Fallout Jesse Ventura MSNBC Joe Scarborough

MinnPost - Fallout over Jesse Ventura's recent media blitz

t over Jesse Ventura's recent media blitz

By Ken Ronnan Published Wed, May 20 2009 12:44 pm

MSNBC's "Morning Joe" took notice of former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura’s recent media tour on torture and host Joe Scarborough had a few things to say about it.

"Perhaps Jesse should stop smoking whatever Jesse's been smoking and keep his mouth shut about things he knows absolutely nothing about. This is a guy who, by the way -- I must continue to say this -- that got paid two million dollars by this network, did one show and sucked so bad that they sent him back to Minnesota and said we never want to see you again. I wish I was that bad," Scarborough said.

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani also throws in his two-cents.

Yesterday, on "Fox and Friends," Ventura and co-host Brian Kilmeade got into a heated debate. "I'm not worried about the terrorists' welfare. I'm worried about what our country stands for, not the terrorists' welfare," Ventura said, adding, "Where is it going to end?"

video by Fox News

And on "The O'Reilly Factor," Bill O'Reilly had this to say about Ventura: "I don't want to confuse the former governor with facts. Let's just say on this one he is a pinhead."

Taser stun guns may be deployed for the first time in the UK during riots as firearms units, armed with the 50,000 volt weapons, are on standby in riot vans. An "Alternative G20 Summit" - an academic forum for debate at the University of East London - has been cancelled due to fears of rioting.

Hi All,

We have all heard about libraries closing. Well last night the Mayor had another public meeting attempting to sell his reasoning for closing libraries. There was testimony from a citizen how the library is a refuge for good kids.

Bill Dahn attended and presented Mayor Coleman personally with the A Democracy Town Hall invitation.
The Mayor accused Bill of flipping him the bird outside prior to coming in the building for the meeting. Bill said he didn't do this. But, we know the Mayor flipped Bill the Bird at a social get together over 2 1/2 years ago.

Bill handed out a great number of invitations to our Town Hall.

THANKS BILL!

This is the invitation to the Town Hall Bill presented to mayor Coleman.

ANYONE BUT CHRIS COLEMAN *Highest property taxes in Minnesota history. *Predatory housing code enforcement policies that have made women and children homeless. *No positive solutions to the vacant housing crisis that is Blighting our city. *Spending tax dollars on city projects that can wait until we are in better times. *Cutting Fire, Police and library services. *Property tax increases for 4 years in a row, and no end in sight. *While crime is going down in the rest of the country, it has actually increased in St. Paul.

I'd bet the farm that Bill did do this. hasn't he been arrested for similar stuff within the last couple of years? Yes.

Why in the hell would the mayor come here? Almost everyone of the participants have come to the decision about his stewardship over this city- Bob even puts it on his front page.

How f'ing stupid do you think people are? You kick them around and rumor mill them to death over conspiracies and such, then you approach the person and try to present yourself as having an honest question? Whatever.

He's doing a great job talking to people and getting their input and concerns. There is no need to bend to the concerns of those who support leeches who suck off the city and then sue it when they are forced to comply to city ordinances.

I'd also like to know what social event Bill Dahn imagined he was flipped off at, and what was Bill Dahn doing at a social event.

My response;
I think I know Bill better than you Eric and I would know if Bill had been arrested in the last two years. He hasn't! Why are you and Chuck resorting to out right LIES lately?

And why do you think someone should even be arrested for flipping someone the bird? I will answer that for you. You entrenched dflers in city government hate the first amendement. Kill the messenger, hide the truth.

The Mayor flipped Bill off at one of your famed SPIF get togethers.

Eric said;

My response;
I didn't expect him to come here where the truth abounds. I was merely letting others know the A Democracy Town Hall efforts for growth are alive and well.

Eric said;
He's doing a great job talking to people and getting their input and concerns. There is no need to bend to the concerns of those who support leeches who suck off the city and then sue it when they are forced to comply to city ordinances.

My response;
The mayor is part of the reason these vacant homes sit around blighting the city. WISE INVESTORS came here with predictions of where the housing policies would take us and these bafones in city government didn't listen to them. We are at the place in time of the predictions here. The mayor with these public meetings is merely exercising damage control over his failed policy's.

The mayor has an agenda and he only seeks to fulfill that agenda at the expense of hard working tax paying citizens.

You're right you do know him very well. You yourself said last month that Bill has issues from his insulation and is unable to express himself with tact. Didn't you make up those excuse for him when Chuck and I were telling you how he verbally abused everyone who was trying to help him? Yes. You were there with the excuses.

And to rest of what you said about me personally, you can go fuck yourself.

"Wise Investors" you mean the guys that got us into this mess right Bob?

Go to the City's web page and pull up the list of vacant properties and see how many of them were "investment properties."

These were the clowns with nothing down, 3% interest only until the next time the could flip the property.

So, they aren't the problem are they Bob? I mean the real world came calling and said they had to actually pay their mortgage and the price of housing wasn't going to go up enough to get one more flip out of it... so, they let the bank have it.

That is the problem in EVERY CITY IN THE COUNTRY. The ass holes that you protect have driven us over the cliff and we are now in a f'ing recession and you want to blame code enforcement...

This is 2:43 minutes long, but very interesting, especially since it is a 1929 song. Imagine that 80 years ago there were questions about immigrants commitment to the US.


.

s an actual recording (with photos) of the 1929 song of immigrants to the United States. It should be re-recorded and released today. It applies to both the U.S. and Australia.

1929 Immigration Song

It must have taken a lot of digging to pull this one out!!

Really reaches back into the past.. Happened back then

but sure isn't happening now.

This is a video and song about immigration that was very popular around the late 1920's, and early - 30's. Maybe this should be our Immigration National Anthem.... but that wouldn't be politically correct today would it? If It was good enough then - - - would it be good enough now!

MEMORANDUM ON THE GRAND JURY
STATE OF MINNESOTA
FEBRUARY 2009
by Nancy Lazaryan


To: Justice Paul Anderson, Judge Debra Hedlund, Judge James Dehn, Judge Jack Nordby
cc: David Orrick of the Pioneer Press, Representative Dan Severson

Greetings,

To the members of the Minnesota Judicial Branch, I have been in contact with you on the telephone about my concern over the restricted access to our Grand Jury.

The following is my research on the subject, as well as the case law that sets forth the right and duty of a judge to convene a Grand Jury open or special venire.

Introduction

Citizens from across the state of Minnesota have repeatedly attempted to bring evidence of corruption of public officials directly to their Grand Juries. Members of the Minnesota Judicial Branch have consistently blocked access by the Citizens to the Grand Jury. The names of the Grand Jury forepersons have been withheld from the Citizens.

In November of 2007, an indictment from the Grand Jury in Ramsey County came down that contained the signature of the Grand Jury foreperson.

Christina Becher, foreperson for the Ramsey County grand jury was sent a Criminal Complaint concerning crimes done against a Citizen that is on active military duty. Christina Becher gave the Complaint to Charles Balck of the Ramsey County attorney’s office. Instead of properly handling the matter, by contacting the office of the Minnesota Attorney General, Mr. Balck gave the Complaint to Chief Judge Gregg Johnson of the Ramsey County district court.

Evidence of felonies being committed by certain judges in the Ramsey county district court were contained in the package sent to the Jury foreperson. Then Chief Judge Gregg Johnson buried the Complaint.

Mr. Balck, by his actions of giving the Complaint to the Chief Judge of the Ramsey County district court, compromised any secrecy the Grand Jury would have in investigating the public officials of Ramsey County for their alleged criminal activity.

The Complaint sent to Christina Becher is one of MANY complaints that the Citizens have, supported by evidence, of corruption of public officials in every branch of government.


The Minnesota Constitution

In my telephone discussions with the above named judicial officers, I addressed the issue of whether the Grand Judy is a constitutional right the People secured unto themselves, or a civil right granted by government. I also indicated to you that the Minnesota constitution was unlawfully amended to remove the Grand Jury as a constitutionally secured right.

The distinction between a constitutional right and a civil right is pivotal. A right secured by our constitution is a right that a constitutional officer has the duty to defend, pursuant to his or her oath of office. A civil right is one “granted” by the government and controlled by the government and is akin to a privilege.

The People of Minnesota set forth in our original constitution that the Grand Jury was a right that we secured unto ourselves.

In 1868 a bill was passed to amend the constitution to remove the Grand Jury. The language of the bill is as follows:

“No person for the same offense shall be put twice in jeopardy of punishment, nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law. All persons shall, before conviction, be bailable by sufficient sureties except for capital offenses where the proof is evident or the presumption great; and the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended unless when in case of rebellion or invasion, the public safety may require it.”

“The ballots used at said election by those voting in favor of said amendment shall have written or printed thereon the following words, “against the grand jury;” and the ballots used at said election by those voting against the amendment shall have written or printed thereon the following words, “for the grand jury.”

When brought to the People in 1868, the amendment to the constitution was overwhelming defeated with two-thirds of those voting on the amendment declaring the Grand Jury would remain in the constitution.

A commentary on the amendments to the state constitution speaks to the failure of this amendment to pass in 1868, stating, “As early as 1868 an amendment was made to abolish the requirement of an indictment or presentment of a grand jury as a condition precedent to a trial for felony. The peculiar form in which the question was presented to the voters probably had much to do with the defeat of the amendment.”

In 1903 another bill to amend the state constitution was passed. The language of the bill is as follows:

“No person shall be held to answer for a criminal offense without due process of law, and no person for the same offense shall be put twice in jeopardy of punishment, nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law. All persons shall before conviction be bailable by sufficient sureties, except for capital offenses when the proof is evident or the presumption great; and the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended unless when in case of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require.”

“The ballots used at said elections on said amendment shall have printed on them “Amendment to Section Seven (7) of Article One (1) of the Constitution providing for criminal prosecutions and the rights of the accused.” “Yes—No,” and each elector voting on said amendment shall place a cross mark thus (X) in a space left opposite either the word “Yes” or the word “No” and shall be counted for or against the proposition in accordance with the expressed will of the elector as provided by the election laws of the state.”


Proper Notice to Amend the Constitution

In my research I repeatedly attempted to find the actual ballots for constitutional amendments that were sent to the People. Accordingly, I submitted a written request under M.S. Chap. 13 for the ballots to the Minnesota Secretary of State’s office. Said state office wrote back and told me they were only required to keep records for TWO YEARS, and that any other records had been sent to the Minnesota Historical Society.

I repeatedly attempted to find the ballots at the Minnesota Historical Society and was told each time, that the documents had not been sent to them. I am unable to find authorization within the statutes for the Minnesota Historical Society to maintain the records of the Secretary of State.
Currently, the secretary of state, with approval of the attorney general, prepares a short title to identify each amendment on the ballot. The ballot question specified by the legislature appears under the title. The text of the constitution as it would appear if amended is not printed on the ballot.

It is unclear as to WHAT the People actually voted on in 1903, as the ballots (ballots spanning over the course of 100 years) are mysteriously missing from the public record. It is clear that in 1868, when the People were noticed that the amendment would eliminate the Grand Jury from our constitution, the amendment was overwhelmingly defeated.

Valid argument can be made that the People in 1903 were frauded by the legislature to vote on an amendment to remove the Grand Jury from our constitution, as the amendment failed in 1868 when the People where noticed that the amendment would remove the Grand Jury. In 1903 the legislature specifically excluded this notice to the People.

Equally, argument can be raised that ALL ballots brought to the People that do not contain the original constitution and the proposed amendment to the constitution are null and void on their face as proper notice was not given to the People.


Denial of Access to The Grand Jury

For years I have been working with a group of state Citizens that have been attempting to bring evidence of the corruption of state officials before the Grand Jury. Members of the Minnesota Judicial Branch throughout the state, have blocked every attempt.

M.S. Sec. 628.61 (3) states: “The grand jury shall inquire into the willful and corrupt misconduct in office of all public officers in the county.”

The Minnesota Supreme Court case of Wild v. Otis proclaims the Citizen had the authority to “go around” the county attorney and present evidence directly to the Grand Jury.

Wild v. Otis was written in the same time period that a runaway Grand Jury brought indictments against corrupt public officials in Minneapolis. Curiously, it was in this same timeframe that the “purported” amendment to remove the Grand Jury from the constitution was “passed”.

With the purported removal of the Grand Jury from the state constitution, the Grand Jury was then enacted as a statutorial “right”, as such, a “civil” right granted (and controlled) by government.

Our government then put into place additional restraints to prevent access to the Grand Jury.
The legislature enacted M.S Sec. 480.056, 480.0591 and 480.59 that give the power to supercede statutes to the judicial branch. (Including the statutes concerning the Grand Jury.) The judicial branch wrote the rules concerning the Grand Jury. And, the judicial branch promulgated the Minnesota General Rules of Practice. Rule 1.02 of the M.R.G.P. states: “A judge may modify the application of these rules in any case to prevent manifest injustice.”

There has been a deliberate and methodical process set into place to keep the People from bringing evidence directly before their Grand Jury. Our republican form of government has been wrenched from us by an oligarchy that protects itself by denying the Citizens their Grand Jury and thereby the restraining our ability to expose and prosecute corruption within our government.


The intent of the People concerning the Grand Jury


To those members of our Judicial Branch, I direct you to the following Minnesota and federal court opinions:

The grand jury is not appointed for the prosecutor or for the court; it is appointed for the government and for the people; and both the government and the people are surely concerned, on the one hand, that all crimes, whether given or not given in charge to the grand jury and whether described or not described with professional skill, should receive the punishment which the law denounces, and on the other hand, that innocence, however strongly assailed by accusations drawn up in regular form, and by accusers marshaled in legal array, should, on full investigation, be securely protected. Hale v Henkel, 201 US 43, 50 L ed 652, 26 S Ct 370, disapproved on other grounds Murphy v Waterfront Com. of New York Harbor, 378 US 52, 12 L ed 2d 678, 84 S Ct 1594, motion to retax costs den 379 US 898, 13 L ed 2d 174, 85 S Ct 183.

The power and duty of the grand jury to investigate is original and complete, susceptible of being exercised upon its own motion and upon such knowledge as it may derive from any source which it may deem proper, and is not therefore dependent for its exertion upon the approval or disapproval of the court. People v Polk, 21 Ill 2d 594, 174 NE2d 393; State v Iosue, 220 Minn 283, 19 NW2d 735 citing United States v. Thompson, 251 U.S. 414, 40 S. Ct. 292, 64 L. ed. 342.

The duty of the grand jury is to inquire diligently into all offenses which come to its knowledge, whether from the court, the prosecuting officer, its own members, or from any source. People v Polk, 21 Ill 2d 594, 174 NE2d 393; State v Iosue, 220 Minn 283, 19 NW2d 735.

Provisions within the statutes for the grand jury are intended to secure the same protection that was provided by the common law, through the same kind of grand jury, which was traditional at common law, functioning substantially in the same way. Re Opinion to Governor, 62 RI 200, 4 A2d 487, 121 ALR 806.


Authority to summon Grand Jury open venire or special venire


Courts have taken the view that the authorization of a special grand jury may exist or function contemporaneously with the regular grand jury, and does not violate constitutional provisions guaranteeing the right to presentment or indictment by a grand jury for infamous crimes and felonies. People ex rel. Ferrill v Graydon, 333 Ill 429, 164 NE 832; State ex rel. Doerfler v Price, 101 Ohio St 50, 128 NE 173.

At common law the grand jurors could be summoned by open venire. Rogers v. People, 104 Colo 594, 94 P2d 453.

M. S. Sec. 628.41
Subd. 2.Venue.
If subject matter of the grand jury inquiry concerns activity, events, or other matters in more than one county, a grand jury may be selected, in reasonable proportion, from the counties in which the activity, events, or other matters occurred. A judge of the district court from any judicial district which includes one of the counties involved in an inquiry may convene a multicounty grand jury, without regard to judicial district boundaries, and may designate which county attorney or county attorneys shall attend upon the grand jury. The judge shall designate where a grand jury drawn from more than one county shall sit.

M.S. Sec 554.05 RELATIONSHIPS TO OTHER LAW.
Nothing in this chapter limits or precludes any rights the moving party or responding party may have under any other constitutional, statutory, case, or common law, or rule.

M.S. Sec.599.04 COURTS TO TAKE JUDICIAL NOTICE.
Every court of this state shall take judicial notice of the common law and statutes of every state, territory, and other jurisdiction of the United States.

M.S. Sec.609.015 SCOPE AND EFFECT.
Subdivision 1.Common law crimes abolished.
Common law crimes are abolished and no act or omission is a crime unless made so by this chapter or by other applicable statute, but this does not prevent the use of common law rules in the construction or interpretation of the provisions of this chapter or other statute. Crimes committed prior to September 1, 1963, are not affected thereby.
Subd. 2.Applicability.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, or the context otherwise requires, the provisions of this chapter also apply to crimes created by statute other than in this chapter.

M.S. Sec.611A.85 OTHER REMEDIES PRESERVED.
Sections 611A.80 to 611A.88 do not affect the right of any person to bring an action or use any remedy available under other law, including common law, to recover damages arising out of the use of the individual in prostitution or the coercion incident to the individual being used in prostitution; nor do sections 611A.80 to 611A.88 limit or restrict the liability of any person under other law.

“Under the provisions of section 7, page 186, Session Laws of 1891, the judge of the district court may order a grand jury to be drawn as provided by law for any county of his district. It is not necessary that such order be made by the court. Under the provisions of section 3961 of the Revised Statutes, the court or judge may order an open venire to issue for such number of persons as may be required to appear for service at any term of court in his district. State, v. Charles H. Barber 13, Idaho 65; 88 P. 418; 1907 Ida. LEXIS 14

We are unable to interpret the statutes as limiting the power of the court in calling a grand jury to the [***4] one mode provided in said paragraph. At common law, a court possesses the power of directing the summoning of a grand jury upon an open venire whenever, in the discretion of the court, it be found necessary. The statutes ought not, therefore, unless the legislative intention appears otherwise, to be so construed as to deprive the court of this power. Territory Of Arizona, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. John Chartz, Supreme Court Of Arizona, 4 Ariz. 4; 32 P. 166; 1893 Ariz. LEXIS 2 citing Mackey v. People, 2 Colo. 13; Levy v. Wilson, 69 Cal. 105, 10 P. 272; Wilson v. State, 32 Tex. 112; White v. People, 81 Ill. 333; State v. Marsh, 13 Kan. 596

"Courts shall have power to procure juries by an open venire, according to the ancient practice, whenever it may happen that one is not in attendance for the trial of causes under the procedure prescribed by the act." See, also, Babcock v. People, 13 Colo. 515; Beery v. U.S., 2 Colo. 186; Mackey v. People, 2 Colo. 13; Wilson v. People, 3 Colo. 325.

It will be observed that the foregoing is only applicable "in case a grand jury is required," and that it is then selected from "the first panel." In counties like Las Animas the calling of a grand jury [***7] is discretionary with the judge. It often happens that when the first panel is drawn (as was the case here), or when the term opens, no grand jury [**456] has been ordered or decided upon. Hence we have held such acts directory only, and that grand jurors can nevertheless be summoned by open venire as under the common law. Rogers v. The People, Supreme Court of Colorado, 104 Colo. 594; 94 P.2d 453; 1939 Colo. LEXIS 317 citing Imboden v. People, 40 Colo. 142, 151, 90 Pac. 608.
CONCLUSION


Whether by the constitution or the statutes, it is the intent of the People that our Grand Jury investigates the misconduct of public officials.

It is my argument that the amendment to the state constitution that removed the Grand Jury was not validly passed. Accordingly, my assertion is the Grand Jury remains a remedy and right that the People in this state secured unto Ourselves.

Even if my argument fails, the enactment of the Grand Jury within our statutes should be construed as codification of the common law.

Under common law, a judge may summon a Grand Jury open or special venire, and appoint a separate county attorney to attend to the Grand Jury.

The constitutional officers that are reading this memorandum have the power to summon a Grand Jury to hear the evidence of corruption. As well, said officers are bound by their oaths to uphold the rights the People secured in our constitutions. The right of redress is one of these secured rights and presenting evidence of corruption to our Grand Jury is the remedy the People have set forth for redress of corruption.

Indictment and Information To permit prosecutions by private citizens would entail grave danger of vindictive use of process of criminal law and could well lead to chaos in administration of criminal justice. Syllabus by the Court 1. Appellant judges must decide for themselves whether recusal is required in case in which party claims bias. 2. A private citizen has no authority to commence and maintain private prosecutions for alleged violations of criminal law. J. J. Wild, pro se. Warren Spannaus, Atty. Gen., Richard B. Allyn, Sol. Gen., Thomas Jensen, Sp. Asst. Atty. Gen., Briggs & Morgan and l Leonard J. Keyes, St. Paul, for respondents. Considered and decided by SHERAN, C.J., and YETKA, SCOTT, WINTON, and PREECE, JJ., without oral argument. SIIERAN, Chief Justice. [1] These consolidated appeals raise the issue of whether a private citizen may commence and maintain private prosecutions for alleged violations of the criminal law. We hold that he may not. In commencing the present action, plaintiff, J. J. Wild, required the county attorneys of Ramsey and Hennepin Counties to approve criminal complaints which he had prepared against defendants' but the respective county attorneys refused to prosecute. Plaintiff then tried unsuccessfully to persuade the grand juries of the two counties to issue indictments. Finally plaintiff filed complaints himself in an attempt as a private citizen to prosecute defendants. The complaint against defendants filed in Ramsey County alleged a violation of the criminal laws against conspiracy to commit a crime, Minn.St. §609.175, subd. 2, and corruptly influencing a legislator, §609.425. The complaint against defendant Mr. Justice James C. Olia in Hennepin County alleged a violation of the criminal law against perjury, §609.48. The complaints requested that the named defendant be convicted and sentenced according to law. The respective complaints were dismissed by the district courts of Ramsey and Hennepin Counties, and these appeals from judgments followed. [2] 1. A preliminary issue is presented by the affidavits of prejudice which plaintiff had filed against the special panel of justices considering this appeal. In Section 3.42, and the commentary here, of the A. B. A. Standards of Judicial Administration, Standards Relating to Appellate Court~ (Approved Draft, 1977), state the appropriate standards and procedures to be followed in the case of challenges such as this: "3.42 Disqualification of Judges. "A judge of an appellate court must be subject to disqualification ~ in the rules set forth in the Code of Judicial Conduct recommended by the American Bar Association, and in any case in which the judgment under review is one by a court in whose decision he participated as judge in a lower court "Commentary "An appellate judge should be subject to challenge for cause on the same premise as a trial judge, and also. when an appeal involves a review of his own decision. The most difficult problem concerns the procedure to he employed. As in the challenge of a trial judge, if the challenge is sufficient on its face and any reasonable doubt of the judge's disinterestedness is suggested, the judge may be expected to disqualify himself. If he does not do so, in the case of a trial judge the actual issues relating to disqualification should properly he determined by another judge. See 5 2.32, Standards Relating to Trial Courts. In the case of an appellate judge, however, that procedure would subject the judge to decision of his disinterestedness by judicial peers with whom he may continue to serve in a collegial capacity in deciding the case. Moreover, because an appellate court decides questions of law rather than fact, the question of an appellate judge's bias' is often practically indistinguishable from the question of his views on the law, which are not properly subject to disputation through the recusal procedure. Given these complications, it is better that the question of recusal be decided by the judge himself. It he is a judge of an intermediate appellate court, there remains the remedy of appeal from a decision in which he participates; if he is judge of a supreme court, reliance must be placed on his recognition that a court should not only be disinterested but that it should appear to be so. "In some jurisdictions, provision for peremptory challenge of a trial judge is permitted. See Commentary to §232 (b), Standards Relating to Trial Courts. This procedure is inappropriate in in the case of an appellate judge. In the collegial decision-making of an appellate court an individual judges purely personal views are of less significance than they would be in a trial court and he is subject to, collegial restraint should he be inclined to act on them; an appellate judge has few occasions for exercising the broad discretion in reposing in a trial judge; and in appellate litigation there is no occasion for the ~ intense personal interaction between the judge and the lawyers and litigants that may occur in a trial court. Moreover, an appellate judge's established views on law and justice, at least up to a point, are a proper element of t-he contribution he makes to the function of an appellate court, particularly in the development of the law. A peremptory challenge might easily be abused to exclude a judge solely because a litigant disagreed with his views. [3] The three justices of the appellate court and the two district court judges assigned to the hearing of this matter pursuant to Minn.Const. art. 6, 5 2, and Minn.St. 2.724, subd. 2, have applied these standards for recusal and have determined that the affidavit of prejudice filed by plaintiff against them is without justification. District Court Judge Warren A. Saetre, originally assigned to consider this case, has recused for personal reasons. 2. As staled earlier, the issue which plaintiff raises in his appeal is whether a private citizen may commence and maintain private prosecutions for alleged violations of the criminal law. In answering this question, we start with Rule 17.01, Rules of Criminal Procedure. This rule contemplates that felonies are to be prosecuted by either indictment or complaint. The rule does not mention or allude to any right of private citizens to commence and maintain criminal prosecutions privately. Rule 2.02, Rules of Criminal Procedure, governing prosecution by complaint, provides as follows: "A complaint shall not be filed or protest issued thereon without the written ~ approval, endorsed on the complaint, of the prosecuting attorney authorized to prosecute the offense charged, unless such judge or judicial officer as may be authorized by law to issue process upon the offense certifies on the complaint that the prosecuting attorney is unavailable and the filing of the complaint and issuance of process thereon should not be delayed." This rule is in accord with A. B. A. Standards for Criminal Judicial, Standards Relating to the Prosecution Function and the Defense Function (Approved Draft, 1971), 5 2.1, which provides: "The prosecution function should be performed by a public prosecutor who is a lawyer subject to the standards of professional conduct and discipline." [4] The comment to Rule 2.02, Rules of Criminal Procedure, states that "Rule 2.02 leaves to other laws the question of the available remedy when a local prosecutor refuses to approve a complaint " One obvious available remedy is for the aggrieved citizen to try to appear before the grand jury and persuade it to indict. While a citizen does not have a right to appear before the grand jury, he is free to attempt to gel the grand jury to lake action, and under Rule 18.04, Rules of Criminal Procedure, the grand jury can permit an aggrieved citizen to appear as a witness for this purpose. The grand jury under Rules 18.01 and 18.03 consists of 16 to 23 members, randomly selected from a cross section of the county. Permitting citizens to lake complaints directly to this body serves as a kind of "safely valve" and has much to commend it. See, commentary to §2.1 of the A. B. A. Standards Relating to the Prosecution Function.' [5] There are other remedies available to an aggrieved citizen when a prosecutor refuses to commence a prosecution: (a) Minn.St. 388.12 provides: "The judge of any district court may by order entered in the minutes al any term of court appoint an attorney of such court to act as, or in the place of, or to assist, the county attorney at such term, either before the court or grand jury. The person so appointed shall take the; oath required by law of county attorneys and thereupon may perform all his duties at such term of court, but shall receive no compensation where the county attorney is present al such term, except by his consent, and to be paid from his salary." Arguably, a private citizen could petition the district court for action pursuant to this statute and the court could appoint a special prosecutor if it decided that this was necessary. See, Comment, 65 Yale L.J. 209 i 215. See, also, the discussion in the commentary to 2.1 of the A. H. A. Standards Relating to the Prosecution Function. There may be constitutional objections to this statute, but that is not an issue which we need to decide. We merely cite this statute as one of the possible alternatives is available in the case of allegedly unjustified prosecutorial inaction. (b) Another possible remedy provided by Minn.St. §8.01, which reads as follows: "The attorney general shall appear for the state in all cases in the supreme and federal courts wherein the state is directly interested; also in all civil cases of i like nature in all other courts of the slate whenever, in his opinion, the interests of the state require it Upon request of the i county attorney he shall appear in court in such criminal cases as he shall deem; proper. Whenever the governor shall so request, in writing, he shall prosecute any person charged with an indictable offense; and in all such cases he may attend upon the grand jury and exercise ~ the powers of a county attorney." Under this statute a citizen could appeal to the governor, who then might order the attorney general to commence prosecution. [6] (c) A third potential remedy is mandamus. The problem with mandamus from the standpoint of an aggrieved citizen is that the decision whether to initiate a particular prosecution is discretionary and is therefore normally beyond the scope of mandamus. For a full discussion, see, Nole, 13 Am.Crim.L.Rev, 668, 585. [7] In mentioning these alternatives we do not mean to recommend them to plaintiff. Rather, we cite them merely to demonstrate that the approach taken in Minnesota is to (a) give the grand jury and the county attorney the authority to commence prosecutions (with each theoretically acting as a check on the unjustified inaction of the other), and (b) to provide safety valve alternatives for use in extreme cases of prosecutorial inaction. In arguing that a private citizen has a right to commence and maintain a criminal prosecution, plaintiff makes many of the arguments that are made in the leading law review article on the subject. What plaintiff neglects to mention is that the authors of the comment concluded that legislative authority was needed for a system permitting private prosecution. Comment, 65 Yale L.J. 209, 233. Further, the model statute provided by the authors of the comment, like Minn.St. 388.12, authorizes appointment by the court of a substitute attorney and does not permit the aggrieved private citizen to prosecute the action himself. [8] Plaintiff has not cited and we have not found any authority justifying the instant actions. This is not surprising because to permit such prosecutions would entail grave danger of vindictive use the processes of the criminal law and could well lead to chaos in the administration of criminal justice. We are satisfied that the district courts acted properly in dismissing the attempted prosecutions. Affirmed. Mr. Justices OTIS, ROGOSHESKE, PETERSON, KELLY, TODD, MacLAUGHLIN, and KNUTSON took no part in the consideration or decision in this case.

PLEASE FORWARD TO YOUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS Yesterday Democrats in the House Government Operations Committee killed the Photo ID bill (HF57). This common sense measure would have required the presentation of a government-issued photographic identification when voting. It included a provision to provide a free identification card to any eligible voter who does not currently have a photo ID. It would have resulted in bringing greater integrity and public confidence in our election system. Although polls show this bill has 80% public support, these so-called "representatives" killed the bill in committee. They claim that the law would have "disenfranchised" the poor and the elderly. But numerous studies from states that have implemented similar laws prove this is not the case. Over the past several months, Minnesota Majority has uncovered mountains of evidence suggesting problems in our current election system. However, these "representatives" have chosen to simply "look the other way". It seems they want to perpetuate a system that invites error and abuse because they believe it to be to their political advantage. The real people being "disenfranchised" in our elections are legitimate voters whose votes are being undermined by errors and abuse.

Proposed St. Paul budget cuts 'devastating,' mayor says - TwinCities.com Say goodbye to St. Paul city government as you know it. Cops, firefighters, prosecutors and inspectors: laid off, resulting in perhaps 400 fewer jobs. Hamline Library: closed. Other libraries: hours reduced heavily. Half the street lights: turned off. Plowing of side streets during snow emergencies: only at 4 inches. Eight recreation centers: closed or with barely a city presence. These are among the proposed cuts — nothing's final yet — recommended by Mayor Chris Coleman's top staffers, including those in charge of police, fire, public works, libraries, and parks and recreation. "These are devastating," Coleman said Thursday, shortly after the city released the recommendations, which aim to fill a gaping budget hole over the next two years

To The "Crooks" in Minnesota Government !

I Bill Dahn, feel this state is so crooked.

I was the one that Jesse Ventura "Bribed" to switch political parties in 1998 for Minnesota Governors Race, that Dean Barkley was cameraman and he was there at my home with Jesse Ventura on July 19,1998 as a co-conspirator.

Watch the two minute video on my web site of Jesse Ventura and Dean Barkley Bribing Bill Dahn and

James Kane to switch from the Reform Party to the Republican Party >> http://www.billdahn.com/ <<

We in Minnesota need honest government, if not - we do not need a government that lies, steal, and try to shut up the people that would be corrupt. I speaks out for the rights of the people.

"ALL" in the Minnesota Government knows my name, and has a fear of my ability to screw up this government by being a Native American - German that learned the law and the cheating ways that all politicians in this state go by.

I will be at the State capital for the rally Thursday Feb. 12, 2009 at 8 am to give you zzzzzz zzzz, a notice of my attentions, that I as one Disabled Minnesotan will stand up for my right of "FREE SPEACH" and the right to "PROTEST" the "Government" to "Change" their dishonest ways !
