“The Courts of Florida Belong to the People of Florida”  –Chief Justice Charles Canady

Following reports that Judges were closing their courtrooms to the public after getting increasingly uncomfortable with potentially embarrassing errors and outright bias, Chief Justice Canady has ordered corrective measures. The action was prompted by letters of protest challenging the ad hoc closed sessions. The Florida Press Association, ACLU and others joined in challenging the right to close the sessions.

Judges are getting increasingly nervous about their prior rulings, their current rulings and their future rulings. As evidence mounts that the foreclosure process has been fatally flawed, and increasing signs show that the reason the process was corrupted by pretender lenders was to cover up fatally defective so-called mortgage loans, the judicial system is stuck right in the middle of what might be the largest policy battle in American History. The Judiciary normally shuns policy debates, deferring such things to the legislative and executive branch.

However the finesse of the judiciary system is the cornerstone of the securitization battle. If pretender lenders are not allowed to proceed without proving cases they cannot ever prove, the results is a massive shift of wealth back to the middle class on a scale unknown in human history — except for the shift which preceded it from the middle class to the aristocracy. If the pretender lenders are allowed to proceed, it means discarding centuries of statutes, laws and precedents regarding title to real property, commerce, certainty in the marketplace and the power of government itself.

The showdown then is between government and private interests and the forum is the court system. At the core of the showdown is whether the citizens of this country will continue to have enough confidence in the entire government system to let it govern. That confidence is not only slipping away, recent events on the internet and on the ground show that people have gone from restless to getting organized. Justice Canady, recognizing the importance of the essential rights of the people has correctly instructed all Judges that their proceedings must be open to public and press scrutiny. This issue, in Florida at least, will not be settled behind closed doors.
