The JudgeMental Podcast – EP 37 Become the Media
Episode Notes
In this episode of The JudgeMental Podcast, Christine and Hugh dive deep into the troubling lack of transparency in the family court system, focusing on recent emergency orders and judicial decisions that have gone unpublished and unchecked. They discuss the case of Judge Lauren Ogden, highlighting repeated interventions by the Court of Appeals and the alarming consequences for families caught in the system.
Key topics include:
The hidden nature of emergency court orders and the barriers to public access
The role of the media and the legal community in holding judges accountable
Real-life impacts on families, including financial and emotional tolls
The ethical obligations of attorneys and judges to report misconduct
The broader implications for due process and public trust in the judiciary
Christine and Hugh also share their personal reactions to the cases, discuss the importance of transparency, and call for greater accountability within the legal system. They encourage listeners—especially those in the legal field—to take action and demand openness from the courts.

:We're Hugh and Christine, the Minds
Behind Judgy, the revolutionary app
3
:that empowers you to judge the judges.
4
:It's pastime for judicial accountability
and transparency within the courts.
5
:Prepare for sharp insights, candid
critiques, and unshakable honesty from
6
:two lawyers determined to save the system.
7
:We need some justice.
8
:Justice, my fine justice.
9
:And I wanna ring, be in public.
10
:I wanna ring, be in public crowd.
11
:Yeah.
12
:Hugh: I'm worried that
this kind of stuff is just.
13
:Is just happening and it's
going unchecked, and that if
14
:there is any intervention from
the upper courts, it's hidden.
15
:It's not published.
16
:They're keeping people from knowing
and it's, and this isn't just, it's
17
:hard to find, it's intentional.
18
:These are not published, so the
public doesn't know about these
19
:grave constitutional violations
that are being committed by
20
:people that the public votes on.
21
:Christine: All right.
22
:Welcome to the Judgemental Podcast.
23
:We're gonna talk about the backlash
that is the reaction to Judge
24
:Lauren Ogden's most recent decision.
25
:Hugh: Yeah, I,
26
:and since we've looked at
that and gone back through.
27
:You know, we made some comments
about how many times the court of
28
:appeals has had to intervene or
has over overturned her this year.
29
:And we went back through and
found plenty that we missed more.
30
:Yeah.
31
:More from just the last couple months
where she was overturned or they had
32
:to enter, you know, orders removing her
from a case because of apparent bias.
33
:And it's actually worse than we thought.
34
:And I know we've talked a lot
about this lately, but I think
35
:it warrants more discussion.
36
:Christine: Yeah.
37
:And it's almost impossible to believe.
38
:So, one, I wanna know,
where is the media on this?
39
:Okay.
40
:Yeah.
41
:Two, where is the local bar?
42
:And three, what I realized, you
know how we said we've never seen
43
:an emergency order before, right?
44
:Hugh: Yeah I mean, I'd heard about
them, but I can't remember the context.
45
:It was something related to.
46
:You know, emergency custody type stuff,
but I mean, I, it wasn't in one of my
47
:cases and I can't even re, you know,
I just heard rumors on it dinging.
48
:Yeah.
49
:Christine: That's why.
50
:Yeah.
51
:So here's the reality is the court
of Appeals is not publishing these
52
:emergency orders on their minutes,
53
:Hugh: so people don't
know that it's going on.
54
:I That makes no sense.
55
:So the reason we got
56
:Christine: it is because
it was given to us.
57
:But we have no idea how
often this is happening.
58
:Is it happening in other jurisdictions?
59
:The court of appeals needs
to be more transparent.
60
:All of this stuff needs to be much more
accessible to the general public period.
61
:Hugh: I have a feeling that we're
going to make a concerted effort to
62
:find out how often this is happening
and report back to everybody.
63
:Not exactly sure what that's going
to look like, but you also mentioned.
64
:Discussing media coverage, of
which, of course there's none now.
65
:There's good reason for that.
66
:Because it's not, well, as you just
pointed out, unless someone hands it to
67
:them, there's no way for them to know it.
68
:Christine: Well, and someone
has handed a lot to them.
69
:Hugh: Sure.
70
:No, then that's different.
71
:But I mean, we, this has probably
happened a lot more than we know.
72
:It's not published.
73
:There's no reason for anyone
to know it unless it's.
74
:No circulated by someone within
the case, and we're gonna find
75
:out how often this has happened.
76
:I would bet that if it has happened,
it's happened in the same court.
77
:But I don't know that
Well, here's the thing
78
:Christine: though, with the
media, I mean, they had no problem
79
:reporting on Matt Bevin, and
regardless of how you feel about
80
:Matt Bevin, that is a partisan issue.
81
:They covered that case out of
Angela Johnson's courtroom.
82
:They showed up with
cameras reported on it.
83
:You had editorials.
84
:You had an editorial from a guy at
The Courier Journal who makes me just
85
:wanna jump into oncoming traffic.
86
:And for reference, I've been hit by a
car, so I understand the ramifications
87
:of being hit by a car, but he's
like, oh my gosh, can you believe
88
:that you could cross examinee the
alleged victim if you're pro se?
89
:It happens every fucking day.
90
:Media,
91
:Hugh: yeah.
92
:Christine: Every.
93
:Day, get down there, do your job,
stop doing McKay Chauvin's, you
94
:know, bitch work and puff pieces
on how Durwin Webb and Denise
95
:Brown do DV court and do your job.
96
:Hugh: Yeah, I mean there, there
needs to be coverage of this.
97
:This is some, I mean, the one that
we discussed what, two podcasts ago?
98
:Where she basically had a powwow with
a grandma and came up with a plan
99
:and entered an order for her to go
snatch a kid that she has no right
100
:to have custody to, no standing to
have custody to from another state.
101
:And sort of secretly
take the kid from school.
102
:So the parent only finds out when
they go to pick their kid up.
103
:Like that's, yep.
104
:That's insane.
105
:That's newsworthy.
106
:That's something that
people need to know about.
107
:It's clear that the courts themselves
don't want people to know about
108
:it because this isn't anywhere.
109
:So the court of appeals, you
can't go find this opinion.
110
:You can't go download it like you
can on the rest of their docket.
111
:These cases are public record.
112
:There's no reason why
this order isn't there.
113
:The order unless one of the parties
publish sorry files it within
114
:the actual trial court record
that the public can go look at.
115
:It doesn't exist there either.
116
:So when we went and looked,
it wasn't in the trial record.
117
:So this order.
118
:Is a secret to anyone that's not involved
in the case, and there's absolutely no
119
:reason for that because listen I get that,
you know, courts might wanna protect.
120
:Personal identifiers and you
know, that kind of stuff from
121
:things that are within in cases.
122
:But this is the most important thing
to be transparent about when the system
123
:isn't working, where judges make mistakes.
124
:That's what people need to know
about more than anything else.
125
:And this not only should be.
126
:Available for people to look at and read.
127
:I think the, these kinds of violations
need to be highlighted publicly so
128
:people know what's really going on.
129
:I mean, how are you expecting voters
to vote on people who act appropriately
130
:as judges or who are fit for the job?
131
:If you don't know about the most
egregious errors, where another
132
:court has to step in and say.
133
:You know, unlike normal where we
say, oh, you did something wrong.
134
:We're throwing it back to you to do
something, we're gonna step in and
135
:actually change something in this
case and order something immediately
136
:because you've made such a bad error.
137
:How are you keeping that from voters?
138
:Christine: I think it's bigger than this.
139
:Like I think quite frankly, I have
an ethical obligation to report this
140
:to the Judicial Conduct Commission.
141
:I think you do.
142
:I think anyone with a
law license listening.
143
:Yep.
144
:Agree.
145
:I think every judge at the court
of appeals, because if this
146
:isn't, you know, we have the quote
unquote rat rule here in Kentucky.
147
:Which means we have to, you know, report
bad behavior of other members of the bar.
148
:But when I listen to our podcast,
you know, I'm the one that's
149
:typically more dramatic theatrical.
150
:And when listening, you are
just like, this is kidnapping.
151
:This is crazy.
152
:This is,
153
:Hugh: yeah.
154
:I mean, I'm a parent and if
I'm just trying to put myself
155
:in this mother's shoes.
156
:Where you go to school and find out your
kid is gone and you don't get to see your
157
:child for many months and it's based on
something that is absolutely illegal.
158
:I mean, it doesn't follow the law.
159
:I mean, it is not to say that it.
160
:It amounts to a crime without thinking
more about it, but it's about the
161
:closest thing that I can come up with.
162
:It's certainly against the law.
163
:It's against very simple laws that are the
first thing you learn about in family law.
164
:I mean, the first thing you
learn in second year law school,
165
:when you take an elective family
law class like this is this.
166
:It is just, yeah.
167
:It's really unbelievable, but it's
really unbelievable that it is hidden
168
:Christine: and it's unbelievable
how many times this particular judge
169
:has had court of appeals opinions
that are just essentially, if
170
:you're a WWE fan body, slamming her
like you have, and it's always on,
171
:Hugh: but it's on due process.
172
:This isn't like, oh
man, you made a mistake.
173
:You forgot to swear people in.
174
:You gotta go through and do this and swear
them in again, which is embarrassing.
175
:And it's a technical issue because
things weren't done on the record.
176
:There's lots of little things that
people can re, can get reversed on,
177
:but it's always due process, meaningful
opportunity to be heard over and over.
178
:Every single decision that I've read
about where she's been reversed,
179
:whether published or not, or emergency
or Ritz or disqualifying, it touches
180
:on meaningful opportunity to be heard.
181
:And even the one that we, the, we've
been reviewing where she was removed from
182
:a case where it showed that, you know,
after denying a domestic violence order,
183
:she just started basically saying, I'm
gonna grant joint custody unless you do
184
:something that you know and pointing at
one party without having hearing anything.
185
:They don't specifically
mention due process, but that's
186
:exactly what's happening.
187
:The, they removed her because
it, apparent bias for pre-judging
188
:a case without having.
189
:Any evidence in front of her to prejudge
that case, to give that person that she
190
:is basically preaching to the opportunity
to be heard before She, you know, tells
191
:them that they're, you know, they have to
go get a drug test and they're at risk.
192
:Christine: Yeah.
193
:And on that case, that was actually
the alleged victim that she basically
194
:threatened, like, you're gonna
have to co-parent, or I'm gonna
195
:have to consider other options.
196
:Yeah.
197
:And the alleged perpetrator,
although the DVO was dismissed,
198
:I think it was overturned, but
she had been arrested for dv.
199
:And she had contacted him from
the jail being like, I'm going to.
200
:unalive you, and she just said,
well, I was drunk at the time.
201
:Hugh: Well, I think there had been a, an
admission on the criminal aspect of it.
202
:So yeah, I mean there were just a lot
of things that are suspect, but in it,
203
:it still boils down to the same thing.
204
:You have someone who is.
205
:Who is being treated badly by the court
without an opportunity to be heard.
206
:And it may just be, okay, you gotta go get
a drug test, or I'm pre-judging this case.
207
:Nothing, you know, major
has happened in that one.
208
:Or it could be, well, I'm
just gonna go steal your kid.
209
:Steal.
210
:I said, steal not just take, because
this is a child in another jurisdiction
211
:that you did you issued an an order
changing custody without consideration
212
:of the custody laws and without any.
213
:Opportunity to be heard
from the other side.
214
:To me, that's you've stolen a child.
215
:So that's the range of
consequences for these violations.
216
:But just in the past two days since
we've recorded the last couple
217
:podcasts it's not just been one case
that we've found that we overlooked.
218
:There's been multiple more just
from the past couple months where
219
:she's been overturned and due
process mentioned in every one.
220
:Christine: Yep.
221
:And she just does whatever she wants.
222
:She goes with her gut, but, and these for
the listeners, you know, I never filed an
223
:appeal on a family law case that I had.
224
:I, if I did anything, I sent them out.
225
:Right.
226
:You're talking about people
that had the wherewithal, the
227
:funds, the quick turnaround time.
228
:To be able to go seek a remedy.
229
:From the Court of Appeals.
230
:I mean, it would be interesting to
just sit in on her, you know, primarily
231
:like pro se dockets and just see how
she's violating the constitution.
232
:Hugh: Yeah.
233
:I am terrified that this
is happening all the time.
234
:People without attorneys.
235
:I mean, honestly, most attorneys
that are just regular practitioners
236
:over there in Family Court wouldn't
have understood exactly how to
237
:navigate this, wouldn't have fully
understood how to get that emergency
238
:relief from the Court of Appeals.
239
:You had somebody who, you know, handles
all kinds of complex litigation.
240
:And as part of a firm that handles
really big complex cases that knew
241
:what to do in this case even though it
seems to have taken, you know, I think
242
:the child was taken out of Nevada in
May, and it was just in the last couple
243
:days that emergency relief was granted.
244
:So sometime passed, but the great
majority of people that are in front of
245
:this judge don't have that opportunity,
wouldn't know what to do, wouldn't
246
:be able to get this kind of relief.
247
:I'm worried that this
kind of stuff is just.
248
:Is just happening and it's
going unchecked, and that if
249
:there is any intervention from
the upper courts, it's hidden.
250
:It's not published.
251
:They're keeping people from knowing
and it's, and this isn't just, it's
252
:hard to find, it's intentional.
253
:These are not published, so the
public doesn't know about these
254
:grave constitutional violations
that are being committed by
255
:people that the public votes on.
256
:Christine: Yes.
257
:And we're talking about children.
258
:And then just to even like,
extrapolate it further, like how
259
:much did this mom have to spend
on attorneys to get her kids back?
260
:That was taking away from the little
girl and the siblings and the mom
261
:trying to make a living, you know?
262
:And I looked up the court net and that.
263
:The mom had actually filed a domestic
violence order against grandma previously.
264
:Now it had been dismissed, but it's
like there, the signs are there that
265
:this is a toxic family situation.
266
:Yeah.
267
:And then was that little girl
indoctrinated by grandma,
268
:and this was all done.
269
:Strategically with the approval of an
elected official with fucking immunity.
270
:Hugh: Yeah, immunity.
271
:And what that means is that parent has
virtually no chance of getting reimbursed
272
:any money from this grave violation.
273
:Certainly not from the courts
or from the government.
274
:It would be I would imagine.
275
:That this judge isn't going to grant
fees in this case from the grandma
276
:or her attorney because that would
be the judge admitting to, you know,
277
:that this whole process was incorrect
and amounted to grounds for fees.
278
:So, I don't know.
279
:I don't know that we should
ever expect a judge to do that.
280
:Christine: Well, I think that the
judge I don't think, I think she
281
:acted outside the scope when she
strategized to take this child.
282
:Yeah.
283
:I actually think that if there's ever
been a case that immunity could be
284
:breached, this could be one of 'em.
285
:And when you don't have immunity too, and
you can be sued civilly, that means that
286
:you could have a judgment against you.
287
:And this judge has deep pockets
and quite frankly, you know.
288
:Again, we talk about on the last
podcast when we did this, you
289
:know, Ogden is not she's always
presented herself as a kind person.
290
:Clearly that's not the case in
implementation, but there need to
291
:be massive consequences for this.
292
:I'm not kidding when I say that it should
be investigated by law enforcement.
293
:Hugh: Yeah I agree with that.
294
:And our constitution, actually,
there are sections of the Kentucky
295
:Constitution that allow for
prosecution of judges for, grossly.
296
:I, and I don't remember what the actual
terms are, but miscarriage of their job.
297
:So there, there are limits to
the immunity that exists and.
298
:Like I said I believe we're gonna find
even more, and, we haven't reported on
299
:some of the other due process violations
that we found from the last three or
300
:four months out of this same court
for cases that have been reversed.
301
:But I have a feeling there's
more emergency type stuff that we
302
:don't know about because they're,
it's not being published, it's
303
:being hidden from the public.
304
:Christine: Yes.
305
:And so I got tagged in a bunch of
stuff from the media for people
306
:trying to get like W-L-K-Y-W-D-R-B
wave three to look into this.
307
:Please do write bad stuff about me.
308
:I don't care, but look
into the facts of the case.
309
:Do you know what I'm saying?
310
:Yeah, absolutely.
311
:And then the second.
312
:Thing I wanna look talk about like
briefly is just we know that the
313
:judges were away at judicial conference
and I've said for at least two
314
:years now, judges are the new cops.
315
:And literally after this emergency
order's out, everyone's talking about it.
316
:One of the judge posted like, love
my colleagues, best colleagues ever.
317
:Something like that.
318
:And they are going to back each
other no matter what they did.
319
:Absolutely.
320
:Hugh: Yeah, absolutely.
321
:I mean, imagine how many brunches
and and luncheons that you would
322
:miss out on if you you didn't
back, you know, judge Ogden.
323
:I mean, it's, I mean, my
god's, it's incredible.
324
:It's
325
:Christine: Andre's not
even that expensive.
326
:You can buy shitty champagne and have your
own Prosecco, I mean, your own mimosas.
327
:You know, I just think,
328
:Hugh: It I can't imagine.
329
:Someone with integrity that knows
that this is going on, not saying
330
:something about it and not just
being fed up with it at all.
331
:And I don't know, like I said I, I
haven't done it yet because that podcast
332
:hasn't released, but I will release this
emergency order to everyone that I can,
333
:everyone that I have access to, and every
judge, every court that I have access to
334
:so that they can't say they haven't seen
it because I don't think this stuff is.
335
:Reaching the judges, just like
it's not reaching the public.
336
:I think the only judge that would
know about it is the one that had
337
:the order released against her.
338
:And I will do the same with every other
one that we find in going down this rabbit
339
:hole because they need to know about it.
340
:And if you're going to sit there and
continue to post pictures on social media
341
:and be besties then you know, full well
what is going on and are supporting it.
342
:Christine: Yeah, and I, two things.
343
:I just got a email that the video
is ready for pickup on this case.
344
:Fantastic.
345
:Oh, fantastic.
346
:We'll, actually to see
the brainstorming session.
347
:Hugh: Oh, that's good.
348
:And brain in quotes, I imagine.
349
:Christine: L-O-L-O-L.
350
:And then also I just wanna
go back to the baby case.
351
:And we'll post that on our YouTube.
352
:It's on my YouTube, but we'll post
that full, those two full hearings.
353
:And I just want, for context, I
finally got those videos like in
354
:April of the same time that she was.
355
:Brainstorming with this
grandma to take the kid.
356
:And I was at the gym and I started
watching it, and I had to get
357
:off the machine I was on, and
I thought I was gonna be sick.
358
:And I remember texting like, two of
the attorneys that, you know, I was
359
:like quote unquote friendly with and
being like, stay away from Ogden.
360
:Like, there's something wrong with her.
361
:Like, this is not okay.
362
:And yeah, I mean, if I
363
:Hugh: had a case, if I have had
any cases in there, if I were
364
:practicing right now, I would.
365
:That I would move mountains to not have
her make any decision related to any
366
:issues on of significance to my clients.
367
:I mean, but that's, you know,
368
:Christine: you know she's on
the Bridgeman case though.
369
:Hugh: She's on a lot of really
consequential big cases right now.
370
:Christine: So I mean, the Bridgeman
case is the case of the heir
371
:of the billionaire that passed
away, I guess earlier this year.
372
:But that being said, I mean, we're
talking, it's gonna be a million
373
:dollars in fees, but I have no
doubt that she has the inability
374
:to adequately adjudicate this case.
375
:So they're gonna be in the
appellate process for years.
376
:I mean, and that's the other harm.
377
:Let's say that she's obviously
kidnapping children, violating
378
:due process all over horrific.
379
:But she is probably setting up every
single case she adjudicates for
380
:some sort of appealable issue, which
just, it terrorizes these parties
381
:financially and emotionally for years.
382
:Hugh: I mean, not for years, for life.
383
:I mean, if you're, oh, if you're a
9-year-old, you're a 9-year-old kid
384
:and you get snatched outta school and
taken, you know, out of your school,
385
:away from your friends, not allowed
to see your parent and taken out of
386
:state that's not something that I
can't imagine that doesn't stay with
387
:that child and shape their worldview.
388
:For the rest of their life.
389
:Right.
390
:Christine: Well, I mean there's the, when
you do the dependency, neglect and abuse
391
:training, which I did a decade ago, they
talk about that wicked old study that said
392
:children being removed from their parents
exhibit PTSD, similar to Vietnam veterans.
393
:And I can't quote the study right now.
394
:But she just again, has a fundamental.
395
:Understanding of humanity.
396
:And it doesn't matter if she's
doing this intentionally or
397
:because she's incompetent.
398
:It's just it has to stop.
399
:So one media do your job, two
other judges stop, like hold
400
:your colleagues accountable.
401
:Otherwise it's going, we going to
have backlash for the whole system,
402
:just like we saw in law enforcement
because you guys don't have the
403
:gall to handle your own, you know?
404
:Hugh: Yeah.
405
:I mean.
406
:You always say you continuing
to support your , you know, your
407
:colleagues, you're complicit in this.
408
:And to a certain extent, I believe that
the other judges are not, it doesn't mean
409
:the other judges are doing similar things.
410
:This is extreme, but it makes
the entire system look bad.
411
:And not only does it make it look bad, it
actually threatens the legitimacy of it.
412
:Yeah.
413
:There are, you know.
414
:There's a very specific reason why family
court was created and really specific.
415
:Rules and guidelines and guardrails
were set up to protect fundamental
416
:rights and the system can only exist
and be legitimate if those are followed.
417
:And I think one of the, you know,
at the core of the overall criticism
418
:of family court from everything
we've seen across this country
419
:is violations of due process and.
420
:It's cutting corners or sort
of creating a different system.
421
:Then the rules and the laws are
actually set up to to establish and
422
:sort of just assuming that family
court is different than other courts.
423
:And this is way outside of what
we normally are criticizing, but I
424
:think it's a logical extension of it.
425
:I think if you get to the point
where, well, we are dealing with
426
:sort of soft issues and I have
discretion, such broad discretion.
427
:I think judges just get so used
to being able to do those kinds
428
:of things without any consequences
that this is what happens.
429
:Yep.
430
:That you just get to the point
where, well, this person seems to
431
:you know, this person's not here.
432
:I'm kind of upset about it.
433
:I, you know, I'll change custody,
you know, no one's asking me to,
434
:but that's what I'm gonna do.
435
:Christine: Right.
436
:And it's just like,
you know, I don't know.
437
:How to articulate it, but in a way
that I don't want to radicalize people,
438
:but this is exactly why everyone
online is saying all of the quote
439
:unquote radical things that they're
saying because of decisions like this
440
:and because of no accountability.
441
:And it's a dangerous situation
for everyone to be in, period.
442
:End of story.
443
:Because something bad is gonna happen.
444
:I mean, something bad already happened.
445
:Hugh: Well, I mean.
446
:I don't know.
447
:I always look at these things
sort of in isolation in a
448
:vacuum, this case, this court.
449
:But I can't close my eyes to what's
happening in the country right now.
450
:This due process is disappearing.
451
:It's disappearing for
entire classes of people.
452
:It is not extreme to say that
erosion's going to continue until
453
:it affects each and every one of us.
454
:And I think that, we've talked about
how the media hasn't picked up on this.
455
:I think when you look at all the
other competing stories, this is just
456
:because it just gets lost in the noise.
457
:Oh, someone came and you know, a
judge, an elected official stole a kid.
458
:I mean, people are.
459
:You know, it doesn't take it, you
don't have to search more than
460
:one or two queries online to find
video of people, kids being stolen
461
:yesterday by government officials.
462
:So maybe that has something to do with it.
463
:Yeah, I mean,
464
:Christine: that's just to me, you
know, the whole talking point.
465
:I think the media has talking points
that's the only thing that they're going.
466
:And I think it is somewhat naive of us
to think that this hasn't been happening
467
:for years in family court based on
the stories that we're receiving.
468
:It just may not have been happening to
our clients or people with a lot of money.
469
:But this is not the first time in this
country that, you know, unfortunately
470
:a judge has done something like
that just given the nature of
471
:the stories that we're getting.
472
:But
473
:Hugh: yeah, but I mean, I
don't think, I don't think our.
474
:Lack of knowledge of it was because
it wasn't happening to our clients.
475
:I think it's because, I mean, one
of the things with big takeaways
476
:of this is this was not published
and made public knowledge.
477
:Christine: Yeah.
478
:Hugh: And how many, how much of
this has happened and how much
479
:of it has been completely hidden?
480
:And when I say hidden, I don't mean it's
hard to find by not publishing these like
481
:you do with all of your other decisions.
482
:The Court of Appeals is hiding this.
483
:This was hidden.
484
:Christine: I called the court of appeals
just to be like, Hey, I hear there's
485
:an emergency order, can I get it?
486
:And it was that quintessential that you
get, that I got when I was in Los Angeles,
487
:in Orange County, it got ma'am ma'am.
488
:It's like, don't ma'am me like that.
489
:Denise Brown, you work for me.
490
:And I understand this is just staff,
but give me every emergency order that's
491
:been entered by this court of appeals
and get it to me within 24 hours.
492
:And we saw the recent
case out of New York.
493
:The Supreme Court.
494
:And we just have got to start
FOIAing all this stuff because
495
:the judiciary has been able to
operate in the dark for a long time.
496
:And if this is the shit that we are
seeing publicly, like what else is apple?
497
:Hugh: Yeah.
498
:And I mean, for those who don't follow
this stuff, probably most everyone except
499
:for legal nerds the Supreme Court in
New York, upheld and granted a four your
500
:request for this type of information.
501
:And it's sort of landmark that okay,
there, there are opinions and in that
502
:case there were memos and parts of a case
files that had not been made public that
503
:are generated by the judiciary that the
Supreme Court basically said those are.
504
:Fair game for FOIA requests,
and if they're requested,
505
:you have to provide them.
506
:So they're, you know, that's
a huge step in one state for
507
:transparency in the judiciary.
508
:We shouldn't have to, like,
for emergency orders rebuking a
509
:public publicly elected judge.
510
:You shouldn't have to do a four
year request to find out and to
511
:have the knowledge you need to vote.
512
:On a judge, but it's a big step and I
hope that it proves, you know, it, it
513
:sort of establishes a blueprint for
other people, other organizations,
514
:other not-for-profits to get this kind
of information and to make it public.
515
:Christine: Absolutely Brazil.
516
:Hello.
517
:We are now in five continents.
518
:We are so excited.
519
:Three months, judge y.com,
520
:Antarctica, Africa, you're next.
521
:Y'all judgy on all platforms Kentucky
Christine, for me personally,
522
:and we will see you next time.
523
:Hugh: See you.
524
:Next call.
525
:We need some justice, justice, justice.
526
:And I wanna ring bells in public.
527
:I wanna ring bes in public nor crowd.
528
:Yeah, but I To the fo Yeah.
529
:I To the fo Yeah.
530
:I to the fo fo teaser.
