Wow.
The only reason we started this blog is because “Life” happened to AOC Watcher. The public service commenced by the original AOC Watcher we believed was essential as the only form of checks, balances and oversight over a reckless, out of control bureaucracy. With any luck, AOC Watcher and Judicial Council Watcher will be able to combine resources and share information for the benefit of all Californians.
Go say hi to the original. The one and only. AOC Watcher.
*Note: Judicial Council Watcher was designed from the onset to be a high bandwidth, high maintenance, media rich social networking experience produced in association with media, news & entertainment companies. Judicial Council Watcher is an unfriendly place for dial-up internet users. If you don’t have a fast connection to the internet or you just want to read a really good writer, then we encourage you to visit and participate in AOC Watcher. If you have a fast connection to the internet then by all means, patronize both efforts. While our scope is a bit wider than AOC Watcher our objectives regarding the Judicial Council and the AOC are nearly identical.

Ah, it’s nice to see the original. But let us all remember, as good as the AOC Watcher was, JCW brought it up a notch!

If you listen, you can hear the sounds of a bunch of cursing and profanity eminating from the 5th floor at 455 Golden Gate Avenue.
Welcome back, AOC Watcher.
Long live the ACJ.

The ranks of dissent grew exponentially following yesterday’s Muppet show. When “over the top” is achieved by a strong majority of this states judges organizing in opposition to kangaroo governance, this states’ legislators will only then begin to see the writing on the wall and join us all in dismantling this criminal organization.

Thank you JCW for taking up the slack when AOC Watcher went off the air in August of last year.
Between the two of you I am convinced that the CJ/JC/AOC will receive the public scrutiny that is expected in a democracy.
Thanks for all of your work

Excuse my language but shit and shinola! I cant believe the AOC watcher is back! Ever since our beloved AOC watcher left the blogisphere, I would occassionaly check the site, to see if it had been resurrected. I am so happy for his/her return. JCW Yes you both can provide us with the info and I will continue to be a dedicated reader of both bloggers. How cool, twice the info twice the hammering and exposure of the loser, bozos, jerks at the AOC/JC!
And I ditto TM, thanks to both of you for your dedication and hard work. You are both amazing. Go getem tigers!

Why is the jingle (slogan) of Doublemint Gum bouncing around in my head? *lol* Yes, I agree that it’s comforting to see AOC back, for a cause seeking truth can never have too many voices! Especially after the travesty that took place on Friday!

Ron “turned tail and ran” George got out while the getting was good. Amazingly, his bought and paid for groupies still don’t realize the party’s over. Too much koolaid has clearly addled their brains and impaired their judgment. They continue to fiddle while Rome burns, laughing, joking, giggling and playing chicken with the legislature along the way.
Top leadership should fasten its seat belt. It doesn’t realize the playing field has changed.
It used to be: CJ/JC/AOC vs. “voices in the wilderness”
That began to change a couple of years ago to become CJ/JC/AOC vs. whistleblowers/AOCW/ACJ/JCW/BSA/CJA (increasingly)/trial courts (increasingly)/ interested legislators/and various others. After Friday’s vote, I daresay the battle against top leadership will expand on many fronts.
With the ACJ, JCW and AOC Watcher around to chronicle the ongoing idiocy of top leadership, RG’s take-no-prisoners dream of absolute, unfettered power and control is rapidly being exposed as the third branch nightmare it always was. Judicial independence and integrity went out the window a long time ago, when RG made it clear that the way to advance in his realm was to subordinate the judicial oath of office to an oath of fealty to RG.
Newsflash: RG’s gone. His dictatorial policies have failed. Champagne and balloons have been replaced with searchlights, audits, calls for criminal investigations, an increasingly angry crowd of screwed-over branch members and taxpayers and ugly daily headlines blasted worldwide.
Top leadership needs to stop drinking koolaid and get their asses to rehab. The party’s over. A lot of damage has been done. The due bill is on its way.

Huffman food for thought: It takes one to run one….
