Questions presented

  1. Shall the lower Courts, District Court followed by the Appellate Court, deliberately stand a Constitutional conflict in law, by judicially shielding the State Public Actor(s) by amending the Eleventh Amendment beyond the scope of its written Text by Order of the aforemen­ tioned lower Courts?

  2. Shall the lower Courts, District Court followed by the Appellate Court contradict this Court that ruled Nominal Damages are an actionable cause for the addressment of Constitutional and Legal Wrongs committed by a State’s Public Actors?

  3. Shall the lower Courts, the District Court followed by the Appellate Court, judicially move con­ trary to the Laws of Michigan, the Laws of the United States, the Rules of Court, inclusive of the Michigan State Constitution and the Constitution of the United States for the United States of America to thereby rule that Elizabeth Post, the lead Defendant in this instant case standing in her Official and Individual Capacity, breached the Constitution and Laws of Michigan, and the United States, to then be declared unaccountable by Federal Judicial Decree for Constitutional and Lawful wrongs, that targeted this Petitioner.

  4. Shall the lower Courts, the District Court followed by the Appellate Court, judicially protect Offic­ ers of the State’s Local Unit of Governance, alongside co-respondents, who all are State Public Officers under the realm of “Sovereign immunity” from accountability in law and equity for Breaching Michigan’s Public Trust, which is a common law wrong?
