Judge Judy's friends
The New York Post - EDITORIAL - March 7, 2010
Former New York Chief Judge Judith Kaye has become the “go to” lawyer these days for dubious outfits that find themselves in hot water. The shady Working Families Party hired Kaye and her firm, Skadden Arps, to conduct an internal review of its for-profit arm in hopes of forestalling prosecutors’ criminal probes. And when top brass at the State University system found itself under the gun thanks to the scandal-scarred SUNY-Binghamton basketball program, it, too, turned to Kaye. SUNY has been taking criticism as the result of Binghamton President Lois DeFleur’s ambitious program to bring big-time basketball to her campus. DeFleur and Athletic Director Joel Thirer decided their school should move from Division III to the top-level Division I and push hard for a berth in the NCAA tournament. So they built a $33 million arena and hired a new head coach, Kevin Broadus, to recruit top athletes. Within two years, Binghamton had made the tournament. But then the school’s hoop dreams turned into a nightmare. Broadus’ players had been steered into courses like Bowling I and Theories of Softball; when they couldn’t pass even those, their grades were changed. Before long, three of his players had been expelled and two others kicked off the team for arrests ranging from shoplifting to selling crack. Broadus was fired, Thirer resigned and DeFleur has announced her retirement. But it wasn’t SUNY — or even Binghamton — that gave Kaye what turned out to be a million-dollar contract. It was the Research Foundation of the State University of New York — whose money is supposed to support instruction and organized research. Officials say they had the foundation pay so that taxpayer money wouldn’t be used to fund her report. But it also allowed SUNY to get around a state law requiring that such contracts be let out to bid and approved by both the attorney general and the comptroller. It also meant, according to published reports, that SUNY Chancellor Nancy Zimpher was able to steer the contract directly to Kaye, her preferred choice to head the probe. And, wouldn’t you know it, Kaye’s report pretty much spared top SUNY officials from serious criticism. Fortunately, the school says it will repay half of the cost of the contract — which gives state Comptroller Tom DiNapoli the right to get involved. As he most definitely should.

Give Andy a break. He'll never get elected as Governor unless he sticks his head up the behind of the old, corrupt establishment. And he knows his head has to stay there for the duration.
I wonder if Bernadette E. Lupinetti, Esq. has her head up Andy's ass in other to avoid prosecution for case rigging, sexually exploiting children, kidnapping so on, on you know corruption. she does look like an ass upper.
I thought Andrew Cuomo was his own man. Obviously NOT. Who told Andrew to pick Kaye? I bet it was Shelly Silver. That's it for me. No longer will I vote for Cuomo. He's done in my book.
I wrote a comment on the BUFFALO NEWS WEBITE newspaper a few hours ago..... to inform upstate readers about who the hell Judy Kaye is from a front page headline... as no one here ever heard of her, and actually believe that she is a reliable prosecutor for the AG.
15 seconds after I hit the submit button on this article...which was the third largest on that front page...the article went to the second page...regions section...below their 4 top headlines there, on the bottom left.
Funny that the BUFFALO NEWS complained last year in a fancy article written by the editor..MARGARET SULLLIVAN...stating SHE could not get FOIL information from our MAYOR BROWN relative to multiple issues....and if she rarely did get anything, it came many months later...like 18 months.
The BN knows now that when I write, I write the truth, as I believe that they have checked my facts for a year...so I am considered a regular releaser of FOIL information...kidding.....but their censoring and hiding of my comments, and the flipping of articles that I comment on.....shows the media is reporting only what they believe should be told to American citizens...gathered from FOIL summaries. Filthy, racist comments remain untouched.
People that express the truth to the media..... are often relegated to obscure sections...to show possibly, that the media will print some truth...but finding it, is generally an impossibility, and the masses will rarely ever look hard enough to locate it.
I don't know whether to laugh at them or inform those writers about this game.....but if you read internet news enough...you probably realize the censorship puzzle.
Also, I am in possession of several e-mails from a female BUFFALO COURT EMPLOYMENT administative blah, blah....who reports and asks permission of the administrative judge if she should call the "editor" of the BUFFALO NEWS..to see if the judge wants to influence the EDITOR OF THE BUFF NEWS...relative to printing anything I write..even if it is within the "personal letters to the editor" column.
The truth is truly getting to the print news...even if they censor most, which is all the more telling and powerful..they know they cannot compete with the internet blogs... so keep writing and exposing, as I see more and more of what I write being allowed...even if it is at the bottom of your computer...near the start button.
What does Allen Isaac and Judge Kaye have in common? They're both the GO TO PEOPLE!!! GET ALLEN, GET ALLEN, you have to GO TO ALLEN if you want a FAVOR!!!
Jezebel Kaye is the wife of the Proskauer Partner, Ahab/Stephen Kaye. She and her husband worshiped in Baal's cult of corrupt judges/lawyers. When has she ever gone against her Baal's cult? Proskauer was involved in most major corruption and had the most clients victimized by Madoff.
She is the dark side of Judaism, even Elisha feared her. All who she aids are corrupt. Cuomo knowingly seeks her dark side's aid.
The harlot Judith Kaye belongs in JAIL. Did Andrew reach out to Kaye because his dad put her in place? I smell a RAT - a BIG RAT! The fix is in, we will see how long it takes to play out.
with the feds no where to be found in ny recently and all the inaction occurring, articles like this should be looked at seriously
where is the one federal judge in ny that folks from this blog can go to?

Funny.. today the BUFFALO NEWS has written an editorial called...MORE TRANSPARENCY...re...the FOIL LAW and TRANSPARENCY in 'all' government entities, using this statement as their final sentence..."Sometimes, the truth hurts. But, in a democracy,secrecy hurts more".
Do you think the BUFFALO NEWS read what was written above...and now want to report years of insider court information?
Or do you think the BUFFALO NEWS wrote a false article about themselves, to counter what I said they really do do....to convince the public...they ARE telling them all they need to know...even the stuff that arrives in their mail about criminal and abusive activity in the BUFALLO COURTHOUSES?
they also use the State Troopers
TO PASS FAKE STUFF
easy enough just pass fake info anywhere and
CATCH ME IF YOU CAN!
Do you think the BUFFALO NEWS read what was written above...and now want to report years of insider court information?
I think they mean it but I do believe they are stiffled, although Prohaska has been doing an excellent job covering Niagara County and politics,
Buffalo is a small town, do you really think I want to hurt all those that have hurt me.....
no, I do not but something has to change you can not do these things to others or whom you select to do them to and many of them should be in prison!
To 11:21, where was the Buffalo News about prosecution and reform in NY courts, or Judges Lippman and Ramos and the 40 million dollars taken? When someone asks you to trust them, think: in only God I trust; all others pay cash and I check their credit and credibility.
The people lost their faith in the NY media, the NY State Police, and NY politicians, judges and lawyers. And now they've spent us out of State money. Do your duty; don't buy the Buffalo News; vote.
hey Govknowsit,
The only reason you know that the corruption is so rampant, hidden is you have experienced it, everyone knows it exists until they fall victim to it, then and only then does a person understand how sick and sadistic the whole system is to protect the guilty and harm the innocent.......
sometimes the good guys gotta wait for the right fall guy to take the crud down, so your efforts in reporting I believe, have not gone unnoticed!
Our newspapers are being stiffled, they are the weapons of mass destruction, remember they have nuclear weapons in Irag, we can satellite into your backyard & home but no one ever found those weapons.........
someone needs to make our papers print a corruption edition.....print all complaints against lawyers judges and public officials and tell those that payoff others to hide such complaints to stick that newspaper......well I do not have to finish that statement...
We also need a Federal Number as Frank Brady has suggested to the citizens and public to report such abuses......
no one should commit suicide because they have a psychotic stalker who can falsify anything they want to lawyers judges and public officials to harm their victim....
I have had 3 cases of court corruption and did the lawyers judges and public officials turn it in as they are supposed to? nope or the 2,3 would not have happened......
We the People need the phone number and dual agencies to investigate citizens complaints and a newspaper to print all complaints...........
they rig those votes too if they can......we need a public corruption edition......
so that no law firms, no judges and no public officials use our courts for their personal gain or vendettas.....
they have bankrupted our entire state and stiffled every gov't agency every newspaper to stop the abuse of power!
TERROISTS AND PROSTITUTES AT THEIR FINEST!
I knew court corruption existed long before I fell victim to it twice..... as I was raised for 8-12 hrs a day, 6 days plus a week.... right in a courtroom for 30 yrs!
When you grow up somewhere....you learn to recognize, smell, taste and breathe, whatever it is that is excreted from that place....and so I have knowledge very few people have...relative to the NY justice system.
The games are on with both state and federal court....but I taste and smell every twist and turn....and what both courts did to me with the false 1997 settlement...will never happen again....things are way different now...communication can be an individual publication..everyday!
