Question Presented (from Petition)

1. Does a systemic structural defect in due process
in California courts eliminate court access, the
First and Fourteenth Amendments, and full
participation in court programs, activities and
services for the disabled litigant?

2. Do California judges systemically subvert the
Supremacy Clause in their dealings with disabled
pro se litigants in California courts, and enforce
an unconstitutional rule of court that replaces the
ADA and promotes discrimination?

3. Do California judges systemically violate human
rights treaties and customary international law,
despite prohibition under Article VI supreme Law
of the Land? Must judges investigate and stop
these violations upon receiving notice of treaty
prohibited acts?

4. Does the jurisdiction of a state court terminate
when it refuses to conform to the supreme Law of
the Land? What if the entire state court hierarchy
refuses to conform with the supreme Law of the
Land?

5. What is the uniform national standard on ending
discrimination based on disability as applicable to
the accommodation of the disabled pro se litigant
in the course of the administration of justice in
California courts?

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Does a systemic structural defect in California courts eliminate court access and due process for disabled litigants under the First and Fourteenth Amendments?
