THE FALL OF JUDGE DUFF
======================
When the Gods Fall, the Earth Trembles
--------------------------------------
Past commentaries by Sherman H. Skolnick of the Citizens'
Committee to Clean Up the Courts contain mention of a "Judge
Brian Barnett Duff." Recall, for example, this excerpt from CN
9.07:
Called BNL, it had records of Iraqi strongman Saddam
Hussein and his secret private joint business dealings with
his partner, an American. A close crony of the Federal
Reserve, Chicago Federal District Judge Brian Barnett Duff,
ordered the return of any records from the Banking
Committee, then headed by a Democrat, Rep. Henry Gonzalez
(D., Texas).
The House Banking Committee was an intervening
party-litigant in the controversy. Judge Duff so opposed
the House Banking Committee's efforts to get those records,
that the Judge would not listen to the Committee's
attorney; did not want the attorney in the Judge's
courtroom, the Judge calling him an 800 pound gorilla
showing no respect for the court.
As background to a detailed story by Mr. Skolnick, now in my
possession, I call attention to an article in the Chicago Tribune
of October 11, 1996 ("Beleagured judge steps down from U.S.
bench").
According to the Tribune article, "U.S. District Judge Brian Duff
resigned Thursday after more than a decade of erratic behavior on
the bench." Why did Duff resign? Mr. Skolnick describes Duff as
raving and ranting "like he had just escaped from a nut house" at
one hearing. Says U.S. District Judge Marvin Aspen, Duff "has a
legitimate physical disability." According to Mr. Skolnick, it
had become "widely known and understood that Judge Duff is
certifiably insane, and has a psychiatric disability."
It should be noted that mental illness is a complex disease and
that those who suffer from it ought not to be stigmatized. Many
of the so-called "mentally ill" are able to live normal lives,
and indeed, some experts in the field (such as R.D. Laing, for
example) characterize so-called "insanity" as in fact being
"hyper sanity" -- meaning that those so labeled are actually
