Justice Institute, by the President of the United States. He was the first ever Kentucky judge, to be appointed to the Board of the State Justice Insitute.
➡️Judge Kelly Thompson from Bowling Green, Ky, who was at the center of the Chandler case, was subsequently elected to the Kentucky Supreme Court in November 2022, after the retirement of former Chief Justice John D. Minton Jr., of Bowling Green, Kentucky. Again, Judge Kelly Thompson, employed the wife of Richard (Dick) Downey, Cynthia Downey as his Court of Appeals, case manager. JUST TO TOSS IN A LITTLE IRONY… Judge Kelly Thompson was clerking for the Court of Appeals, in 1973-1975, during the big sweep to Unify the Court System.
➡️Just before retirement, Chief Justice John D. Minton Jr., appointed Judge Rene Williams to, of all things, Judicial Ethics Committee in
