Trump Cronies take over Social Security's administrative law judges, as standards disappear.
We all have Social Security cards. But Trump just crossed that pesky “Security” part off, with a Trump executive order…I thought Republicans hated executive orders?
Trump is installing deep state right-wing cronies to judge you when you can least afford it:
Washington Post: Do you have a Social Security card? If you do, you should be concerned about how a recent executive order signed by President Trump could affect you. On July 10, the White House released an executive order ending a merit-based system for selecting federal administrative law judges, including those who hear Social Security cases. This is a big switch. (Democrats said) “The executive order will allow the Administration to appoint judges based on politics and nepotism rather than competence.” In other words, this is an under-the-radar White House court-packing plan.
You would face an ALJ if you had a problem with the dollar amount in your Social Security retirement account; if there were a question about who is eligible to receive a deceased person’s benefits; or if, because of a workplace accident, injury or illness, you found yourself unable to work and you applied for disability benefits.
In every instance, you would want to know that the judge hearing your case was both competent and impartial … you also want a judge who isn’t being pressured to deny your case for political reasons or wasn’t placed in the job because of whom they know rather than what they know. Last year alone, judges who adjudicate Social Security cases conducted 605,483 hearings, according to agency statistics.
Standards Trashed by Trump: Thanks to a recent right-wing Supreme Court decision, Trump toadies decided they could use it as an excuse to destroy the SS’s impartiality:
Until this month, federal agencies hired ALJ candidates with at least seven years of litigation experience; they are also required to take a six-part examination conducted by the Office of Personnel Management. Now, as a result of the president’s executive order, an agency that wants to employ an ALJ can recruit any attorney regardless of skill or experience. Competence and impartiality apparently are no longer essential; cronyism and political interference will no longer be taboo.
The Supreme Court overturned a decision by an administrative law judge at the SEC on a technicality, arguing that the judge had not been properly appointed.

wake up world-adj=star chambers-as they were it was extremely political and set up against the defendant-with only court appointed allowed lawyers and a very interesting history of lost medical records and questionable medical opinions-from their professionals-they see the world in a contrived way-one interesting personal note-during my trial the medical specialist was teleconference in from california-retired great credentials yet only the judge could see him-he never saw me physically and referred only to those selected records provided by the court-i have compassion and listened and later when i got home after a 80 mile ride-i did a internet search on dr specialist and his name and credentials-surprise it turns out he was charge in the 1990s with insurance fraud and other pro complications FELONY —so the old systems was definitely corrupt-its an illusion-you get to see the truth when you get thru the process-as i mentioned above they are very good at losing your medical records if they are older and from previous filings-and their system is set up for you too fail-initial wait period after filing is 2-5 years-you get a couple of questionaires nondescript and they send you to their doctors-pretty low competency in my opinion-and i have seen alot of them-but what i found interesting was that during these evaluations and proceedures-i personally had to stop the radiation exposure-due to its effects on my health-i got on line and added up xray-cat scans-ect-and came to understand its accumulative-and that number which is considered threshold had been passed and the health efxs began-to hurt-its like they want to destroy-kill-disuade the applicant-and during the process of filing and court which this last time when i finally got to court after my first filing 37 yrs ago i kept asking for help to get a job from home online-and they would respond thats not our job-plus they somehow do not have access to other federal documents-like bankrupcy-filings-or credit-even military records-truth died a long time ago in this country-and at times for the next younger generation any changes are better that this current setup-if you go and do a search on specific regions and courts you will be amazed at the backlog of waiting cases-but highly recommended that after your court hearing you get-request all of their documents=transcripts and audio recordings of proceedings=you will learn alot-perspectives of their professionals-one of the records was from the second filing in 1986 and i had been referred to consistently by some supervisor as a female applicant-in others the medical opinions were by the accepted medical opinions-look around you the whole medical system and this legal aspect is a sham and murderous-ps also request any and all medical records from each dr-specialist=proceedure-copies of for your own documentation-this is important if you want to keep on living-one thing is interesting that has evolved over the years is your medical records-and the institution or doctors or therapist legal responsibility of holding on to those documents-it appears to get shorter in time now between 5-7 yrs and they are not held legally responsible for their misplacement or destruction-the larger the institution the more likely you will be screwed more but hope this helps some folks-you if your disabled and pre court may have hope but leave it at the door-its a stacked deck against the applicant-i got the written documents on cd and it took 2 months to review and analyze and when i asked for the audio-of the actual court proceedings i got a mean letter and denial for appeal-and the ssa documentation was 1 part –and the actual court appearances was 2x-first time inquiry and question answering the 2 time about 6-8 months later the courts strategy was so aggressive and under handed and my lawyer (allowed and paid by the court) said nothing and i was not allowed to speak-so when i requested my audio transcript i had hope to get the truth-but their truth is a runaway train and your tied to the track thru disability-STAR CHAMBERS
