Family Court's Star Chamber: Dr. Bandy Lee sues NJ Judge over unconstitutional gag orders and judicial abuse exposing systemic corruption.

FAMILY COURT’S STAR CHAMBER: BERGEN COUNTY, NEW JERSEY

Dr. Bandy X. Lee, a former Yale professor and Harvard-trained forensic psychiatrist, is taking on the heart of judicial darkness in Bergen County, New Jersey. In a blistering federal lawsuit, Dr. Lee accuses Chief Judge Jane Gallina-Mecca, GAL Evelyn Nissirios, and Judge Michael Antoniewicz of weaponizing gag orders to silence her First Amendment-protected speech. With over 2,500 signatures on an impeachment petition and constitutional scholar Bruce Fein representing her in federal court, Dr. Lee’s battle is drawing national attention. “They may have gagged me in court,” she said, “but they will never silence the truth.”

Fake Family Court Police: Meet the Justice Pretenders

Meet the Justice Pretenders—the so-called “Family Court Police” that operate with zero oversight and questionable authority. These part-time enforcers don badges from Party City, show up in mismatched uniforms, and terrify families with threats of child abduction. They operate only during business hours, moonlight as clowns by night, and claim to follow “court orders” that rarely exist. With no trauma training and six-figure taxpayer-funded salaries, they rip kids from homes under the guise of child safety. Who are they? What are their qualifications? And how do they get away with it? Let’s expose this system’s worst-kept secret.

Georgia Family Court Whistleblower: Maureen Meadows reveals racial bias, GAL fraud, and a “star chamber” of secret lawyer discipline.

Georgia Family Court Whistleblower Blows the Lid Off Secret Discipline System

Maureen Meadows, a family law attorney turned whistleblower, says Georgia’s family court system is “rigged” to protect big law partners and crush parents. Her divorce exposed fake reports, false statements, and a “star chamber” of secret lawyer discipline. “They lied and got away with it,” she said. David Weigel, founder of the Family Court Fraud Warrior Project, says legal fiduciaries get a free pass while Wall Street fiduciaries face constant scrutiny. “It’s astounding,” Weigel said. Meadows wants federal oversight, warning: “If they can do this to me, imagine what they’re doing to parents who can’t fight back.”

PAYWALL OF JUSTICE: ORANGE COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT

After stonewalling for nearly a year, the Orange County Superior Court (OCSC) has hit investigative journalist Julie M. Anderson Holburn with a stunning $4,240 fee for a single public records report. The court’s months-long delays, bogus legal excuses, false retention claims, and personal attacks reveal a disturbing pattern: deny, deflect, retaliate. Holburn’s requests—clearly protected under California Rule of Court 10.500—seek basic family court administrative data already available on courthouse terminals. But instead of compliance, OCSC has chosen obfuscation. At stake is not just transparency, but the constitutional right of every Californian to know what their courts are doing.

THE COURTROOM CON: MONICA CIARDI’S SENTENCING EXPOSES NJ’S CORRUPT MACHINE

Protective mother Monica Ciardi faces sentencing today in Essex County, NJ, despite no confirmed indictment, no allocution of rights, and no proof she knowingly waived her parental and First Amendment rights. Her felony plea deal—negotiated under pressure, without due process—includes a gag order and opens the door for permanent separation from her children. Critics call it a state-sanctioned shakedown led by corrupt Morris and Essex County officials. With federal eyes now on the case, pressure mounts on Judge Michael L. Ravin to stop what legal advocates say is a court-run extortion racket against a protective mom who refused to stay quiet.
