Question Presented (from Petition)

1. While this matter does require review, the
main question of "should a statute of limitations be
allowed" when addressing an individual's constitutional
rights especially when the plain text of article 6 and
the 14th Amendment state otherwise?

2. Shouldn't elements of 18 U.S.C. § 241 and 18
U.S.C. § 242 in a case allow for a longer statute of limitations as plaintiffs case has two defendants that require they work together for the denial of rights under
color of law?

3. When the purpose of a statute of limitations is
meant to preserve evidence, shouldn't continuous litigation be allowed as a defense as the evidence is being
used in other courts and other courses of litigation?

4. If everyone as a US citizen is guaranteed due
process then how can anyone be denied their constitutional rights as well as due process rights?

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether a statute of limitations should be applied to constitutional rights violations under Article 6 and the 14th Amendment
