Question Presented (from Petition)

Can Secret Trials Ever Be Constitutional?

May Federal Agencies Adjudicate Violent Behavior Cases in Secret "Star Chamber" Tribunals, and Then Bar the Victims From All Information Regarding Their "Convictions"?

Is the Veterans Administration Permitted to Have a "Black" Program?

Current Precedent Strictly Limits "Scarlet Letter" Punishments to Criminal Conviction Cases — Can They Now Be Extended to Secret Administrative Tribunals?

When the U.S. Government Issues an Anonymous Threatening Letter to a VA Patient Warning Them Against a Repetition of Their Actions, But Then It Refuses to State What Those Actions Consist Of, Is That Not Orwellian and Without Any Rational Basis?

Is It Ever Permissible for the U.S. Government to Issue an Anonymous Threatening Letter to Any American Citizen?

Is the VA Misusing 38 C.F.R. §17.107 to Silence Victim-Critics Who Are Protesting Shoddy Medical Care and Abuse by VA Physicians? [Appendix G Reveals - Yes]

In 2013, the VA OIG, in Report 11-02585-129, Criticized This VA Program for Having No Definition for "Disruptive Behavior." The OIG Report Has Been Ignored by the VA for Nine Years. As a Result, Are All VA Decisions in This Program Arbitrary & Capricious per se?

Does This Secret VA Program Violate Elonis v. U.S., 575 U.S. 723 (2015) in Which This Court Raised the Federal Bar as to What is a "true threat"?

Did the S.D. Iowa and the 8th Circuit Err in Refusing to Issue the Requested Nation-Wide Emergency Injunction Against 38 C.F.R. §17.107?
