The Veterans agenda for 2008 is
very much a full plate for this
legislative season, but up and
coming as a new and possibly
parallel issue for our platform
may have to do with whether we
not only establish a working
and viable judicial misconduct
process for the Veterans to file
complaints into, but also, whether
or not that complaint process
has public reporting so that
Veterans can find out who the
bad judges are.

For now, the Court of Veterans
Appeals and Appeals for Federal
Circuit, both do have regular
Bar Association-driven judicial
complaint processes in place
for Veterans to utilize when
necessary. But there does not
seem to be any oversight tracking
or public information on whether
or not some judges are routinely
complained on and then nothing
is done against them.

Wouldn't ya wanna know this kind
of stuff ?? If 25 Veterans before
you had all filed complaints on
a certain judge, and then nothing
was done on those complaints, would
you want to know this information
and maybe call for a House or
Senate hearing on the process itself??

There is no process in place right
now at all for judges (Raters) either
at the VARO or BVA levels. But to
the extent that we can push this
advocacy through in our favor to
Veterans, that too should be fully
trackable and reportable so that
bad judges could easily be fingered
by Vet Activists and called before
an Oversight subcommittee. Don't
ya think?

I will start lacing this overall
debate with this new idea with
this years legislative dialogue
down in Washington to start building
the yellow brick road perhaps
for next year. But it's out
there for consideration right now
from all of our VFJ Activists to
make this issue their own.

This system is rigged to hide,
conceal, and not speak to breaches
and human rights violations inside
this Totalitarian VA disability
rating system. So it behooves us
to not only pursue advocacies which
establishes a new complaint process,
but also makes available a public
tracking database so that Veterans
can figure out if some of the VA
Raters are just plain getting away
with Vet Murder with nobody minding
the store.

Right now, all existing reporting
process is almost exclusively limited
to other VA employees, and not the
Veterans who are the medical patients.
It is here that the push for justice
has to occur.

VA related judges and Raters have
had a free ride up until now, and
it's time we tighten the reigns
on their sorry necks and start
getting this system under control.

I agree, but,unless veterans,join together, across the whole us,we can read put our replies on this, forom,shake out heads up and down. BUT the wheel that squeak,s gets the greast. .until we reach that point, no topic will ,help us unless we are ready, to open the door.And,unless we join ,as a group, one person, will not be heard, You all seened, the vet, who went to washington, on CNN,he got compensation, why, becaush he did something about It. He got cnn to report It, now think about IHIS,If 3,000, veterans or more,did go to washington, It will draw a lot of attention, and the newaspapers, will come, a few of us might be arreated,maybe, a vet In A wheelchair how are the people of the us, going to recact to this? WE NEED TO GET ATTENTION, BETTY PRIAM
