Question presented

OUESTION PRESENTED FOR REVIEW I. Is the use of illegal emergency rulemakings in the absence of any objectively cognizable emergency resulting in the complete elimination of an industry, and thus, the complete and utter destruction of a companies ability to do business and comply a with preexisting contracts and obligations when the eliminated industry was statutorily required at the time of the illegal emergency rulemaking an illegal regulatory taking in violation of the 5 th and 14th amendments of the United States Constitution? II. Is the explicit exclusion by the state of the use of a foreign product either identical to or superior to a domestic product by a state regulated industry a violation of the Dormant Commerce Clause where the product in question is required by the state and members f the state related industry already have preexisting contracts with foreign providers of similar or identical products? III. Is the dismissal of a non-defective civil claim through plain misapplication of the rules of res judicata and mootness where there has been no answer of any kind to several claims within the complaint a violation of the Plaintiff’s rights under the Seventh amendment of the United States Constitution? -i-
