A growing group of Alaskans, concerned about violations of citizen grand jury rights, are asking various borough assemblies to pass resolutions to protest the Alaska Supreme Court’s recent decision to limit the ability of grand juries to investigate corrupt judges.

In particular, they are asking the Kenai, Mat-Su and Anchorage borough assemblies to condemn the Supreme Court for “unconstitutionally suspending grand jury power to investigate, recommend, and/or indict public officials.” The proposed resolution adds the following:

“That this body protests the Alaska Supreme Court unconstitutionally suspending the right of a citizen to approach the grand jury directly.”

“That this body recommends any and all action necessary, by both elected officials and citizens alike, to immediately and completely unsuspend grand jury power to investigate, recommend, and indict willful misconduct in office of public officials.”

“That this body requests the Legislature of the State of Alaska to immediately start impeachment proceedings against all five Alaska Supreme Court Justices.”

Grand jury advocates are asking each of the three borough assemblies to send a copy of the resolution to all 60 Alaska legislators, Gov. Mike Dunleavy, the Alaska Supreme Court and the Kenai grand jury, which is currently investigating misconduct of judges and other officials.

Three separate presentations were given on Feb. 7 at the Kenai Borough, Mat-Su Borough and Anchorage Assembly meetings.

PROPOSED RESOLUTION

A RESOLUTION PROTESTING THE ALASKA SUPREME COURT’S SUSPENSION OF GRAND JURY POWER TO INVESTIGATE, RECOMMEND, OR INDICT WILLFUL MISCONDUCT BY PUBLIC OFFICIALS; AND CALLING FOR IMPEACHMENT OF ALL FIVE ALASKA SUPREME COURT JUSTICES

WHEREAS,  Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution of the State of Alaska states, “The power of grand juries to investigate and make recommendations concerning the public welfare or safety shall never be suspended”; and

WHEREAS,   the Delegates who wrote the Constitution of the State of Alaska stated, “The power of grand juries to inquire into the willful misconduct in office of public officers, and to find indictments in connection therewith, shall never be suspended.”; and

WHEREAS,   the Alaska Supreme Court recently wrote and passed SCO 1993, which unconstitutionally suspends grand jury power to inquire into the willful misconduct in office of public officials, or to make recommendations or find indictments in connection therewith; and

WHEREAS,   the Delegates who wrote the Constitution of the State of Alaska stated, “The grand jury can be appealed to directly, which is an invaluable right to the citizen.”; and

WHEREAS,   the Alaska Supreme Court recently wrote and passed SCO 1993, which unconstitutionally suspends the right of the citizen to approach the grand jury directly; and

WHEREAS,   an Alaskan Supreme Court SCO 1993 Memorandum, dated November 22, 2022, indicates the Alaska Supreme Court corruptly bypassed its own 13-member Rules Committee to pass SCO 1993; and

WHEREAS,   an Alaskan Supreme Court SCO 1993 Memorandum, dated November 22, 2022, indicates the Alaska Supreme Court corruptly ignored protests from its own Rules Committee that “the full committee should consider the proposed changes at a meeting” because of their “concern the rule changes were important and serious changes of a constitutional nature and should not be rushed through.”; and

WHEREAS,   we believe the Alaska Supreme Court’s motive to “rush through” unconstitutional SCO 1993, without due process, is to stop a current and ongoing Kenai, Alaska grand jury investigation into willful misconduct in office of judges and into evidence that Marla Greenstein (Alaska’s only investigator of judges for the last 33 years and counting – 8000 judge investigations so far) is falsifying official investigations and certified documents to keep corrupt judges on the bench and ruling over We-The-People; and

WHEREAS,   we believe an additional Alaska Supreme Court motive for SCO 1993 is to permanently eliminate all future Alaskan grand juries from being able to inquire into the willful misconduct in office of public officials, and to find indictments in connection therewith; and

WHEREAS,   evidence of the above can be found at: alaskagrandjurorsassociation.org and alaskastateofcorruption.com; and

WHEREAS,   the oath of office that all elected members of this body take, require that we protect and defend the Constitution of the State of Alaska; and

WHEREAS,   the violation of powers and rights guaranteed by the Constitution of the State of Alaska is of great concern to this elected body of Alaskan citizens;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE ­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­_______

SECTION 1. That this body protests the Alaska Supreme Court unconstitutionally suspending grand jury power to investigate, recommend, and/or indict public officials.

SECTION 2. That this body protests the Alaska Supreme Court unconstitutionally suspending the right of a citizen to approach the grand jury directly.

SECTION 3. That this body recommends any and all action necessary, by both elected officials and citizens alike, to immediately and completely unsuspend grand jury power to investigate, recommend, and indict willful misconduct in office of public officials.

SECTION 4. That this body requests the Legislature of the State of Alaska to immediately start impeachment proceedings against all five Alaska Supreme Court Justices.

SECTION 5. That a copy of this resolution shall be provided to: (1) all 60 Legislators of the State of Alaska; (2) the Governor of the State of Alaska; (3) the Alaska Supreme Court; (4) the Kenai, Alaska grand jury currently investigating willful misconduct in office of judges and other officials; and (5) media appropriate to inform the greater Alaska public of this resolution.

SECTION 6. That this resolution is effective immediately upon its adoption.

Grand Jury rights advocates ask Alaska boroughs to press Legislature to impeach Supreme Court justices

    I’d say if there is even the slightest question of wrong doing this must be true and this document needs to be moved forward. Judges can be bought off too. They’re human! Now they’re caught they all need to be investigated. While we’re at it we need to make some changes to the constitution and I for one call on my representatives to call for a consultation congress. During the election everyone voted it down because of the Roe v. Wade issue. I think now people would agree we need it. In ten more years another hot topic eill come up and we won’t get it because of that issue. I’ve been here 38 years and watched each time it was passed over because 6 months before elections a hit topic comes up and people are afraid to pass a C.C. It’s time let’s have one and straighten this life time judge appointment changed. and how the appointment or people to move up is done.

    • Friend of Humanity says:

    I see only older (read LITERATE) Alaskans protesting in this and in regards to many other losses in our life systems. if the GenY and Z zombies fail to put down their phones and get off their trained spectator couch positions, Alaska will be the first state totally overrun by a corrupt Judicial, legal, political, and governmental State system. Remember the slow, 6year kill of 12 million in the Bolshevik Revolution? No? Illiteracy does that.

    • Friend of Humanity says:

      I agree. The younger generations are apathethic. They do not realize that, maybe just because it is not “affecting them (now)”, it will affect them when it is too late to be able to fight it.

  • Penny C Johnson says:

    The ONLY way this protest is going to gain traction is if the each of the readers are willing to contact their individual legislators, copy & paste (easily done), AND DEMAND action and impeachment. I am. I will.

    • Friend of Humanity says:

      Penny, we need to share with others also. It will take a community of pissed-off people to gain traction.
