Illinois Appellate Court Intentionally Violates Constitution, Illinois Supreme Court Rule, & United States Supreme Court

The Illinois Appellate Court is proving how corrupt it is by snubbing its nose at United States Supreme Court precedent ("stare decisis"), snubbing its nose at the United States Constitution's due process and equal protection clauses, and violating Illinois Supreme Court Rule 607, all of which are the basis for the standard practice in American Law to provide free transcripts to indigent defendants so they can pursue their constitional right to a direct appeal of their conviction.

Corruption is pervasive in Illinois politics, Illinois courts, and Illinois policing agencies. American justice is a myth in Illinois. Illinois is a totalitarian police state.

Anyone who wishes to donate expertise at contacting the press, expertise at spreading the word on the Internet in order to bring the light of day to this corruption, pro bono legal expertise in assisting in bringing this case to the United States Supreme Court, or provide support in some other way, please contact me. I could use all the help I can get.

I have filed a criminal appeal on a case where I as a disabled person in a wheelchair was attacked by Cook County Sheriff Sgt. Anthony Salemi, he falsified his records, accused me of attacking him, committed perjury and I was wrongfully convicted:

The trial court declared me indigent and ordered the court reporter to file a free copy of the transcripts with the court for an appeal. The court reporter has refused to follow the court order. The trial judge refuses to enforce the order because he said he lost jurisdiction to the IL Appellate Court.

The IL Appellate court has six time refused to enforce the court order and compel the court reporter to file the transcripts or hold her in contempt. My appeal is therefore delayed due to the illegal and unconstitutional acts of the Illinois Appellate Court First District.

The costs of copying documents and writing them, mailing costs and delivery costs are being paid by loans or gifts from friends and relatives, but is not quite enough to continue all necessary litigation on all my issues. I am indigent due to disabilities and retaliatory false arrests and malicious prosecutions against me as I am a whistle blower in Illinois exposing government corruption and fraud.

The Illinois Supreme Court also has denied a motion for supervisory order to compel the court reporter to file the transcripts and compel the IL Appellate Court to enforce the order.

The IL Appellate Court granted the Cook County States Attorney's motion to compel me to pay for the transcripts and file them, instead of the court reporter. This is fraud upon the court as it violates a previous court order and is contempt as it also violates the United States Supreme Court holding (precedent) in a case where they ruled that indigent defendants are entitled under the due process and equal protection clauses of the U.S. Constitution to a free transcript for appeal. Illinois Supreme Court Rule 607 also mandates that indigent defendants are entitled to free transcripts filed with the court clerk by the court reporter.

Therefore both the Illinois Supreme Court and Illinois Appellate Court are committing illegal acts.

The Illinois Appellate Court has now vacated their order to compel me to file the transcripts as I moved for them to vacate order as they illegally granted the motion from the State two days too early according to IL Supreme Court rules. They also allowed me to file immediately (instanter) my response to the States Attorney's motion to compel me to file the transcripts. This response clearly spells out the illegal acts of the IL Appellate and IL Supreme Courts in refusing to uphold previous court orders, and statutory and constitutional rights as previously decided by the U.S. Supreme Court. These are impeachable intentional acts by these corrupt and dishonorable judges. I hope the IL Appellate Court recognizes its mistakes and doesn't just vacate the order to re-instate it several days later when the law allows them to make a decision.

It is incumbent upon the IL Appellate Court to compel the court reporter to file the transcripts and hold her in contempt if she fails to do so.

Another Corrupt Government Agency in Illinois, Cook County, and Chicago - the schools

The feds have issued search warrants for the records at the Illinois Secretary of State's Office and convicted George Ryan, Governor's Office and indicted Rod Blagojevic, Chicago City Hall and convicted Sorich, Illinois Department of Corrections for taking bribes and convicted the former Director, Illinois Department of Professional Regulation - investigation pending, Cook County Human Resources - investigation pending, etc., and now has issued search warrants for the Chicago Public Schools because of questionable placement of students in highly selective schools. The U.S. Attorney has issued a 98 page report detailing extensive pattern of civil rights violations at the Cook County Department of Corrections. Even college admissions are being looked at as corrupt in Illinois State schools.

I have successfully litigated against the Cook County Sheriff for violation of Freedom of Information Act. I am presently litigating in civil court against the Illinois Department of Corrections for violation of State laws in running a sham parole system that commits fraud in excess of $36 million, for failing to follow law as to Prisoner Review Board orders to parolees for mental health evaluation and treatment. I have won a suit against the Illinois Department of Corrections for violating the Freedom of Information Act. I have won a suit against the Illinois Human Rights Authority for failing to do their constitutional duty and investigate abuse of mental health patietns. I am suing AG Lisa Madigan, several judges and the State police for unlawful arrest and malicious prosecution in a scheme to deny mental health care to persons on Medicaid and to fraudulently attack legitimate mental health service providers so they can claim they are tough on fraud.

I and a number of whistle blowers have lots more evidence of fraud, kickbacks, and other corruption in Illinis, Cook County, and Chicago by corrupt officials. Please contact me and help financially support our efforts to expose and eliminate corruption in Illinois. Stop allowing 10 % of your tax dollars to be used for kickbacks and fraud. Stop allowing State, County, and City jobs to be given out according to race and patronage. Stop excess incarcerations and failure to rehabilitate that may make more prison jobs but makes Illinois more unsafe as unrehabilitated addicts and criminals are released and not properly supervised.

Illinois, Cook County, Chicago, and its suburbs are a cesspool of patronage, kickbacks, bribery, fraud and corruption at the expense of the taxpayers and to the detriment of all its citizens. Stop voting for the same corrupt officials over and over. Go to the polls and vote them out of office, including all those who inherited their positions. Stop allowing political dynasties to rule our State. Vote against the Burks, Madigans, the Daleys, the Strogers, the Beavers, the Steels, the Hasterts, the and their loyal servants, Dart, Alvarez etc.
