Violation of Constitutional Rights

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

Questions Presented for Review | 1.

Shall this Court order compensation under the takings clause? 2. Resolution of Conflicting Jurisdiction Denials Will the Court (a) clarify the conflicting and evasive jurisdiction decisions of the circuit courts, to ensure jurisdiction of federal claims in either the Court of Federal Claims or district courts, and (b) review the case de novo, to avoid remand to biased courts? 3.
