Questions presented
-
Will the Supreme Court of the United States stop the Ninth Circuit from Assuming Subject-Matter Jurisdiction?
-
Did the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals “lend its power to assist or protect a fraud” (Kitchen v. Rayburn, 86 U.S. 254, 263 (1873)), by failing to address proof, showing the Government gained an unfair advantage through deceit?
