Restraining Orders Unconstitutional in New Jersey?

The Supremacists-at-Bar were horrified about the decision. It means the collapse of their arrangement running trial courts as renegade Star Chambers.

The position of big-government advocates on domestic violence is absurd. They pretend having to present evidence that violence will (or has) occurred will make it impossible to get restraining orders. Of course, having to present a little hard evidence never stopped a court from making a prompt ruling. Having to present evidence means that trial lawyers could no longer abuse restraining orders as roadside bombs to commandeer families, children, and assets in divorce, immigration, and fantasy litigation cases (such as the woman who actually got a restraining order against David Letterman for being on television).

Readers must understand that radicals steering big government are not individuals who truly care about women or equality. They are individuals lobbying to expand the business base for trial lawyers, psychologists, foster care, adoption services, and a Colosseum full of other businesses that profit from deconstructing marriage.

This political-industrial complex reshaped government so that the only options available to women are the ones that put them at the mercy of big government that often later takes their children. Terri Lynn Tersak, True Equality Network's CEO, sums it up precisely: "-these individuals are to feminism, what false prophets are to religion"-.

Upholding Crespo predicts decreases in domestic violence and better service for women who have been abused. Abuse of restraining orders injects tremendous conflict into spousal relationships. For this reason, the vast majority of domestic violence occurs after issuance of a restraining order. Women's abuse centers and courts are clogged with thousands of cases filed for strategic purposes. Truly abused women fall through the cracks.

If divorce is necessary, the dissolution and custody of children should be determined on the merits. Those who are irresponsible to the marriage or abuse mood altering chemicals should not be the victor "" which is often the case when domestic violence laws are misused.

According to an Associated Press article, the New Jersey Attorney General's office is presently seeking leave to appeal this decision, which is likely to ultimately wind up in the New Jersey Supreme Court.

We shall soon see if the New Jersey Supreme Court is working for the people, or for trade lobbies. Unquestionably, the court must uphold Crespo if its members place the Constitution and Separation of Powers doctrines before the vicarious demands of profiteering trial lawyers and other anti-marriage advocates.
