Alvin S. Kanofsky v. Bethlehem Area School District

QUESTIONS Was Kanofsky denied Due Process, as required in Article V of the Bill of Rights? ANSWER: YES Article V (..nor be deprived of life,liberty, or property without due process of law, nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.) Also,in appearance in earlier court case on building, Judge Giordano proceeding in court with a companion case scheduled for the same time in , which he found Kanofsky guilty on his building maintenance. Kanofsky had a court conflict with a a parallel case in another court. When Judge Giordano went off the record in Kanofsky's appearance at trial on taxes in Common Pleas Court, he was denying Kanofsky his due process, by excising his arguments in open court. Again, Article V Was Kanofsky being discriminated against in the legal proceedings because of his religion? ANSWER: YES Kanofsky is Jewish. Repeated earlier claims of discrimination have been countered earlier by statements by the City that they did not know he is Jewish, even though he openly practices Judism, and had married into one of the prominent Jewish families in the valley, the Levines. This is not allowed as stated in Article I on the practice of religion In the Bill of Rights. Was Kanofsky the subject of illegal taxation, as disallowed in the Bill of Rights? ANSWER: YES Kanofsky was being taxed for property from which he drew no benefit because of the City's actions against him. As well, the U.S. Government did seize his paycheck from Lehigh University, as well as his savings accounts, etc. and thus he was not able to pay fines or pay for repairs.
