Questions presented

Federal marijuana laws are constitutional because marijuana is not a fundamental right. Judicial review of these criminal laws has been rational basis, a political question. Petitioner is a political prisoner. Marijuana laws are a political question because of ineffective assistance of officers of the court.

  1. Whether “liberty” in the due process clause still means freedom from physical restraint by government police power?

  2. Whether the operation and effects of the marijuana laws are an Article III case and controversy?

  3. Whether being incarcerated is a substantial denial of Jody Tremayne Wafer’s constitutional right of liberty without compelling reasons for Congress to proscribe marijuana as a dangerous substance, therefore without due process of law in violation of Amendments IV and V of the Constitution of the United States and is unconstitutional?
