Judge Raymond Kethledge, a U.S. Sixth Circuit Court Judge and University of Michigan alumnus, deeply values solitude. He finds this peace at his remote barn cottage in northern Michigan, a practice that inspired him to spend seven years researching and writing a book on its profound benefits.

Kethledge's research revealed that solitude enhances moral courage, clarity, creativity, and emotional balance. It also provides a defense against entropy and cultivates inner-directed approval, reducing reliance on external praise. This talk was presented at a TEDx event.

The "Adventures of Donny Rico" series exposes Chevron's controversial tactics in the Amazon, highlighting alleged environmental destruction and its RICO action against Ecuadorian plaintiffs. Watch the full series here.

Chevron's case relies on Alberto Guerra, a disgraced former judge paid substantially for his claim that plaintiffs bribed a trial judge. Despite Guerra's admitted corruption, removal from the bench, and lack of evidence, his testimony was credited. This raises serious concerns about Chevron's efforts to undermine justice.

The "Adventures of Donny Rico" series exposes Chevron's threat to society. Episode #3, "Legal Tender," details the unethical tactics of Chevron's law firm, Gibson Dunn & Crutcher. Despite Chevron admitting to dumping toxic waste in the Amazon, Gibson Dunn pursued a RICO suit against Ecuadorian victims, portraying Chevron as the victim.

The firm, criticized for "legal thuggery" and "blatant intimidation," masterminded a strategy to re-litigate the Ecuador trial. They ignored evidence, launched racist attacks, conducted "sting" operations, and allegedly paid a disgraced judge for false testimony. This turned a clear environmental crime into an "abusively litigated nightmare," demonstrating an unprecedented attack on justice.

Donny Rico's Episode 4, "T'anks Judge," exposes Chevron's attempts to evade accountability for massive Amazon pollution. Facing a significant loss in Ecuador, Chevron desperately sought a more favorable venue, finding U.S. Federal Judge Lewis Kaplan.

Judge Kaplan initiated a RICO case, assigned it to his own courtroom, and ruled for Chevron. His decision is widely criticized as legally and factually flawed, lacking jurisdiction, and demonstrating clear animus toward Ecuadorian villagers. He refused a jury, ignored crucial scientific evidence, and defied a prior appeals court ruling.

Kaplan's controversial decision is currently under appeal and many expect it to be overturned. Watch the full Donny Rico series here: http://amwt.ch/3627. Learn more about this "Mockery of Justice": http://chevrontoxico.com/news-and-multimedia/2014/0325-chevrons-mockery-of-justice.

The U.S. Supreme Court has become a powerful, unelected policymaker, profoundly shaping American life through decisions on voting rights, healthcare, and more. A conservative majority ensures its continued influence.

Ian Millhiser, Vox's Supreme Court correspondent and author of *The Agenda*, will discuss the Court's future. He explores how it could reshape America, undermining democracy by impacting voting rights, the administrative state, church/state separation, and issues like abortion and affirmative action.

Join Millhiser and Melissa Murray for this crucial conversation, Wednesday, April 7, at 12:00 PM PDT. Details: commonwealthclub.org/covid19support. Follow Ian Millhiser on Twitter @imillhiser.
