For years now the Expose Corrupt Courts Blogspot and other online entities have been carrying the torch of liberty and a cry for justice arduous in the NYC area. A variety of reports include "Tembeckjian's Corrupt Judicial 'Ethics' Commission Out of Control" and "Wall Street Journal: When our Trusted Officials Lie". Now comes a new finger point from the associated website "Ethicsgate" of the story of a bold civil rights attorney (Robert Tandy) in New Jersey who is calling for the impeachment of a judge who discriminates against female mothers (the questionable Honor Paul Escandon).
Women wage campaign to impeach New Jersey judge
Ethicsgate did not originate the story, it merely repeats/adds the local NYC area ABC TV station story titled "Women wage campaign to impeach New Jersey judge" - to Expose Corrupt Court/ Ethicsgate plethora of notable cases. WABC of Monmouth Co. N.J. is to be commended for doing reports that other stations shy away from. It is a wonderful thing to see a TV Station get involved in the 1st stage fights for justice. As reporter Sarah Wallace remarks;
- A group of women who say they've been discriminated against by a judge in Monmouth County, New Jersey are now trying to get him impeached. They've filed a petition with the state assembly to have the judge removed.
What's interesting is the role that social media has had in bringing these women together to share their stories. It started with one mother who thought she was alone in her legal battle with Judge Paul Escandon, but she discovered there are dozens with similar experiences.

Rachel Alitoff utilized social networking to find other victims
ABC reporter Sarah Wallace reports on the key story of Rachel Alitoff and how she was possibly victimized by a discriminatory justice (Judge Paul Escandon). If it was abuse, it was extreme abuse by His Honor; because Rachel Alitoff lost custody of her son and Rachel went through hell. As the ABC story reports;
Alitoff temporarily lost custody of her son, now 4, when her divorce case appeared before Judge Escandon in Monmouth County, who's now the target of a Facebook campaign to have him removed. He's also the subject of a legal petition just filed by Alitoff and several other women claiming their legal rights were violated.
ALITOFF: "My child was taken away by a Judge that is biased against women and that can happen to anyone."
WALLACE: "A lot of people think there must be a reason.
ALITOFF: "People think that it means you are a bad mom, I have no criminal history, there were no parenting issues, this could happen to anyone. I don't have access to anything, it's as if I walked away from a fire."
Fortunately, every once in a while, there are people who don't take issues of tyranny, cronyism and corruption as par for the course. Rachel Alitoff happens to be a fighter and she reached out on Craigslist and heard from other victims of the same - apparently bad faith - justice.
