Worst Judges List

Campbell County

Judge D. Michael "Mickey" Foellger

What does this Campbell County judge have in common with Adolf Hitler?

In his book "Mein Kampf", German dictator and madman Adolf Hitler demanded the forced sterilization of all "cretins, cripples, and undesirables". The Reich is long gone, but the spirit of Der Führer still lives on in Kentucky's Campbell County.

Judge D. Michael "Mickey" Foellger insists that he's "not trying to make a statement", but in cases where fathers owe over $10,000 in child support and have children with more than three women, he's given male defendants a choice: jail, or forced steralization.

The mind reels when one considers how a public official can openly promote a concept such as forced sterilization -- a brutal assault against an individual -- and yet say he is not making a statement. Unless of course Judge Foellger thinks so little of human rights in the first place.

From his other public statements, one can surmise that Judge Foellger sneers in the face of human and civil rights. In the National Law Journal, he arrogantly stated "I wasn't elected by the church" when speaking about the fascist policies he hands down from the bench. This statement is quite revealing of Foellger's nature; it shows that he knows his policies are fundamentally immoral and unethical, yet he does not care.

And what's worse, his arrogance haas been excused by our nation's Supreme Court which recently ruled that forced sterilization is not an assault on civil rights. This is the same Supreme Court which recently ruled that big business can seize prime real estate land from ordinary people in the name of urban development (read, big business), proving once again that Nazi-like measures to deal with social issues are becoming more and more popular in this country.

Judge Foellger is obviously content riding the Fascist tide. But as his statement points out, he's "elected" to his position. Kentucky citizens would be well advised to stop him now, because judges like this might one day suggest concentration camps and gas chambers for "undesirables".

Mercer County

Judge F. Lee Forrester

Rewards American naval officer's service in Iraq with Reduced Parenting Time

Superior Court Judge F. Lee Forrester of Mercer County has an interesting way of rewarding military dads for their service overseas. In the recent case of Grother v. Keenan, lieutenant Scott Keenan, an intelligence officer in the Naval Reserves, was deployed overseas for three weeks around the time of the September 11 attacks as part of our nation's extra security measures to protect citizens. Because Lt. Keenan did his duty, he lost his ability to exercise all of his allotted parenting time with his elementary school-age boys. Judge Forrester -- in strange show of patriotism -- permanently reduced his parenting time by 20%.

This flagrant act was not only a display of hatred against non-custodial parents, it was also a slap in the face to American military personnel in a time of war.

Middlesex County

Judge Fred Keiser, Jr.

Responsible for Death of Non-Custodial Parent

The individual pictured at the right issued a summary death sentence for divorced dad and fathers' rights activist Wilbur Street. He is Superior Court Judge Fred Keiser, Jr., seen here yucking it up at a legal conference in Middlesex County.

In 2004, Keiser presided over a Middlesex County child support case involving Mr. Street, who was suffering from Lou Gehrig's disease and bound to a wheelchair. Ignoring Mr. Street's serious health condition, Keiser issued an arrest warrant to collect chil;d support arrears. Mr. Street, who was previously beaten by police in Middlesex County, took Wilbur into custody and allegedly denied him treatment for his disease. Mr. Street died a few days later and his death was brushed under the carpet by state authorities.

The actions of this irresponsible jurist is a clear example of why the system must be reformed. Without any oversight, neither of courts, or child support agencies, or police organizations, Mr. Street was effectively put to death by the state for failure to pay a debt -- and an artificial one at that.

NCPForce! is now vigorously engaged in an effort to bring Wilbur Street's killers to justice and the guilty parties held accountable for their actions. Please visit our Avenger Project page to learn how you can help.
