Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether a state's sovereign immunity defense in a civil rights complaint constitutes a valid Fifth Amendment invocation and Fourteenth Amendment protection, and if the Sixth Amendment should be expanded to provide counsel in civil rights cases

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

If a state asserts sovereign! immunity against a civil rights complaint, should the court accept the submission as the state, “Pleading the Fifth, ” and invoking the state's right against self incrimination under the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution as well as violating the Fourteenth Amendment? Should the public be in fear of protecting their civil rights if they can not afford an attorney to represent them in civil employment tort cases or civil rights cases? If so, should the Sixth Amendment be amended to provide assistance of counsel for civil rights cases, to prevent a silent public affairs crisis of civil rights violations. Can a complaint of employment discrimination in a county court be heard as a matter of law within it’s own state without bias?
