Question presented

  1. Was Shirley Hirshauer's, and her sons, Constitutional Right to Due Process violated? Is a judge immune from being sued when he acts in the absence of all jurisdiction? Is the Maryland Fraudulent Conveyance Rule 15-209 Unconstitutional? Was it unlawful for Judge Sweeney to dismiss Hirshauer's counterclaim when she had merit and the defendant's to the counterclaim offered to defense? Does the Plain Error Rule, Harmful Error Rule and Reversible Error Rule pertain to this case?. Were Judge Ross and Judge Sweeney biased triers? (i)
