Question Presented (AI Summary)

When the lower Courts overlooked the Framers' written intent of the 11th Amendment, by applying this oversight to Rules of law that discredit Bill of Rights 1, 4, 5, 7, 9 and 10, as well as reject the case histories of Apodaca v. Oregon, Ramos v. Louisiana, Hernandez v. Texas, and Taylor v. Illinois, under what Congressional authorization are the lower Courts consenting to a fourth variable, that a citizen suing his own State is barred by State sovereign immunity, when merits of Federal Rules of Law violations are alleged?

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTION PRESENTED This petition presents the following question: When the lower Courts overlooked the Framers’ written intent of the 11th Amendment (which plainly reads that States cannot be sued by “ (1) Citizens of another State, or by (2) Citizens or (3) Subjects of any Foreign State”, by applying this oversight to Rules of law that discredit Bill of Rights 1, 4, 5, 7, 9 and 10, as well as reject the case histories of Apodaca v. Oregon, 406 U.S. 404 (1972), Ramos v. Louisiana, 590 U.S. (2020), Hernandez v. Texas, 347 U.S. 475 (1954), and Taylor v. Illinois, 484 U.S. 400; under what Congressional authorization are the lower Courts consenting to a fourth (4th) variable, that a citizen suing his own State is barred by : State sovereign immunity, when merits of Federal Rules of Law violations are alleged; which thereby removes the purpose of the Founding Fathers’ and their Oath to Justice’ intent, as GOD Himself (Deuteronomy 1: 16-17 KJV) nor the 11 Amendment authorized non-Congressional members to add a fourth (4) variable?
