Senate President David Williams Declares Kentucky Bill of Rights Dead

Kentucky Constitution Section 1 part 6 secures the right of every Kentuckian:
The right of assembling together in a peaceable manner for their common good, and of applying to those invested with the power of government for redress of grievances or other proper purposes, by petition, address or remonstrance.

A Petition for Removal by Address that was filed with the Ky Senate Clerk on August 30th 2010, read into the record January 4th 2011, and assigned to the Senate Judiciary Committee, is being wrongfully delayed and denied by the committee Chairman, who is being misadvised by LRC staff and Senate President David Williams that the Senate has no "authority" to act upon the petition.
 
Two requests have been made by motion, each filed with the Senate Clerk, to be heard by the Committee in a preliminary inquiry proceeding. Both requests to be heard have been arbitrarily denied by the Senate Judiciary Chairman who has failed to hold inquiry hearings upon the petition.
 
Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Sen. Tom Jenson, met with the petitioner about 2 pm in the hall outside of Senate Chambers and said " I don't have any authority to give due process to the petition" and he defered to Senator David Williams as having said "their is no authority" for the Ky Senate to provide any process to the petitioner upon the petition filed for the propor purposes of removing the judge for acts of Official Misconduct. 
 
David Williams has therefore essentially said " The Kentucky Bill of Rights is Dead," that state government officials, such as family court judges, can commit acts of Official Misconduct, and if the "secretive administrative judges judging judges judicial conduct commission complaint" process fails, Ky Senate President David Williams will aid in covering up the acts of others, by denying your RIGHTS to petition for removal by address.
