Question presented
This is a profoundly important case questioning whether constitutional rights are no longer enforceable against state court judges, and whether state court judges can repeatedly and grossly violate constitutionally guaranteed rights with impunity. In this matter, not only did the Respondent repeatedly and grossly violate rights but he also perpetrated federal crimes for which the Petitioner has brought separate suit in related case before this court: Gentry v. Tennessee Board of Judicial Conduct; et al. The facts of this case are not disputed and clearly evidence rights violations and federal crimes perpetrated against Petitioner by Respondent. Dismissal of this case was not a matter of error by the lower courts. Dismissal of this case was intentional circumvention of the intent of congress and constitutional provisions by the lower courts requiring the supervisory power of this Court necessary to affirm and re-institute constitutionally protected rights. The question presented is: 1. Whether constitutionally guaranteed rights are usurped when they are not enforceable in either state courts or federal courts, under false cloak of sovereign and judicial immunity even when a plaintiff seeks only equitable relief.
