Recently, I cam across an enlightening post on Linked In by Attorney James W. Burdick
"I am a candidate for a seat on the Michigan Judicial Tenure Commission and, if you are a lawyer in Michigan, will appreciate your vote at the Michigan State Bar website."I stood back in aghast!
Now, if you do not remember, I have an issue with the Michigan Judicial Tenure Commission for being biased when it comes to protecting their financial conflicts of interests while presiding on the bench.

Michigan Judicial Tenure Commission Sucks
So, here is my other issue:The Michigan Judicial Tenure Commission violates voting rights.
That is correct, the people of the State of Michigan who have an issue with a judge have no rights, whatsoever, to have a voice in who decides the grievances against the judges who have violated their civil rights.
By and through a private organization, of which is completely operated under a veil of secrecy, a group of attorneys elected by its paid membership of fee licensed state attorneys who are beholden to no one but the Michigan Bar Association, will transfer only their voices to an elite judicial conclave to run and oversee the domestic policies of the State of Michigan.
But wait, it gets better.
Not only are the people excluded from the vote, they are categorically banned from the voting process.
How so? Well, t'was by accident I ran across this public campaign pitch on Linked In.
No where in the Michigan Constitution does it state that a private organization shall run the courts.
Hell, it is not even mentioned in the U.S. Constitution.
Ergo, no money, no justice. No law license, no voting rights.s
The pro se litigant has no chance in a court of law as judges will discredit one based upon the lack of economic resources to conduct a civil case in the fashion accustomed by the State Bar.
The people do not possess voting rights, but have no right of dissent, otherwise known as the right to petition for removal from this psuedo-elected office.
As seen here, there are other seats on the Commission which are elected by different groups of elected judges and appointment of the Governor.
No wonder the Michigan Emergency Manager Law went through. It has been in existence through the court model for years.
Judicial Tenure Commission
The Judicial Tenure Commission serves to promote the integrity of the judicial process and preserve public confidence in the courts. Michigan created the Commission when voters passed an amendment to Article 6, § 30 of the Michigan Constitution in August, 1968. The enabling court rule is now codified in MCR 9.200.
Time to amend.
Time to amend.
The Commission strives to hold state judges, magistrates, and referees accountable for their misconduct without jeopardizing or compromising the essential independence of the judiciary. The basis for Commission action is a violation of the Code of Judicial Conduct or Rules of Professional Conduct, which are published with the Michigan Rules of Court.
