U.S. Constitution for 21st Century

Under the new Constitution, a SUPREME JUDICIAL MINISTER (comparable in status to the President) will be elected by voter-citizens to provide effective management, administration, coordination, and accountability for court systems and judicial processes--not now existent.

LAW Enforcement, SECURITY, and JUSTICE
Under the proposed U.S. Constitution for 21^st Century and Beyond, a new National Judicial System for Law and Justice will provide for more fair, effective, stronger LAW, SECURITY, and JUSTICE. Major features for improvement and effectiveness of the new system include:

Institution of a new, independent National Judicial System for Law and Justice capable of enforcing law and administering justice for the nation--including the general public, as well as Executive and Legislative Branches of Government. Among other values, this will eliminate the necessity for appointment of over-costly, questionably-effective, or failed "Independent Counsels" to handle legal matters which are the responsibility of the Department of Justice.

A new SUPREME JUDICIAL MINISTER (comparable in status to the President) will be elected by voter-citizens to provide effective management, administration, coordination, evaluation, and accountability of court systems and judicial processes--not now existent.

All Federal JUSTICES, JUDGES, and other JUDICIAL OFFICERS' appointments will be based on legal and judicial qualifications by the Supreme Judicial Minister--not on political considerations, such as appointment of justices to the Supreme Court and other courts by the President.

The U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL--chief law enforcement officer of the nation--will be appointed as a permanent, career officer based on law enforcement, legal, and judicial qualifications--supplanting a succession of short-term political appointments made by changing administrations. With priorities established by the White House, the U.S. Department of Justice often is used to keep high level officials of both Republican and Democratic Administrations out of jail--rather than focusing upon enforcing laws against crime in the nation.

The DEPARTMENT of JUSTICE, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, will be transferred from the politically dominated Executive Branch to a new, independent, legal-judicial National Judicial System for Law and Justice--to prohibit political mismanagement of investigative and judicial processes.

The Federal PRISON SYSTEM will be converted to an inmate-work-for-a-living, product producing, self-supporting system to supplant the existing, non-effective, over-costly system that fails to deter--and often fosters--crime. The existing system often allows criminals to live for years in comfortable correctional institutions with food and nutrition, television, libraries, gymnasiums, educational, and other opportunities--far more luxurious than opportunities afforded lower-income levels in society. The cost to taxpayers ranges up to $25,000 a year for "don't want to work--let's commit crime" violators of laws. Often, prison life offers a higher standard of living for criminals than the non-prison world.

A new NATIONAL COUNCIL for CONSTITUTIONALITY of LAWS will provide for ENFORCEMENT of PRINCIPLES of the new U.S. Constitution for 21^st Century and Beyond. This will safeguard citizens against perpetuation of unconstitutional laws and acts by the President and Congress, such as current, criminalistic monetary policy and corrupt tax laws.

Other valid and necessary improvements and advances in the judicial system

The National Judicial System for Law and Justice will transform a national environment of fear, insecurity, and crime into a climate of law, fairness, security, and justice.

Background…
In the 1800's, the famed criminal lawyer, Clarence Darrow, stated: "There is no justice in or out of the court system."

Still true in the late 1900's, justice remains unequal--or non-existent--for a high proportion of citizens.

Under the old Constitution, the existing Judicial Branch of Government has become an unmanaged, uncoordinated, unaccountable system of non-justice.

Article III, Section 1, reads:
"The Judicial power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme court, and in such inferior courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish."

Designating Congress as the provider and overseer of judicial processes, however, has proven a detrimental, dangerous, and disastrous failure. Decades of flawed legal and judicial processes, inequities in administration of law, and failure to administer "equal justice for all citizens" have demonstrated that the Congress does not--and cannot--provide adequate support for, or effectively oversee, a fair, equitable system of justice.

Inequities, deficiencies, and inadequacies of judicial processes include:

Lack of management, coordination, evaluation, or accountability of the judicial system

Appointment of Supreme Court Justices, as well as other judges, and other officers of the Federal Judiciary by the President, with consent of the Senate, on political--rather than legal-judicial--qualifications

Criminals escaping penalties for crimes through inadequate, under-staffed, or insufficiently-equipped police, courts, prisons, and other systems

Violation of "speedy trial" standards resulting in wasted years, or decades, for administration of justice

A flawed "Trial by Jury" system that results in decisions based on ignorance, evidence manipulation, lawyer trickery, and court failure

Inequitable and non-valid penalties imposed for differing violations of law: white collar, street, domestic battering, child abuse, and other crimes

Perpetuation of unconstitutional laws such as the anti-citizen, anti-economic, and anti-nation tax laws and monetary policy that foment crime

In 1886, Frederick Douglas, lecturer, writer, and abolitionist, warned the nation of impending crises caused by unjust subjugation of common citizens:
"…Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced…where any class is made to feel that society is in an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob, or degrade them, neither person nor property shall be safe…."

Perpetuation of a criminalistic, unconstitutional monetary policy and unfair, corrupt tax laws that "….oppress, rob, and degrade…." middle-and-lower-income citizens are major causes of rampant robbery, theft, drug trafficking, killings, and other crimes across the nation.
