John Anthony Gentry v. Glen Casada, et al.

This Court has not in its entire history been presented a more important case, seeking to restore the cornerstone right of petition oppressed in attempted exercise against a wrongful government. The facts of this case are not disputed and clearly evidence a government that is no longer republican in character or form - a government that has unlawfully altered its state constitution, a government statutorily assigning judges to prohibited second offices of trust, with those unlawful offices used to protect rampant corruption in the state judiciary - a government that openly oppresses the First Amendment and Tennessee Constitution right to petition for redress of grievance by address or remonstrance - a government that denies due process through rules repugnant to state and federal constitutions. The questions presented are-

1. Whether the state government has a duty to present a correct version of the Tennessee Constitution to the public, and not deceive its citizenry through constructive fraud of an unlawfully altered state constitution.

2. Whether legislative houses have a duty to hear and decide a properly filed remonstrance, protesting unlawful conduct of government.

3. Whether Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 10B, House Rule of Order 15, and Senate Rule of Order 22 are repugnant to the state constitution, and violate or oppress rights protected under both state and federal constitutions.
