Question presented

This Petition presents the following question: Is it a civil right for citizens to complain against their own state; whereas Amendment 11 does not justify the traditions of the Courts when these traditions routinely go against and violates the written rules of justice; and furthermore, have not the Courts “made the commandment of GOD (the US Constitution) of none effect by your tradition(s)” (Matthew 15:6b KJV)?
