Goals

What are the goals of our American Tribunal?

The primary goal is to re-establish a nation that is honest and just.

But there are several other goals.

Restoring Justice

Justice in America is more than simply laws that apply equally to all. Justice in America also requires that just laws be made, that injust laws be removed, and that there be fair and equal access to legal procedures by everyone regardless of wealth or status.

The United States has become unjust. And what justice remains is to be acquired only at high costs, often costs that can be afforded only the the very wealthy.

Law on the books go unenforced and the concept of legal standing has been elevated to a fine art in order to prevent judicial review of obvious crimes and usurpation of public assets by private actors. For instance, no one it seems has standing to bring legal action to prevent President Trump's clear violation of the Constitution's emoluments clauses.

People who are harmed or discriminated against by Federal or State government actors often find themselves barred from redress by "qualified immunity" of police, almost royal immunity of the President, claims of "national security", and by laundering impermissible government actions through friendly private actors (such as when Elon Musk's DOGE, a body of unclear provenance, raved Federal agencies in ways that Atilla the Hun could only admire.)

Our laws have been twisted through bizarre interpretations, such as our Supreme Court's declarations that racism is absent from situations in which racism is clearly alive and well. Or when SCOTUS failed to perceive how money, gifts, and privileged access are used to influence and purchase government acts unless there is a rare tit-for-tat, quid-pro-pro agreement.

We have seen Federal and State officers - from attorney generals (such as Paxton in Texas, and Bondi and Blanche at the Federal level) become zealots pursuing political opponents while turning a blind on on the acts of political supporters.

President Trump is well described as a "coin operated President".

Massive corporate mergers have been permitted when the result benefits the Trump family or Trump Organization.

Voting is being suppressed; SCOTUS uses its "shadow docket", particularly when presented with contrived and tailored cases, to become a new legislature, superseding Congress and the Presidential signature.

We should not limit our goals to redress only matters that occurred with the borders of the US or afflicted US citizens or residents. The TME harms are world wide.

Restitution For Those Who Have Been Harmed

The Tump/MAGA Era (TME) has destroyed the wealth, lives, and families of so many people and small enterprises.

Some of that destruction was sheer wanton rapine and destruction. The Trump/Miller deportation industry has separated parents from children (possibly forever), broken homes, and deported innocents.

Some of that destruction was quasi-religious and anti-science reaction against modernity. Trump and RFK have replaced medical science with primitive tribal voodoo. One can plausibly assert that Trump, through his non-reaction to Covid, and now (with the help of people like RFK jr.) have killed more Americans than did WW-II.

We can not fully restore those losses. Partial restoration is possible, even though it may significant cost to do so. We ought to consider those costs to be our national penance for permitting TME to ruin so much.

Restoration of Institutions

The first half of the second Trump/MAGA administration has been a wonton wrecking of Federal agencies. Atilla the Hun could not have accomplished so much destruction in so short a time.

Much of this was mindless, such as done by Elon Musks' DOGE post adolescent "know it all" boyz who simply chopped, cut, and took. Much of that damage, particularly the transfer of unknown, but massive amounts, of personally identifiable private information of citizens into unknwon private hands is damage that can never be repaired.

Other destruction was planned far in advance, and was even published in works such as Project 2025. For example, the eradication of the Department of Education had been planned for years.

The list of Federal agencies that have been ravished is long, a few examples will suffice:

• USAID
• The Kennedy Center
• The Department of Education
• The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Some agencies have been re-purposed. Best known is the transformation of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) into an unaccountable secret police force reminiscent of the Soviet Unions NKVD or East Germany's STASI.

Re-Establishment of Trust In the US Federal Government

Americans have a long history of mistrust of the government in general and the Federal government in particular. Often that mistrust has been ungrounded suspicions. However, the Trump/MAGA administration has given people concrete evidence of predatory acts, bibery, insider trading, and disregard for laws by Federal officers and agencies.

Trust is easily lost and is difficult to re-create.

Clawbacks of Improperly Obtained Money, Assets, Powers, Privileges, and Immunities

Punishment of Ill Actors

Deterrence of Future Bad Acts

Reversing Entrenched Systems

The Trump/MAGA era has resurrected racism and manipulated voting. Gerrymandering is now common. Elections laws and procedures are being created to dictate outcomes that permanently entrench the Trump/MAGA universe.

We must find means to unwind these biased systems - including possible removal and replacement of elected or appointed officials.
