Question presented

Question 1: Do courts of appeal nationwide exhibit a pattern and practice of refusing to adjudicate EVERY issue presented by the Class of disrespected, unrepresented litigants filing appeals arising from the underlying institutionalized IRS record falsification program, and from the open support thereof by involved U.S. district judges? Question 2: When U.S. district judges are credibly accused of committing explicit acts of misconduct via sworn §§455 and 144 motions filed by litigants, should the judges recuse from further participation in cases involving those victims/litigants?1 1 The extra-judicial misconduct of The Honorables Christopher Reid Cooper and Amy Berman Jackson on September 27, 2016 is detailed below, Question 2., Pg. 12.
