Questions presented

  1. Whether the U.S. Constitution delegated power to federal courts to disbar an attorney because he stated in written federal court filings that federal judges knowingly misrepresented evidence reviewed in camera and committed federal offenses when no fact ever was stated or proved to show how any such attorney statement was false or misleading or otherwise adversely affected any proceeding or exceeded the scope of speech and petitioning secured by the First and Fifth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution and copious U.S. Supreme Court precedent thereunder.

  2. When an attorney challenges reciprocal disbarment, whether the U.S. Constitution delegated power to federal courts to disbar the attorney for purported misconduct without such federal court expressly identifying the particular governing standard(s) of conduct, identifying the attorney conduct that purportedly violated any such standard, identifying the facts material to proving how any such attorney conduct violated any such standard, and identifying the evidence that was admissible and admitted to prove all material facts.
