Dear Fellow Australians,
The website of www.jail4judges.org sends out newsletters
by email to those who subscribe.
The April 12, 2001 edition has a quote from Thomas Jefferson
which seems timeless. It is:
"The germ of destruction of our nation is in the
power of the judiciary, an irresponsible body - working like gravity by night
and by day, gaining a little today and a little tomorrow, and advancing its
noiseless step like a thief over the field of jurisdiction, untilall shall
render powerless the checks of one branch over the other and will become as
venal and oppressive as the government from which we separated."
Thomas Jefferson 1821.
The Australian judiciary have declared Magna Carta to be
"obsolete" while State Parliaments have passed legislation giving
judges the power to deny trial by jury. Both acts are legally wrong.
Both acts are oppressive and sinister.
Yours sincerely,
John Wilson.
