Johnson claims to be the only person who has sued the Comptroller of the Currency for a failure to regulate a national bank -- the Bank of America -- which he did in the early 1980s. Johnson's 15-minutes of fame came in the mid-1980s. Then a manager of computing at Stanford University, he sued the Pentagon, challenging the constitutionality of its nuclear hair-trigger "launch on warning" posture, for riskily and unconstitutionally delegating the decision to initiate nuclear Armageddon to a 3-minute computer-governed military drill. Johnson is currently challenging the Treasury and GAO in federal court, for misrepresentations as to Federal Reserve versus United States currency. The case raises novel issues of law re the government's right to lie. OpEd News Member for 750 week(s) and 3 day(s) 28 Articles, 0 Quick Links, 172 Comments, 4 Diaries, 3 Series, 0 Polls

Friday, October 28, 2016California's Death Penalty: Mike Ramos v. Kevin Cooper and Proposition 62 In obtaining Kevin Cooper's controversial capital conviction, San Bernardino D.A. Mike Ramos raised unresolved but resolvable doubts as to the integrity of his office. Already campaigning to become the state A.G. in 2018, Ramos raises further doubts by categorically misrepresenting that Proposition 66, to accelerate the death penalty, redirects first appeals from the state supreme court to regular courts of appeal.

Friday, October 14, 2016California's Death Penalty: The California Supreme Court's Carefulness Con In California, competing death penalty ballot initiatives both stress that since 1977 only 13 of 951 death sentences have been carried out. But neither side recognizes that the exoneration rate is also scandalously low--at 3 in 951, it is one seventh the rate in other states. In conjunction with in-depth analysis, this statistic squelches the California Supreme Court's "careful examination" excuse for extreme delays.

Wednesday, December 16, 2015Overdue Process And The Death Penalty In light of systemically dysfunctional appellate processes increasingly at issue in death penalty cases such as Jones v.

Wednesday, May 6, 2015Monetary Sovereignty? Give Me A Break! (Part I) The TPP's failure to set a standard for deciding in which currency to award lost profit damages against governments is a grave threat to the public fisc, but not to monetary sovereignty.

Wednesday, May 6, 2015Monetary Sovereignty? Give Me A Break! (Part II) The US is cognitively incapable of exercising monetary sovereignty even in issuing its very own $1 coin. Restoring full monetary sovereignty re $1 denominations by eliminating the $1 bill would result in prompt multi-billion dollar seigniorage gains--even after fully paying for the change--and would restore monetary sovereignty more broadly, if only by curing Fed-fed ignorance.
