JustiaGate: Say It Aint So, Carl Malamud.

Justia CEO Tim Stanley has a doppelgänger named Carl Malamud. Back in 2007, Stanley blogged about Malamud as follows:

“Our friend & hero Carl Malamud stopped by the “Justia offices” to talk about his new public interest public information project…. making the case law and codes of the United States of America (state and federal) freely accessible in a public domain archive…This archived data can then be used and worked on by the folks at Cornell, Google, Stanford…. and everyone!“

And Malamud made good on that promise. Whereas, Justia is a private enterprise offering free legal research with all the modern bells and whistles of hyper-linking and Google analytics, Public.Resource.org is a barebones public domain which associates all of its case URL’s with “courts.gov”. Malamud’s use of “courts.gov” is truly misleading in that it gives the appearance his site has a true governmental “seal of approval“, but it doesn’t. Despite such icky behavior, Malamud has charmed a lot of people.

The New York Times published a story entitled, “Score One For The Web’s Don Quixote“, about Malamud’s quixotic attempts to bring every US legal document public for free. And Wired Magazine did a profile on Malamud which included this interesting bit of data:

” ‘West makes billions of dollars selling stuff we want to give away for free,’ Stanley boasts…

His company purchased and digitized all the Supreme Court decisions, put up the first free search engine for them, and donated them to PublicResource.org. Now Justia’s working with Cornell University to throw some Web 2.0 tools into the mix, including wiki pages for decisions…”

(Keep that reference to Justia working with Cornell on your desktop, we’ll come back to it shortly.) Tim Stanley is one of five on the Board of Directors of Malamud’s Public.Resource.Org. And Justia is listed as top benefactor as well.

Together, it cannot be denied, the pair are the Robin Hood and Friar Tuck of the free government document movement. Malamud was also very instrumental in helping Justia defeat Oregon’s copyright claim litigation. His “Ten Rules For Radicals include:

“This is thus my second rule for radicals, and that is when the authorities ﬁnally ﬁre that starting gun—and do something like send you tapes—run as fast as you can, so when they get that queasy feeling in their stomach and have second thoughts, it is too late to stop.”

We shall see whether this alleged passion for open information and preservation is extended to a review of Malamus’ publication of public domain cases. We do know that his sidekick, Tim Stanley, doesn’t believe such freedom of information principles should apply to Justia since he’s removed all prior versions of Justia’s entire body of US Supreme Court case-law from the Wayback Machine. And in doing so, Stanley is guilty of the very thing Malamud warns about in his Rule #2 above.

This is an excerpt! Far more on this story is at Donofrio's site: http://naturalborncitizen.wordpress.com/2011/11/11/justiagate-say-it-aint-so-carl-malamud/

Short??

LOL You ask more than you know!

Justia is a site with a search engine from Google called the Google Mini. It is has Google analytics. Search for a SCOTUS case and you will get a Justia link, they leverage Google, and bloggers use Google.

Justia redacted the Name “Minor v. Happersett” out of dozens of cases at its site, and redacted relevant text out of some of those cases which only reinforced the definition found in Minor, in fact it got even more specific, stating that Natural Born Status was only important in determining qualifications for POTUS.

Obama does NOT qualify under that LEGAL definition.

So here is Justia, which is a partner of Open.Resource.org, in fact it has the CEO and founder of Justia on it’s board. Justia in fact, gets undated files through Open.Resource.org.

Tim is a protégé of Carl Malamud, the founder of Open.Resource. Carl was the former CTO – Chief Technology Officer for … wait for it… The Center for American Progress http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_for_American_Progress once run by John Podesta, and funded in part by George Soros. Just google Carl Malamud and The Center for American Progress.

Yeah. You got it. That’s the connection. BAM Right there. The citations and text removed at Justia were SURGICAL in their precision. Not to mention the fact that Justia has taken its who Supreme Court Server off the Wayback Machine. No one can see it now.

It is quite possibly the biggest story of the year.

Thanks again Danae. Here is my attempt to summarize what has gone on: What was the objective? Before and after November 2008 many questions were raised about Obama’s elibibility, as they were raised about McCain's eligibility. Clearly, few understood the Constitution's eligibility requirements for president,or Green Card carrying Calero would not have been on the presidential ballot. We were told “The Constitution nowhere defines the term “natural born citizen.” That should have been the first warning, since how many understood that the Constitution avoids defining terms because that would render it dependent upon an ever-changing language. You may find one partial definition if you read carefully, but our framers explicitly intended that definitions come from our common-language and common-law at the time of our framers.

When Obama’s supporters legally shielded all of his documents, and produced a suspicious scan of a birth document, that became the focus. Some searched for the definition in our Supreme Court Archives, finding many references, such as Chief Justice Marshall's citation to Law of Nations in his decision in “The Venus, 12 US 253.” That, the cadre pointed out, was dictum - not necessary to the decision. Such was the case in about a dozen other cases. But there was one case in which the definition of natural born citizen was the core of the Case, Minor v. Happersett, 88 US 152.

Legal technocrats, people who appear to have been sponsored by, who else, George Soros, men and women who preached the value of transparency based upon public access to the core of our legal precedence, Supreme Court case documents. People who have sponsored symposia at virtually all of our most prestigious law schools, Berkeley, Yale, Cornell, Harvard, ..., knew exactly which cases would support the Supreme Court's unanimous decision in Minor v. Happersett as precedence, and they corrupted just those citations - “mangled” them, in the words of Justia.com’s CEO, Tim Stanley

The evidence has been captured by a number of legal sleuths, most of whom have passed their evidence to Leo Donofrio. If there was any doubt that the crime was committed, the subsequent blocking by Justia of all of its Supreme Court Archives should eliminate that doubt. Besides, some those who still believe in the importance of our legal foundations captured the pre-Summer 2008 documents offered by Justia, documents which did not show the “mangling” of citations to Minor v. Happersett. Jusia even corrupted the numerical citations which would have led to Minor v. Happersett, so that those searching on the web would get no hint of the precedence - stare decicis - established by Minor.

Look through the Youtube presentations on the Center for American Progress channel. You will see videos of dozens of lectures by leaders both from legal academia and information start-ups, such as the CEO of Twitter, all under the auspices of “law.gov,” a project with which Stanley, Malamud (who was Chief Information Officer for Center for American Progress before being proposed by NYT and Tim Stanley as Director of the US Printing Office). Center for American Progress has been described as a Heritage Foundation for progressives, and is a Soros-funded organization.

Finally, connecting what is clearly a conspiracy to hide the law, a case with language that leaves no doubt of the precedence of Minor. Ex Parte Lockwood, had the key paragraph removed, not just at Justia.come, but at The Supreme Court collection of Cornell University's Law School. Guess who was working with Cornell University? Tim Stanley. Any doubt that our legal systems have been penetrated and corrupted?

Leo Donofrio has done an amazing job of revealing what may just be the tip of the iceberg, the concealment of an ineligible president by progressive/communist lawyers who have prominent roles in our major law schools. It is impossible to believe that no Cornell faculty knew what was being done. Read the Donfrio site to see what was deleted from Re: Lockwood.

Perhaps to his credit, Professor Bob Berring, professor of legal information at UC Boalt Law School, participating in a Malamud, and thus Soros-organized series at law schools around the country, “Law.gov,” warns all his students of the potential for corruption of legal information by assigning as an exercise the comparison of citations from Lexis, Westlaw, and the three “free” sites, two of which were founded by Tim Stanley, FindLaw and Justia. If you watch the Berring session, pay attention to the Q&A where Tim Stanley asked the first question. Berring clearly understood the risk.

One hopes that Berring’s students, even if they are apparently afraid to speak publically about the consequences of depending upon the progressive archive of Supreme Court documents, have learned of the wisdom of Berring’s exercise. Now, which law schools in the US believe our legal structure has meaning, or do they all presume that the law is a living body of knowledge, as many believe the Constitution is a living document, changable with the politics of the party in power.

One point which Leo Donofrio doesn't mention ( http://naturalborncitizen.wordpress.com ), is that besides a tap into the public trough for investment capital, Stanley didn't found two legal search archives just to promote socialism. As Al Capone once explained, he robbed banks because that's where the money was kept. Legal practice is where there is lots of money (more law students than science and engineering students combined). Court documents are owned by citizens, though there may be some charges for access. Stanley is a “VAR,” or value added reseller of Google services, and uses its “cloud.” With little capital investment he had a chance to become the preferred archive for law schools around the country, and was well on his way. He may be a “progressive,” clearly connected, if not, like Malamud, a “fellow” of the Soros/Podesta’s Center for American Progress; but a case can be made for the profit in corrupting our legal foundations and providing a for-profit service of altering legal documents to order.
