Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether the district court and appeals court judges violated their oaths to support and defend the Constitution by denying the petitioner's constitutional rights

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

No question identified. : The Constitutional Oath By readings that I have made of late, isn’t it true that “all federal officials must take an oath in support of the Constitution”? That’s in support of the Constitution? THAT'S SUPPORT IT...NOT NEGLECT IT...NOT RESCIND IT...NOT ABOLISH IT...NOT TRAMPLE ON IT!? “The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support the Constitution: .” “I, , do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic,; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion: and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter, So help me God.” Are these two “Oaths” representative of, or identical to, subscriptions which the District Court Judges and the Appeals Court Judges of both Norfolk and Richmond, respectively, would have taken and would have had to have taken?? And shouldn't I have seen evidence of these Oaths or Subscriptions in existence and taking place in my “visits” to these two Courts?? Shouldn’tIP Shouldn’tI?? But. THEY WERE NOT THERE,, especially in NORFOLK; AND THAT IS WHY I AM HERE, the Supreme Court, looking for a one chance in a hundred shot at an elusive JUSTICE, withheld and illegitimately Denied by Judges of two Virginia Courts! 2 ITS JUSTICE! expounued on Thaw & Oraer” or. how about THRE BENCHMARK OF A COURT SYSTEM [8S THE QUALITY OF TTS JUSTICE! or, how about THE BENCHMARK AND MEASURE OF \ JUDGE IS IN THE QUALITY OF HIS OR HER JUSTICE! or. how about THE BENCHMARK AND MEASURE OF \ JbODGkE TS IN THE MERE EXISTENCE, OR NOT.

In pragmatism and in reality, I do not think that remark, “and therein can lie a problem”, requires any explanation! World, American, and Local history are full of examples of lies and frauds and Misdeeds, and Crime, and Murders, and Wars born of the vanities, compulsions, and idiosyncrasies of various power hungry and schizophrenic, narcissistic, individual Men; and Men, that is, in power, in particular, certain kinds of Men, finding themselves in power, by being given power, or taking over power, of other individual’s lives and affairs, as seen in Germany, 1929 through May, 1945, resulting in cruel and wanton barbarity and the deaths of over twelve million “other” human beings, six million of which were Jews! As the deeds of “those” kinds of Men and that “one” kind of man, in particular, in Germany from 1929 to 1945, are an extreme 5 sadly, to some extent and in one degree or another...“that kind of a Man” and “those kinds of Men” exist everywhere and in all phases of life, in all manner of uniforms and in the clothing of life, including Judicial Robes. In America we are taught to believe that we have a safeguard in place to guard against those “kinds of Men”: a long standing and deeply rooted legal system which wil
