1) Does the text of the First Amendment,
"Congress shall make no law", limit its
application to the Legislature and, thus, allow
the Judiciary to craft laws favoring certain
religious parties, while punishing those who
refuse to submit to the religious doctrines they
did not freely accept?
2) Did the Ohio courts err when they elected to
modify law established by multiple Supreme
Court practices, and precedents, violating the
well established principle that only the
Supreme Court may modify its own rulings?
3) Does the First Amendment require courts
dismiss a "non-Catholic's" secular tort and
contract law claims — because they include
statements which were presented, by the
crafters, as true representations of Catholic
Doctrine — when courts routinely rely on selfauthenticating evidence of this type, if offered
by a "Catholic" party?
4) Does the Constitution's provision, allowing for
injured parties to petition the government for
redress, include an implicit expectation that
requires the courts to fairly adjudicate the
claims and faithfully apply State procedural
and substantive law, ensuring "Equal —
Justice - Under — Law"?
Whether the First Amendment's prohibition on congressional lawmaking limits judicial interpretation of religious doctrine and tort claims, and whether courts must fairly adjudicate claims with equal justice
