Jon M. Strauss v. Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure
Is it a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment right to "due process" for an independent state agency, completely dependent on member financing, to restrict a license, by accepting the hearing officer recommendations, without the board "considering the record", specifically mandated by state law, of a hearing process presided over by the contracted hearing officer, paid by this board.
Is a state Supreme Court permitted to willfully ignore the specific state legislative intent of a law by allowing an administrative agency to restrict a license without "considering the record", any evidence of a hearing and further ignoring the above question?
