Given the above-mentioned 19th century U.S. Supreme Court's ruling and opinion in the Dred Scott case, the question presented to Chief Justice John Roberts and the associate justices of the U.S. Supreme Court is: "Whether a state [California] can deprive a descendant of enslaved people in the U.S. [who is also a Black Man born in California; and a decorated U.S. Army Veteran during the Vietnam-Era; and a senior citizen; and a father of both adult sons and adult daughters, and a grandfather of five; and a retired teacher in 22 California public high schools since 1977; and a California licensed lifetime college instructor of marketing and distribution since 1981; and a California certified nonprofit corporation president, overseer and senior pastor,] the right to a jury trial under the Seventh ('7th) Amendment to the U.S. Constitution?"

In other words, "Are Black Americans guaranteed identical rights under the Constitution of the United States of America as White Americans?"

Whether a state can deprive a descendant of enslaved people the right to a jury trial
