The Judicial Branch Removed Itself From the Checks And Balances System in the 1970’s

What happened described herein, spread to every state across the nation, beginning in the 1970’s, facilitated through the American Bar Association. If you do not live in Pennsylvania, the law was still most likely changed in the same manner in your state.. This was the self-exemption through the Supreme Court using the power of judicial review, from the Open Meeting Laws by the Judicial branches.

The Missing Link – Supreme Court Ends Transparency in Government

This letter and filed decision below, from the PA Supreme Court to Governor Milton Shapp- is a crucial link in the puzzle of rampant corruption that has infested our judicial system and the entire U.S. Government in general.

1974 – Governor Shapp Orders State Attorney General to Review Sunshine Laws

Dear Governor Shapp:

You have requested that I prepare an opinion to make as clear as possible the full impact and intent of Act No. 175 of 1974, effective September 17, 1974, and known as the Sunshine Law. This opinion, subject to any future judicial order, shall be binding upon department heads, boards, commissions and officers of the Commonwealth as provided by Section 512 of the Administrative Code, but shall be only advisory as to other governmental bodies.

This is not another site of a conspiracy theorist, or a paranoid rant about an alternate society running our government. This is a documented expose’, regarding the effect of ignoring warnings, that are now being realized. The truth may very well be that this all evolved without any sort of conspiracy- just the natural evolution that comes about through time, when the checks and balances that were put in place by one generation, were somehow inadvertently removed. Of the three branches of government – Executive, Legislative and Judiciary- the third has attained unchecked power.
