Questions presented
-
Violation of Constitutional Rights Did acts of a federal court in publishing sealed documents of investigation rather than returning them, violate rights of the Plaintiff (a) against the taking of private property, (b) to due process and equal protection, (c) against the seizure of papers and effects, and (d) to the copyright in sealed documents? Shall this Court order compensation under the takings clause?
-
Resolution of Conflicting Jurisdiction Denials Will the Court (a) clarify the conflicting and evasive jurisdiction decisions of the circuit courts, to ensure jurisdiction of federal claims in either the Court of Federal Claims or district courts, and (b) review the case de novo, to avoid remand to biased courts?
-
False “Sovereign Immunity” to Nullify Rights Does the lower court resurrection of the tyrant’s defense of “sovereign immunity” violate and seek to nullify the rights of citizens guaranteed by the Constitution and laws of the United States, including the Takings clause of the Fifth Amendment, the Tucker Act and Federal Tort Claims Act, the Civil Rights Act, and many prior decisions of this Supreme Court?
