Strategy has to be formulated in context with reality

Strategy has to be formulated in context with reality.   First:  All judicial officials are not corrupt.  Second:  All pubic officials are not corrupt.  Third: all the brains did not go to me (or you).

A broad target is like spitting in the wind.   You do not have either universal appeal or unlimited resources and therefore whatever goals you seek to attain you have to make them modest so that they are as a practical matter can be obtained.   As young lawyers we were told - a single lawyer fighting General Motors is going to get killed even if right, justice, and even the Divinity is in his corner.   GM has all the money in the world to spend, and all the people to advance their cause.   Pick only the fights that you have a reasonable probability that you can win.

I've concentrated on two cases:  The Sykes case 09 P 4585 and the Gore case.   Win, lose or draw I ride with them.    Judicial corruption is everywhere their are humans.  Legislation is not going to knock it out, nor are broad prosecutions; however, we can make it uncomfortable if we are smart.   Just about everyone on the e-mail list has a bone to pick.  Pick one or two of the best cases and using the same as a lode stone go after the individual miscreants tooth and nail.  (The Congressman from Alaska could care less about Barbara Stone! Gloria Sykes, etc - but he gives a damn about x who lives in his district as she could be difference between him retaining his seat or not).

Look up on goggle a fellow by the name of Martin Luther King.   Also look up the name Diane Nash.   They are our role models in the battle against corruption and in particular the defense against the raging war against the elderly and the disabled.
