Whether Michigan's Article | § 17 affords Michigan citizens the protections of fair-and-just-treatment during legislative-investigations-and-hearings

QUESTIONS PRESENTED Article | § 17 of Michigan’s Constitution states in part, The right of all individuals, firms, and corporations, and voluntary associations to fair and just treatment in the course of : legislative and executive investigations and hearings shall not be infringed. Courts have relied upon Whitener v. McWatters and_Bogan v. Scott-Harris to assert broad immunity for legislative activities, however, immunity for violations of fair and just treatment during Michigan legislative investigations and hearings would render the protections of Article | § 17 meaningless. Disenfranchisement of these protections has impacted 10 million citizens. The question whether Article | § 17 affords Michigan citizens the protections of fair and just treatment during legislative investigations and hearings, has not yet been : addressed by the Courts. The questions presented are: . 1. Whether Michigan’s Article | § 17 applies to legislative investigations and hearings as written, affording Michigan citizens the protections of fair and just treatment. If so, what are the standards of fair and just treatment during legislative investigations and , hearings? 2. Whether a heightened pleading bar set by the Sixth Circuit's affirmation of the District Court’s judgement granting motions to dismiss based on Rule 12(b6)(6) and denial of motion to file a second amended complaint, is proper for Constitutional claims of violations of due process protections and fair and just treatment.
