Question presented

Jody Tremayne Wafer petitions for writ of habeas corpus from Chief Justice John Roberts of the Supreme Court of the United States inquiring into the reasona­ bleness, the validity of criminal laws that caused Peti­ tioner’s confinement. “The writ of habeas corpus ... is the liberation of those who may be imprisoned without sufficient cause.” Ex Parte Watkins, 28 U.S. 193, 202

  1. Chief Justice Marshall

  2. Is being incarcerated a substantial denial of Peti­ tioner’s constitutional right of liberty, without “suffi­ cient cause,” without compelling reasons for the United States Congress to proscribe marijuana as a dangerous substance, (a drug crime), therefore without due pro­ cess of law in violation of Amendments IV and V of the Constitution of the United States and unconstitu­ tional? r . < y
