Questions presented

A lawyer, in motions filed in federal court proceedings (requesting reconsideration of an order or disqualification of a judge) stated that one or more federal judges asserted knowing falsehoods (lies) and committed federal offenses (crimes) (in 18 U.S.C. 241, 242, 371, 1001, 1512(b), 1519).

  1. Whether, under the foregoing circumstances, a court may disbar such lawyer for such speech and petitioning (exposing and opposing the lies and crimes of judges) before the court identified clear and convincing evidence of each fact material to establishing that such speech and petitioning stated or implied a factual falsehood asserted with actual malice.

  2. Whether a court may disbar such lawyer for such speech and petitioning before the court identified clear and convincing evidence of each fact material to establishing that such speech and petitioning violated a rule of conduct.

  3. Whether Kansas Supreme Court Rule 220 empowers Kansas Supreme Court justices to knowingly violate provisions of Kansas statutes and the Kansas and U.S. Constitutions governing findings of fact, evidence, testimony, testimonial privileges and proof.
