Martin Akerman v. Merit Systems Protection Board, et al.
Does the whistleblower protection provision of the
Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act
(USERRA), codified at 38 U.S.C. § 4311(b), require the waiver of
court fees for federal employees engaged in protected
whistleblowing activities, ensuring access to judicial review
without financial barriers?
Does the denial of access to information under the Freedom
of Information Act (FOIA) constitute a violation of a
whistleblower's right to transparency, accountability, and due
process, particularly when the information requested is
essential to the petitioner's defense and the public interest?
Should the Second Amendment be interpreted to encompass
access to information and the tools necessary to defend against
disinformation and abuses of power, particularly when these
actions are used to suppress whistleblower rights and obscure
illegal detentions under the pretext of national security?
Whether the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) and the Posse Comitatus Act protect federal employees from unlawful detention and information suppression under the pretext of national security
