I was told that a publication by the Heritage Foundation would at least be intellectual. The misconceptions would be laughable, if not so tragic (and perilous for the nation).

Below, I try to debunk the myths they promulgated:

“Dr. Bandy X. Lee … last week defended Biden in light of the Hur report.”
A psychiatrist does not “defend” a president; she detects (or not) signs of unfitness, regardless of person.

Rep. Mary Miller: “There has been a glaring double standard … since the special counsel report revealed that Joe Biden is mentally unfit to serve in office.”
No one said he was mentally unfit to serve in office.

How Family Courts destroy families:
When my brother-in-law initiated his divorce, he was ready to engage in an equitable settlement, even considering selling the house. Then, Family Court deluded him into believing that he could win a “jackpot” in an all-or-nothing contest.

Family Courts identify and target psychological weakness: Psychopathic personalities believe that they are “ingenious” in their crafty ways and easily lured into criminality, without recognizing that they are ultimately setting themselves on a course to self-destruction.

Family Courts recognize that these dangerous personalities are capable neither of choosing a more productive course nor of taking responsibility for their deeds (and therefore incapable of changing). It is a perfect setup for manufacturing crises while draining families’ assets.

I am writing a book on the crisis of the Family Courts. In it, I will illustrate my own family’s case in New Jersey. My sister lost custody to an abusive husband who was on a restraining order for seriously injuring their children....

... The Court ruled that the mother should lose custody because an unlicensed “associate counselor” said her speech was “tangential”—contradicting 9 psychiatrists who said she had “excellent mental health.” She has not seen her children for one minute during the last 2 years.

I soon learned that Family Courts predetermine almost all custody decisions, so that children go to their tormenters, rapists, and murderers, and loving parents (usually mothers) lose custody.

The Dangerous World of Family Courts:

I have described this as an abuse industry. Yesterday, I had to do a heart-wrenching examination of a beautiful 5-year-old girl, raped by her father, who has been forced to go back to him for the last 5 years.

If the mother resists, the court will cut her ties with her mother entirely, and isolate her with her rapist. This sounds unbelievable, but this is already my third such case. Nobody will help, since too much profit is involved.

Already, one in five children are sexually abused. This number will keep going up if Family Courts continue to place, deliberately and near-universally, abused children with their abusers. If Family Courts did not exist, even children would be able to protect themselves better.

What is wrong with this picture: only SCOTUS is exempt from the canons of judicial ethics that apply to ALL other judges in the country, and only POTUS and Congress members are exempt from mental fitness standards that apply to ALL other jobs in the country!

This is the very definition of tyranny, not democracy.
This is why these important positions have become the coveted targets of ineligible and unfit individuals—tyrants—who know they can do whatever they wish, once they seize power, no matter the means.

A literal interpretation of the U.S. Constitution is often used as an “excuse” for not instituting basic fitness tests for POTUS, but did the founding fathers truly intend the presidency to be an exception, and would they, had they been given the current knowledge and tools?

We now see that, once we start normalizing pathological and criminal behavior—either from fear, out of convenience, or for profit—there will be no end. Soon, the criminally insane will be in charge of the asylum.

The origin of all this can be traced to one source: the undermining of democracy by placing “the Goldwater rule” and “the OLC memo” above all other Laws.

The first says a powerful public figure takes precedence over society, and the second says a criminal president is immune.

The “rule” was generated by the American Psychiatric Association under Republican pressure (ALL other ethical guidelines are based on science, clinical practice, or tradition, NOT politics). The “memo” was drafted by the White House Attorney of the Nixon administration.
