Colorado Records Rat: Rabbi Bellinsky says smoking gun email damns Colorado’s top court administrator in perjury records scandal.

Colorado Records Rat?: Steven Vasconcellos

    Rabbi Jacob Bellinsky, fresh off a landmark Tenth Circuit victory, is now battling Colorado’s top judicial administrator over public records. In a Denver courtroom, Bellinsky accuses State Court Administrator Steven Vasconcellos of perjury for swearing “no records exist” about judicial misconduct complaints. Emails tell a different story. One August 2024 email assured Bellinsky complaints were “actively investigated.” Another November 2024 email admitted a misconduct memo was “completed back in August” but withheld for five months. Bellinsky says these contradictions prove a cover-up. He calls it “a constitutional emergency.” The case could force unprecedented transparency—or validate systemic concealment.

    Streeto’s Connecticut Judicial Candy Scandal

      In a stunning collapse of judicial decorum, Judge Melissa Streeto of Connecticut’s Superior Court dropped more than just opinions — she delivered “bags of dicks” as gag gifts to her clerks. Literally. The Rockville-based judge, known for her rulings on habeas petitions, left x-rated candy shaped like male genitalia along with affectionate notes on subordinate desks, all while donning her latex beneath the black robe of justice. The Judicial Branch is spinning, with Chief Judge Elizabeth Bozzuto offering weak reassurances while Streeto “self-reports” to the Judicial Review Council.
