DueProcess
Whether persistent and categorical judicial bias toward pro se litigants violates due process and equal protection guarantees; and whether absolute and qualified immunity should extend to officials engaging in extrajudicial misconduct
1. Whether persistent and categorical judicial bias and procedural disregard toward pro se litigants, resulting in dismissal despite detailed factual pleadings and sworn evidence, violates the guarantees of due process and equal protection under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. 2.
