Questions presented
-
Whether orders of protection entered against the petitioners, impermissibly burden their fundamental rights as defined in the US Constitution, by restricting their free exercise of religion, their freedom of religious expression, their freedom of speech, their right to keep and bear arms, their right to due process, and their right to equal protection under the law.
-
Whether the Illinois Appellate Court errored in rejecting the petitioner’s argument for their consti tutional rights in their appeal because of their counsel’s plain error in failing to address their rights in court. Their appeal drew strong attention to ineffective assistance of counsel.
-
Whether the 750ILCS 60, the Illinois Domestic Violence Act as currently written, risks a fundamental deprivation of constitutional rights of freedom of speech, freedom of religion, the right to keep and bear arms, the right to due process, and the right to equal protection under the law, for respondents.
-
Whether the Illinois Appellate Court violated the petitioner’s rights by ignoring documented evidence of procedural irregularities and judicial mistakes pertaining to their case, and the Illinois Supreme Court in denying a review despite the provided evidence that supported their claims.
