Questions presented

  1. Whether, by disregarding properly established U.S. authorities (Corpus Juris Secundum, C.J.S.), to surreptitiously create its own copyright law system (based on Melville and David Nimmer’s uNimmer on Copyright”, which runs counter to the C.J.S.), the 9th Circuit has betrayed the Founders’ intents.

  2. Whether U.S. judges and justices’ ownership of shell corporations subverts faith in the U.S. judicial system, and/or betrays the Founders’ intents.

  3. Whether a ruling that ignores superseding law, to base itself in subordinate law, can be valid.

  4. Whether U.S. federal courts using Ashcroft v Iqbal to avoid accountability and hide their improper copyright infringement rulings, has undermined America’s national character and global standing.
