Question Presented (from Petition)

1. Whether the Court may deny Petitioner's First Amendment right to petition the Government for a redress of grievances? In particular when the Government had recognized the petition as credible and accepted for redress. Whether the Court may terminate Petitioner's right to communicate with Government and hinder investigation?

2. Whether the Court may make thorough omission of all dirty hands evidence by Respondents and not apply the Clean Hands Doctrine to foreclose Respondents seeking relief? Whether the Court may consider eight real-time and well-timed false 911 calls and false police reports prior to trial for retaliation not dirty enough to invoke equitable defense for Petitioner? In particular, police was not a witness at trial after Respondents' extensive involvement of police, and Respondents provided no defense to Petitioner's allegations that all 911 calls and police reports were false.

3. Whether the Court may deny Petitioner's due process guaranteed in the Fifth and the Fourteenth Amendments to silence Petitioner by refusing to accept even one page of evidence at trial, by disposing two cases without recess in 45 minutes, by depriving Petitioner's right to defend against Respondents' claim, and by eliminating the statutory compliant lawful oral record?
