(2) Whether a criminal Defendant as an individual that exercises his right to Establish himself as a religion under the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and in the free exercise thereof in his belief and practice is called by his Creator to investigate judicial corruption, can be required to go through pretrial and trial by the very judges that he is investigating and which these same judges have knowledge of these ongoing investigations consistent with the First, Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.

Larkin. 421 U.S. 35, 47. 95 S.Ct. 1456 . 43 L.Ed.2d 712 (1975) and Williams v.
