The wave of public opinion demanding that Chancellor
Bouchard be held accountable, for what I and many others view as illicit
activity, is transforming into a full-blown tsunami. Below, I have chosen 10
recent responses to share with you, but I could be sharing 100.
As you will read below, the groundswell of Delaware citizens
who are writing to me about being fed up with Bouchard seemingly feathering the
nest of his former law partners at Skadden Arps and other cronies, have reached
a fever pitch. What seems to be bothering them most is the perception that his
personal patriarchy has profited for too long at the expense of Delaware
corporations, Delaware taxpayers, and Delaware’s now tarnished image.
Chancellor Bouchard’s actions have convinced me (and many of my readers) that
he seems to lack the ethical character required for the job, to put it mildly.
My readers are expressing outrage in droves, and are all
Delaware voters. I wonder how long the elected members of our General Assembly
can continue to turn a blind eye to the public’s demand for anti-corruption and
transparency controls to be placed on the Chancery Court?!?
Recently, Delaware’s “Judge Evil” (as I like to
call him), the Chancellor, ordered yet another successful company dissolved for
“dysfunction”. In laymen’s terms this appears to simply be executives
fighting on email. So Delaware corporations likely should worry if they happen
to write an email the Chancellor may find concerning. Heck, he could decide to
take out a company, dissolve it, or sell it off subjectively any time he feels
the urge! Funny how much Skadden and/or his other cronies seem to profit when
this happens??
Bouchard’s pattern of illogical and unprecedented decisions,
enriching his “Good Old Boy” network of elites, now includes
Inspirion Delivery Services, LLC. In my recent article titled “Delaware
Chancellor Bouchard Orders Another Delaware Corporation Dissolved-Bad for
Business”, I pointed out Bouchard’s most recent act of judicial over-reach,
further inequities of his seemingly capricious decision-making, and his
seemingly blatant hubris resulting in grotesque appearances of what appears to
be impropriety.
As it turned out, this piece resonated deeply with you, my
dear readers. The TransPerfect case — where millions of dollars in invoices
are still being hidden by Bouchard’s apparent abuse of power, now has Delaware
citizens fervently demanding reform.
I appreciate your feedback so much, and the only thing I
appreciate more, is your zeal in calling for legislative reform. The people
have spoken: They are saying in so many words: “The unchecked power of
Bouchard’s Chancery Court is unconstitutional and bad for Delaware
business.” Now, they must be heard in Dover!
Again, I have received countless responses; here are 10 samples,
but they are reflective of a greater anti-corruption and transparency movement
by my readers. I have removed my readers’ last names for their protection
because in my opinion the “Good Old Boy” patriarchy that runs
Delaware is a powerful and vengeful bunch.
Thank you for your feedback! Keep ’em coming.

Judson, This guy sounds worse than the rotten deep state that has attacked our country and tried to overthrow the government. Typical Democrat move by an incompetent JUDGE! Keep up the great work exposing this bastard! ABNER

My God, does this guy ever stop with his corruption — right in the face of all of us. So much arrogance, so much hubris.
Thanks for keeping us updated. Linda

Jud,
How the hell can the State Legislature close their eyes to
this?? It seems as if Chancellor Bouchard hurts companies instead of helping
them. Certainly not good for Delaware’s business or future. So terribly absurd!
Keep up the good work. Love your articles. Best regards, Brian

Hey Judson, The corruption in the Delaware Judiciary has been going on for years. The Democrats have become so blatant with it, it is apparent for all to see. Unless we get rid of this Status Quo Legislature, nothing will change. Another Delaware incorporated company will bite the dust at the hands of Bouchard. He has got to go! Keep up the good work you do. Archie

Judson: When a judge withholds public documents that the people have a right to see, all kinds of red flags go up? When a Judge colludes with an attorney involved in a case he is presiding over, it is criminal. I can remember being so proud of being a Delawarean, but no more. It is hard to believe that our state has become so business unfriendly! It used to be there was compromise, and reason, and yes justice. The likes of these Skadden Arps former lawyers and their collusion with each other is outrageous! “Inspirion Delivery Services, LLC” looks like another bad decision by this crazy Chancellor. This is simply outrageous. Keep the articles coming, maybe the boys in Dover will blink when they realize their jobs are in trouble. Keep up the pressure! BOB

IMPEACH BOUCHARD! VOTE REPUBLICAN!

Judson, you are really shaking things up and the people are talking. Subjective rulings without logic or standing on decided matters is bad business and is basically creating new law-“legislating from the bench.” Why haven’t the Philip Shawe people filed for FOYA Requests to get the records? It will be interesting to see if Bouchard continues to feather his cronies’ nests? Keep up the good work. Charlie

Wow, more of the same. This business with TransPerfect and now another fiasco in the Chancery Court. I can’t believe what a blind eye these liberal jerks in our state house have. Unfortunately, if the people in Washington think there is a Swamp-check out Delaware—IT IS PURE QUICK SAND ! Thanks for your efforts JUD. Keep the bastards thinking. Great work! Best regards, Carol

Why would anybody want to incorporate in Delaware, when the Chancellor can sell your company out from under you? Seems like things are going from bad to worse. If Delaware loses its franchise taxes, the red hole will be so deep, “Hades” will be a cool place in comparison. Keep exposing this jerk Judson. We love your articles. ED

Dear Mr. Bennett,
As a small business owner incorporated in Delaware I am extremely concerned. It is beyond me why the legislature which is controlled by the Democrats is so business unfriendly. Eventually, the bottom is going to fall out if Chancellor Bouchard keeps creating these untenable situations. You don’t force the sale of a company because of stock holder or director disagreements.. Might have to reorganize in Nevada! I appreciate your great writing and your guts. Thank you! -Adrian
I thank you for your many responses. Please keep them
