Michigan Poor About To Lose Access To Due Process

If people thought due process in Michigan courts did not exist in child welfare, well, it looks like the
last avenue for due process is about to be ripped from the entire Bridge card carrying population.

The State Courts attempts to expand its wrath of fear beyond the legal community to the poor.

If you believes there are pro bono attorneys that will donate their time to represent poor individuals who, mostly have civil actions against the State [i.e. foster care], I will ask you to take a mental competency evaluation.

The Courts are the ones whose actions should be considered vexatious by even suggesting a court rule such as this.

But, then again, that's what you call the power of special interests.

Michigan Court Proposed Rule Change For Indigent Filings
When one possesses the Bridge Card (SNAP), it is actually the point of access to the judicial system and due process. This is instant indigent status, even allowing for discounts on Freedom of Information Act requests.


Now, the Michigan Courts want to jump the gun and make judicial decisions based on an instant complaint?

Oh, the omnipotence.


So, because someone does not properly word a complaint and is poor, there is no chance for due process because a judge can deny someone to proceed in forma pauperis (declaration of poverty).


I bet in some situations, judges will deny based upon the legitimacy of the complaint and call it vexatious as an excuse to get rid of it.


The Michigan State Bar is in opposition and so am I.
