Identification & Terminology:
The term "J.A.I.L." shall stand for "Judicial
Accountability Initiative Law," but as it relates to Congress and non-initiative
states, it shall mean "Judicial Accountability & Integrity Legislation."
"J.A.I.L." is copyrighted in Washington, D.C. The terms "he", "his" and
"him" shall refer to either male or female.
Foundation of J.A.I.L.:
After years of frustration with the legal
system, Ronald Branson authored the original text of J.A.I.L. in April
of 1995 which he then titled "The Judicial Reform Act of 1996," ("J.R.A.")
On November 30, 2022 he filed J.R.A. with the California Secretary of State.
In 1997 the Initiative was re-titled as indicated in the preceding paragraph.
Objective:
J.A.I.L. shall have a single objective
and focus. That objective shall be solely and exclusively the establishment
of a system of judicial accountability to the People through creating independent
citizens' bodies of "Special Grand Juries" in each and every state in the
Union, and over every federal judge through Federal J.A.I.L. Legislation
to Congress.
Means:
In order to carry out its objective, J.A.I.L.
has established a ten-rank national chain of command. While J.A.I.L.'s
objective seeks a new American Revolution, it shall promote that Revolution
only through non-violent political means. It abhors and forbids truculent
behavior. The ten ranks of J.A.I.L. command shall be:
J.A.I.L. Commander-In-Chief:
The J.A.I.L. Commander-In-Chief (CIC) is vested
with ultimate authority over all affairs of J.A.I.L. nationally. The J.A.I.L.
Commander-In-Chief shall appoint and delegate authority to its national
leadership. He shall have the authority to appoint JAILers-In-Chief over
every state, to declare vacancies, and to fill state positions at his discretion
until such time as the state has established an open and fair election
process for all JAILers at stated times and means, which times and means
shall be established in their states' Constitution and By-Laws. No
state Constitution & By-Laws (hereinafter, "C & B-Ls") shall be
in conflict with the National J.A.I.L. Constitution & By-Laws.
Lieutenant Commander-In-Chief:
The Lieutenant Commander-In-Chief (Lt. CIC) shall
assist in carrying out the will and desires of the Commander-In-Chief,
and shall be the Chair of the Associate Commanders-In-Chief. He shall serve
as the Commander-In-Chief in the absence, incapacity, or demise of the
Commander-In-Chief; and shall continue in that capacity until such time
as an election of a new Commander-In-Chief takes place by vote of the Associate
Commanders-In-Chief and the Lt. Commander-In-Chief, which election shall
be noticed for and held on the first Tuesday of November of even-numbered
years, or as soon thereafter as possible.
Associate Commanders-In-Chief:
The Associate Commanders-In-Chief (ACIC) shall
be appointed by the Commander-In-Chief, and shall serve National J.A.I.L.
at his pleasure. The CIC may appoint as many ACICs as he deems necessary
to carry out the mission of National J.A.I.L. Administration. They
shall serve as Cabinet Members of National J.A.I.L., and may be removed
by the CIC at his will. Except for contractual issues, an ACIC shall have
the authority, in the first instance, to speak for the CIC; however, such
decision may be appealed to the Lt. CIC, who may amend or reverse such
decision. Ultimate appeal may be had to the CIC. Upon a twenty-day notice
to all affected, and by a majority vote, the ACICs shall have sole
power of impeachment over any and all positions within J.A.I.L. The CIC
may not remove an Associate Commander-In-Chief during such impending impeachment
process. The Lt. Commander-In-Chief shall have a tie-breaking vote among
the ACICs on issues other than impeachment.
JAILer-In-Chief:
The JAILer-In-Chief (JIC) is the Chief Executive
Officer in a state. Except as otherwise established in the states' C &
B-Ls regarding elections, he shall appoint all leaders within the state,
declare vacancies, and fill positions at his discretion. He shall attend
to his responsibility of faithfully carrying out the advancement of the
objective of J.A.I.L. within his state. He shall cause to be sent a copy
of the state's C & B-Ls to the CIC upon its implementation. Every
JAILer-In-Chief shall post an open state of the state progress report to
his states' JAILers at large, and shall submit the same to the CIC sometime
during the third quarter (July through September) of each year.
Lt. JAILer-In-Chief:
The Lt. JAILer-In-Chief (Lt. JIC) shall assist
in carrying out the will and desires of the JAILer-In-Chief, and shall
be the Chair of the Associate JAILers-In-Chief. He may vote with the AJICs
only in the case of a tie. He shall serve as the JAILer-In-Chief in the
absence, incapacity, or demise of the JAILer-In-Chief until such time as
an election takes place for that purpose as established by the state's
C & B-Ls.
Associate JAILers-In-Chief:
The Associate JAILers-In-Chief (AJIC) shall be
appointed by the JAILer-In-Chief who may appoint as many Associate JAILers-In-Chief
as he deems necessary to carry out his authority. They shall serve at his
pleasure and may be removed at his will. Unless the state's Constitution
and By-laws shall express otherwise, with the exception of contractual
issues, an AJIC may speak with the authority of the JIC; however, such
decision may be appealed first to the Lt. JIC, and finally to the JIC,
either of whom may amend or reverse the standing decision.
J.A.I.L. Warden:
Subject to the state's JAILer-In-Chief, J.A.I.L.
Wardens shall be in charge over all J.A.I.L. affairs of their respective
counties, which assembly shall be known as J.A.I.L. Cells, (or "Cells"
for short) throughout the state. The Warden should practice to be very
aggressive in attracting media attention, giving media interviews, initiating
barbeques, directing fundraising events, holding demonstrations, initiating
public court appearances, and presiding at J.A.I.L. Cell meetings over
the county's JAILers. During the months of March and September the Wardens
shall seek to assure that everyone has posted their semi-annual support
to National J.A.I.L. as set forth in "National J.A.I.L. Support" below.
(The J.A.I.L Warden's position is the most basic outreach and public of
all J.A.I.L. leadership positions. They are the backbone of J.A.I.L.'s
Revolutionary Victory for America!)
(In exceptional cases of extremely large population
such as Los Angeles County having the population exceeding forty-two states,
or of enormity of geographical size, such as San Bernardino County covering
a width of about two-hundred miles, such counties may be broken up into
electoral districts such as State Assembly Districts, each electoral district
being treated as a separate county with a separate J.A.I.L. Warden for
each district.)
Lieutenant Warden:
The Lieutenant Warden shall assist in carrying
out the will and desires of the J.A.I.L. Warden. He shall serve as
the Warden in the absence, incapacity, or demise of the Warden. He shall
be the Chair of the Associate Wardens.
Associate Warden:
The Associate Warden shall serve as the staff
of the Warden of his county and at the Warden's pleasure. The Warden may
appoint as many Associate Wardens as he shall deem necessary for carrying
out his duties as described in subparagraph 7 above.
JAILer:
"JAILer" shall have a dual meaning. (A) As JAILer
applies to the chain of command, it refers to a member holding no formal
J.A.I.L. leadership position. As such, "JAILers" are the ground foot-soldiers
of J.A.I.L. They are what makes J.A.I.L. actually happen. (B) Apart from
leadership consideration, all J.A.I.L. members shall be referred to generically
as "JAILers."
Competitiveness:
It shall be the policy of J.A.I.L. to encourage
JAILers to aspire to higher positions of authority consistent with the
state's C & B-Ls by seeking to excel by appointments, elections or
requesting the scepter from the holder thereof in pursuit of improving
the quality and aggressiveness of J.A.I.L.'s leadership.
Allegiances:
J.A.I.L. shall remain racially and gender
neutral. While it is acknowledged that J.A.I.L. has many JAILers holding
different religious and anti-religious values, J.A.I.L. is not a religious
organization or movement. It adopts or supports no religious position,
or political party. It has but a single goal of judicial accountability--
nothing more, and nothing less!
National J.A.I.L. Support:
Thomas Paine said in 1777, "Those who expect
to reap the blessing of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of
supporting it." Likewise, should we expect to achieve Victory in America
without supporting it, we seek something that has never been, nor shall
ever be. From the founder's personal viewpoint, J.A.I.L. is a cause worthy
of half your tithe. He would love to see everyone purpose in their heart
to donate 5% of all their worldly gain they have been entrusted with to
J.A.I.L. Notwithstanding this fact, J.A.I.L. hereby imposes a National
J.A.I.L. semi-annual support in the amount of ten ($10) dollars on each
and every JAILer payable during the months of March and September of each
year. Such support shall be handled on the honor system. It is hoped that
this miniscule amount of ten dollars will inspire JAILers to donate more
by writing a 2, 3, or 4 in front of the zero instead of the 1, or to add
a zero to the 10 according as they have been blessed by J.A.I.L.'s outreach.
J.A.I.L. has become the hope of the future for so very many, and certainly
worthy of your financial support! Such support shall be made payable to
"J.A.I.L." and sent to: P.O. Box 207, N. Hollywood, Ca. 91603.
J.A.I.L. Colors:
The official J.A.I.L. colors shall be Yellow-Gold
on Navy Blue.
