Question Presented (AI Summary)

Should judges or other government personnel be protected by civil immunity for willful crimes?

Question Presented (from Petition)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Should judges or other government personnel in the United States be protected by any form of civil immunity at all for willful crimes they commit while acting in their official duties? 2. Should parties who are pathological liars—or liars of any kind—be allowed to write court orders or rulings in adversarial matters, but if they do, should such lie-riddled documents be valid (not automatically be void)? . The answer to both questions, of course, is a resounding “no,” and this court must stand firm with Petitioner and the American people in declaring that answer to the respondents and to other such actors nationwide who are equally nefarious. To the best of Petitioner’s knowledge, this court has never answered these questions. Shielding anyone from liability because of his or her intentional criminal misconduct and allowing falsified records to remain valid in legal matters are just plain wrong. 1 “The greatest lies are told in the name of truth. The greatest crimes are committed in the name of justice.” — Jim Garrison
