Questions presented
-
How can the DOJ bring multiple indictments for judges in several circuits, inclusive of counts for honest services fraud and bribery, but then represent the federal judges in Christine Sawicky v. Tao Sykes et al., claiming that bribery of a judge does not pierce the veil of judicial immunity?
-
What constitutional safeguards exist to secure a pro se litigant’s 14th Amendment due process rights and equal protection under the laws in the United States?
-
Does a pro se plaintiff/petitioner enjoy the same constitutional safeguards as those retained by represented parties?
