I have a question: I totally agree that Qualified Immunity for govt.workers is unconstitutional, however, in this case, If this city council claims immunity, where's hers? They violated hers then. As elected, sworn in exactly as Mayor, if he has immunity, so does she... I see this as an additional point to the rest of the lawsuit. (??) No? Yes?
@Micha EL The case has to go up through the circuit. You think everything should go right to DOJ, Federal? Who's not well here? BTW You started the insults here. Shows your intellect. lol.
No, people like those council members are traitors and should be executed, not sent to a cushy jail cell. Put the fear of death back into these criminals, or the bullshit will only continue and continue to escalate. Mark my words.
It's not the officials that put her in jail, it's a flawed system that allows this to happen. Correct the problem for all citizens. Obviously there are no checks. The town's system is the root cause of the problem. The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” - Edmund Burke.
Why were they all working together against her? The police chief, the mayor and the entire city council! What are they ALL hiding? Sure makes her original complaints about them all was probaby spot on.
They hiding kickbacks, bribes, protection money, drugs selling, get out of jail cards and power to retaliate, city contract money, speedy business and liquor license approvals, avoidance of fire and building inspector citations on property, favorable treatment during at fault accidents, etc.
In the case I was embroiled in they all ended up being connected to one secret society... The British imperialist Orangemen, and the proceeds of crime were funneled into founding a charity that hosted a royal visit by Prince Andrew. I'm so heavily censored, it can't get out to the public.
@@tiktokshorts7356 in my case the whole criminal justice system, including the coroner's and fire departments, are seeded with the same founding family bloodline, the wide web that connects to the MORGAN bloodline.
A man in my area fought back in a different way. He bought a piece of property to put a landscape and flowers store. He went to zoning and got thru the red tape but before he started to build other similar businesses complained so they stopped him on a technically. Instead of fighting thru the court and because it originally farm land he went and bought 200 pigs put up the ugliest shack and pig pen that you would ever imagine. After 6 months of people complaining to the town they let him put his business there. And the best part it is really a nice place.
@Conservative Thinking Americans exactly, activists have perverted our court system to the point that they won’t even uphold our constitution any longer. Each inch of our protected rights we’ve given up have been rewritten to protect the government system from the people. When there’s no system left to protect the citizens from the overreach of the government, we’ve officially lost the freedoms our ancestors fought for.
@@piezoman79 well unfortunately when it reaches that point and people can't stand it any longer it will inevitably lead to a nation wide revolt against are government. In order to avoid this eveuality Congress and the Supreme Court has to act to right the ship and remove or weaken Qualified Immunity and force Police and other powerful governmental figures to have to take personal responsibility for thier own actions and be punished when they break the law and violate people's right.

Those property taxes in Castle Hill is like buying a new car every 4 years!!! What are the Castle Hill city officials providing in return to the Castle Hill residents?
You guys in Texas need an initiative petition to roll back and freeze property taxes like in California with Proposition 13 or in Massachusetts with Proposition 2-1/2. Just make sure local government can't make an end run-around using the police issuing citations forcing people to pay fines through the nose or get thrown into debtor's prison
I was in city government for 10 years. So much stealing and corruption and the whole council and mayor told the citizens I was crazy. Finally I said I was not running again because they were going to go to jail and I wasn't going with them. Finally the mayor got caught stealing from his regular job and the city clerk turned on him and gave him up for stealing $10,000 in stealing from the city. By giving him up in the investigation she eliminated an audit. The state auditor did not even answer my calls for an audit to stop the stealing. The clerk was in on the stealing and saved herself by proving that small amount. That was a very small amount of what they stole and it wasn't just the mayor. But he did go to jail. I have no faith in government after my experiences at a city level. The power the federal government holds is a million times worse. They are using our tax dollars as an endless flow of cash. They do whatever they want with NO accountability and when you challenge them they have the corrupt press dismiss you in awful ways. But surpress their wrong doings. The press is as corrupted as the government.
Yes, bc most council members r corrupt bc they can get away with it, just like this, how can this happen? I really hope this is a lawsuit that needs go into action ! I hope we can do more of firing these criminals ASAP, WE CAN AS A GROUP FOR THE PEOPLE BY THE PEOPLE, FIRE THEM ALL!
@@saneuser That's actually pretty remarkable that the mayor went to jail, or that even the small amounts of tax theft were uncovered. That's what good people can accomplish. Though it left a bad taste in your mouth, you remind us good people get in too. Thank you for your service. As for the corrupt press, they are pretty much an arm of the govt. There's been talk of CIA ties for some time, which has been proven. Most of the presstitutes are run and do the bidding of the huge, always getitng bigger corps, who have far too much money and power. Though they are getting far more by leaps and bounds w/ these citizen ruining lockdowns. It's a big mess of crony capitalism, but it amounts to a technocracy in the end.
@Harry Flashman jurry nullification is allowed everywhere in the USA. The US Supreme Court has ruled on that. What is not allowed is for you to say the word Jury nullification in a court room, if you do as an attorney you will be disbarred. If you are on the jury and say the word you get kicked off the jury. There is a case that was in the news not to long ago where a guy was standing outside of a court building and was arrested for jury tampering because he was handing out flyers that explained jury nullification. My point wasn't that it doesn't exist, I was saying that you should be able to plea for it. In other words ask the jury to set the law aside. That is not currently allowed anyplace that I have seen, that portion of the TN allows jury nullification but it doesn't guarantee that the defense can present it as an option for the jury.
Private Citizen. As a FORMER Government worker for my whole working life I was a Road Farmer. You my Friend are110%CORRECT if you don't go along with good old boys club, you are FIRED...... all my coworkers are ones that try and get you wrote up all the time. Or thay have there tail between there legs. I had fellow coworkers who where so scared for there JOBS. I lost Friends after I left because me and my wife started and became successful at a PRIVATE business. When I worked I have never worked for a job where you had coworkers checking into your private life contacting people I worked for in the past. Just to dig up anything thay could belittle you about. Working in Government. Was like being in school were you have the In crowd. Thank you for being right.
I agree with you but... This is kind of stupid and idiotic thinking that got 80% of government employees being Democrats. 80% teachers, 80%+ media workers etc.. being democrats. This is a dereliction.
This case is grossly egregious. The only acceptable outcome is the bankrupsy of this city. Hopefully they will never get insurance again. Please do not accept any settlement.
The fact that this channel isn't huge is kind of disturbing. But I suppose it will one day. Audit the Audit and Project Veritas weren't very large until just this year... But do your part, share these video and let people know there are people out there standing up for the Constitution
I hear/read "should FACE the wall" several times. As a ESLspeaker I can't really understand what picture you paint with it. They should be put with their BACK against the wall and FACE a fireing squad. Alternative sentence them to climb the gallows & short drop sudden stop them! AND make it a public event! Just my opinion!
I hope she has a lot of people put together a book to sell about all the secrets of the City Officials. Just like " The Help" make them eat $h!t pie when all their secrets are out in the open!
Funny I was thinking Justin would love to hear about this case. I believe they said it was in Bexar County so he is pretty familiar with that area too. Betcha Kelly and sloppy Joe know the city manager and chief pretty well too. I am so impressed with the way Justin was able to help turn the council around in LV.
Justin certainly did help, but there’s no way it would’ve happened without our passionate concerned citizens who stood strongly in the face of this blatant corruption.
I thought they were already sueing in court and they have indicated they will immediately appeal if the qualified immunity goes through! Maybe I watched a different video!!!!
Anytime things like this happen, a single complaint to a state DOJ should trigger an investigation that would land everyone involved in jail. Small town governments should never feel like they can get away with stuff like this. Government is supposed to exist to protect our rights. When they don't, they dont deserve to exist.
Unfortunately "qualified immunity" is not even a law and cannot be repealed. It was just an opinion by the Supreme Court that has been given the undeserved status of a law.

It starts with the people you actually need, like the building inspector. Any one with the power to make your life miserable. If you are new in a small time you learn fast that everyone you work with is related in some way to everyone else. And even when they are not related they have been friends since birth.
I love the institute for justice and what you folks do, but there are times I think donations would be better served in helping people purchase bulldozers and steel plating. Some days it just seems like there is no justice available except the extreme.
Totally agree, I am sad to say. Ever since Marvin Heemeyer climbed into his Killdozer and did what he had been pushed to do by a corrupt local government, more people have realized that sometimes extreme overreaction is all anyone is able to do if they wish to taste justice in any measure.
Led here by link on facebook group "The Change Leon Valley" (also a city on outskirts of San Antonio) . The citizens of this town should take the Leon Valley route, recall elections & electing members/mayor who will take action against city manager & cops! You should do a story on that town where a corrupt city council & police force was overthrown by both election & legal moves!
She needs a lawyer or legal firm that enjoys fighting this type of battle and there are some of them out there and they are usually large and highly motivated.
This basically tells me don't fight these kind of people unless you're prepared to go outside the law. This story reminds me of a shirt I saw years ago. On the back of that shirt I saw a message. It said when Injustice becomes a law, then Rebellion becomes a duty.
Is it my misunderstanding or didn't she have immunity as a council member. Did the rest of the council violate her immunity? Does this nullify their own immunity?
Then those who participated in ousting her, should be arrested for abuse of power. We need to put those drunk with power on notice, the people are now aware of the corruption that runs through our political system and we are looking to clean out the filth so that we can sleep at night knowing that the people running things are working in our best interest. People go boldly forth, speak truth and demand truth. We are ultimately responsible . Thank you

Hey Anya, Thank you and IJ for your support of this lady. Anya means "Graceful", "Inexhaustible" and that characteristic came across in your presentation. On a side note, most people do not know "case law" is a misnomer. It is legally a matter of Federal Policy and not a matter of "law", case or otherwise. Judges issue "opinions",not law. Only legislatures make laws. Justice Kavanough is correct when he stated "Judges “must interpret the law, not make the law,” observed Judge Brett Kavanaugh in accepting Donald Trump’s designation to fill Justice Anthony Kennedy’s seat on the Supreme Court." Supreme court made it clear ""Stare decisis is a principle of POLICY, not a mechanical formula of adherence to the latest decision" " Helvering v. Hallock, 309 U.S. 106, 110 (1940) *emphasis mine! Payne, 501 U.S. at 828 says about stare decisis "IT IS NOT “an inexorable command.” I bring this up because I went Pro Se all the way to the Supreme Court relying on "res judicata and stare decisis". Not only that, but also on "clearly established law" found in published Federal Statutes. The Federal court found ways to get around "Case Law" as well as published federal law by simply ignoring both. The only effect was to embarrass them for their criminal and "controlling" political agenda which they mitigated by assigning "un-published,no precedent " to the case. Don't expect any relief at the District Court level. If lucky you may find relief at the appellate level or Supreme court due to new justices being seated. I only received "partial relief" when I appealed it "en banc", even then it was still a cover up for the District Court. These courts have become a major embarrassment to the American Justice system.
Look up the other case they cite - where the sheriff's in Fresno CA stole 225K and because of “qualified immunity” were never charged and kept the loot.
Recently I have seen a number of cases where people have been persecuted for speaking out about government corruption. Is ANY government official upholding the CONSTITUTION??????
Great Work! Your organizations goal is huge but worth the effort, it's likely that with more liberties being abused by governmental agencies - more political accountability has to be enforced
Yes, very typical of small cities, big cities and communist states ironically, were nepotism is rampant and very few stand up to stop it for fear of retaliation.
This was a 1st Amendment violation with drummed up charges to hide that fact! A lawsuit should ensue to get everyone involved fired out of government and a payment to the lady filing for time lost! The judge,if not on crack,should instantly see circumstances clearly! If you violate the 1st Amendment,your immunity is zero!

Qualified immunity doesn't protect anyone from criminal charges. It only protects the person from being sued in a civil court. It was created to (financially) protect people who were following orders within their given profession. In no way does it shield anyone from being prosecuted for criminal charges.
Immunity is based on past precedents. If there are no prior convictions in a similar scenario, then there is no precedent, and the person can claim qualified immunity.

The fact that the courts haven't reversed it, is proof that it continues to be a tyrannical branch.

They used the city’s money to fight, she had to use her own money. Comes down to who has deeper pockets.
It always does. American justice is a bad joke, always how much justice can one afford.
@@imvandenh well, we've always had the absolute best government that money can buy.
Those property taxes in Castle Hill is like buying a new car every 4 years!!! What are the Castle Hill city officials providing in return to the Castle Hill residents?
You guys in Texas need an initiative petition to roll back and freeze property taxes like in California with Proposition 13 or in Massachusetts with Proposition 2-1/2. Just make sure local government can't make an end run-around using the police issuing citations forcing people to pay fines through the nose or get thrown into debtor's prison
I was in city government for 10 years. So much stealing and corruption and the whole council and mayor told the citizens I was crazy. Finally I said I was not running again because they were going to go to jail and I wasn't going with them. Finally the mayor got caught stealing from his regular job and the city clerk turned on him and gave him up for stealing $10,000 in stealing from the city. By giving him up in the investigation she eliminated an audit. The state auditor did not even answer my calls for an audit to stop the stealing. The clerk was in on the stealing and saved herself by proving that small amount. That was a very small amount of what they stole and it wasn't just the mayor. But he did go to jail. I have no faith in government after my experiences at a city level. The power the federal government holds is a million times worse. They are using our tax dollars as an endless flow of cash. They do whatever they want with NO accountability and when you challenge them they have the corrupt press dismiss you in awful ways. But surpress their wrong doings. The press is as corrupted as the government.
Yes, bc most council members r corrupt bc they can get away with it, just like this, how can this happen? I really hope this is a lawsuit that needs go into action ! I hope we can do more of firing these criminals ASAP, WE CAN AS A GROUP FOR THE PEOPLE BY THE PEOPLE, FIRE THEM ALL!
@@saneuser That's actually pretty remarkable that the mayor went to jail, or that even the small amounts of tax theft were uncovered. That's what good people can accomplish. Though it left a bad taste in your mouth, you remind us good people get in too. Thank you for your service.
As for the corrupt press, they are pretty much an arm of the govt. There's been talk of CIA ties for some time, which has been proven. Most of the presstitutes are run and do the bidding of the huge, always getitng bigger corps, who have far too much money and power. Though they are getting far more by leaps and bounds w/ these citizen ruining lockdowns. It's a big mess of crony capitalism, but it amounts to a technocracy in the end.
They probably hire all their friends and family and outsource work and supplies also from friends and family. Mafia.
So the cops arrested her with no evidence, just on the word of someone? Nice.
Traitors and cowards
This is why a plea for jury nullification is needed
More people need to be educated on jury nullification! Very few of the population know about it!
@@wilbl7778 In many states attorneys can be disbarred for even saying the word "jury nullification" in a courtroom.
The judge did not like my tie when I showed up for jury duty... it said nullify this. With an arrow down 👇..
@Harry Flashman where in the TN constitution?
@Harry Flashman jurry nullification is allowed everywhere in the USA. The US Supreme Court has ruled on that. What is not allowed is for you to say the word Jury nullification in a court room, if you do as an attorney you will be disbarred. If you are on the jury and say the word you get kicked off the jury. There is a case that was in the news not to long ago where a guy was standing outside of a court building and was arrested for jury tampering because he was handing out flyers that explained jury nullification. My point wasn't that it doesn't exist, I was saying that you should be able to plea for it. In other words ask the jury to set the law aside. That is not currently allowed anyplace that I have seen, that portion of the TN allows jury nullification but it doesn't guarantee that the defense can present it as an option for the jury.
As a city councilman why Sylvia was not covered under the claim of qualified immunity...?
Good question.
The cops that arrested her and the mayor will claim QI
I tell anyone that will listen.
“Those that seek out government employement, are the most corrupt and pathetic of us all.”

I agree with you but... This is kind of stupid and idiotic thinking that got 80% of government employees being Democrats. 80% teachers, 80%+ media workers etc.. being democrats. This is a dereliction.
@Catherine Hazur But badged tyranny and qualified immunity you’re alright with?
@@vishunte5276 check out your local PD.
Guaranteed most of them are right wing conservatives .
So what is the alternative to government?
Likely lining their pockets . No room for an honest person on the council for they would lose their cash cow . Fear is a big motivator Right .
Anya grew up in the USSR. She knows something about gov't corruption.
She’s amazing and I have no doubt she will prevail.
I grew up right here in the ucsa and I know what govt corruption is too!!
I want to hear her defending Bullwinkle and Squirrel.
Then she needs to do everything she can to get them out of office.
I am so glad to know she is fighting this.
This case is grossly egregious. The only acceptable outcome is the bankrupsy of this city. Hopefully they will never get insurance again. Please do not accept any settlement.
The fact that this channel isn't huge is kind of disturbing. But I suppose it will one day. Audit the Audit and Project Veritas weren't very large until just this year... But do your part, share these video and let people know there are people out there standing up for the Constitution
DON'T BOTHER THEY WILL JUST STEAL OUR VOTE TOO INSTALL THERE CLOWN OR PUPPET
Aren't these officials supposed to be working for us and not lining their pockets with our money?
I really appreciate IJ taking on these cases and standing up for our rights!
So much for justice in the land of the free...
The politicians should face the wall
And drop your pants. Were going to shove this gravel up your asses.
I hear/read "should FACE the wall" several times.
As a ESLspeaker I can't really understand what picture you paint with it.
They should be put with their BACK against the wall and FACE a fireing squad.
Alternative sentence them to climb the gallows & short drop sudden stop them!
AND make it a public event!
Just my opinion!
I hope she has a lot of people put together a book to sell about all the secrets of the City Officials. Just like " The Help" make them eat $h!t pie when all their secrets are out in the open!
The Institute for Justice needs to get involved with the debacle in Leon Valley and help Justin Pullium!
EXACTLY LARRY
YES!
Funny I was thinking Justin would love to hear about this case. I believe they said it was in Bexar County so he is pretty familiar with that area too. Betcha Kelly and sloppy Joe know the city manager and chief pretty well too. I am so impressed with the way Justin was able to help turn the council around in LV.
@@lydiasinclair1126 YES LYDIA I AGREE 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Justin certainly did help, but there’s no way it would’ve happened without our passionate concerned citizens who stood strongly in the face of this blatant corruption.
Never forget, the police did the arresting.
A cop is just a mercenary.
The same were the guards from Auschwitz.
This is arse-backwards.
The lady should have "qualified immunity"and officials that work for we the people should be held accountable
problem is its all talk and nothing ever gets done about the problem.
I thought they were already sueing in court and they have indicated they will immediately appeal if the qualified immunity goes through! Maybe I watched a different video!!!!
I was about to write it the exact same words when I saw your post. Spooky or what
Sounds like the other council members need to be arrested and go to jail. Then be removed for incompetence.
NOT INCOMPETENCE , SEDITION AND TREASON .
Qualified immunity is the ruination of the justice system
In Michigan I can show you how deep the rabbit hole goes
Most of it never sees the news. There's a reason
Anytime things like this happen, a single complaint to a state DOJ should trigger an investigation that would land everyone involved in jail. Small town governments should never feel like they can get away with stuff like this. Government is supposed to exist to protect our rights. When they don't, they dont deserve to exist.
The "Good ol' boys club" and the swamp hates company.
This has got to be the best argument for the repeal of qualified immunity I have EVER heard !!
Bingo
Not the best I've ever heard but still good
Unfortunately "qualified immunity" is not even a law and cannot be repealed. It was just an opinion by the Supreme Court that has been given the undeserved status of a law.
This area is where citizens need to enact the 2nd amendment starting with the judges and the police unions and moving on down to government officials!
What does it mean to "enact" the 2nd Amendment? The Amendment is always in play and has been since its initial "enacting".
LEAD POISONING IS THE ONLY THING THESE PSYCHOPATH'S UNDERSTAND ! WE ARE IN A STATE OF WAR ! MILITARY JUSTICE FOR THIS CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE IS COMING . TREASON AND SEDATION AGAINST WE THE PEOPLE IS AT HAND. NEXT THING YOU KNOW THEY WILL JUST STEAL OUR VOTE. GET YOUR POPCORN THE PAIN IS COMING !
@@MrTopcat3333 Oh, come on. Violence will not create a stable solution. I doubt you have ever been in a real state of war or studied it closely. If you had, you would know how horrible war is and you would do everything you could to prevent it. War has a nasty way of coming back at you and your family in a deadly way. It echoes and escalates for generations. If you would be wise, do not let loose the dogs of war.
@@laurelinlorefield318 Tell that to the founding fathers of this nation. They were far less opressed than we are today. They must be rolling over in thier graves seeing how we have let our freedoms be taken from us with no consequences to thoes who seek to enslave us.
the mayor city manager and all those who stood against her should go to prison they should be kicked out of office. , and she should be compensated for the harm that they did her, and compensated in the millions.
Good work. continue the good job
It starts with the people you actually need, like the building inspector. Any one with the power to make your life miserable. If you are new in a small time you learn fast that everyone you work with is related in some way to everyone else. And even when they are not related they have been friends since birth.
Why undertake the effort. To what end? What are they scared of?
The founders told us how to handle the government when they behave this way.
Sounds like KillDozer time in Castle Hills.
Someone should start a go fund me for her to sue these people.
You guys do great work! Thanks.
I will not put Castle Hill on my list of towns to ever move to.
I love the institute for justice and what you folks do, but there are times I think donations would be better served in helping people purchase bulldozers and steel plating. Some days it just seems like there is no justice available except the extreme.
Totally agree, I am sad to say. Ever since Marvin Heemeyer climbed into his Killdozer and did what he had been pushed to do by a corrupt local government, more people have realized that sometimes extreme overreaction is all anyone is able to do if they wish to taste justice in any measure.

Led here by link on facebook group "The Change Leon Valley" (also a city on outskirts of San Antonio) .
The citizens of this town should take the Leon Valley route, recall elections & electing members/mayor who will take action against city manager & cops!
You should do a story on that town where a corrupt city council & police force was overthrown by both election & legal moves!
Praise the Lord for people like you to defend against these egregious injustices 🙏💕✝️
She just going to get more attention now
is
She needs a lawyer or legal firm that enjoys fighting this type of battle and there are some of them out there and they are usually large and highly motivated.
I wish it could be like the UK where people who bring frivolous lawsuits must pay all legal costs.
Thank you for taking her case.
If you think for one second that this is somehow an isolated incident that is in any way unique to this particular town, you are sorely mistaken!!
People who are in this situation should be able to get a Federal advocate to review it.
The burning question I have is what can citizens do to remedy these issues? If this is where we're going, we're doomed as a "free" society.
This basically tells me don't fight these kind of people unless you're prepared to go outside the law. This story reminds me of a shirt I saw years ago. On the back of that shirt I saw a message. It said when Injustice becomes a law, then Rebellion becomes a duty.
Good one.
All this trouble shows you that she was a threat. Clearly there’s plenty of crime being covered up. Fed’s need to be brought in.
Is it my misunderstanding or didn't she have immunity as a council member. Did the rest of the council violate her immunity? Does this nullify their own immunity?
I wish I didn’t feel like this situation was common.
They can be sued for defamation if there was malice which seems provable. I would start with that letter.
I’m surprised they didnt ask her if she had any “ill-gotten” cash on her that they could seize (AKA civil asset forfeiture)
U MEAN PLANT COCAINE IN HER POCKETBOOK???
End of corruption is near my friends -
Maga 2020
"End of corruption is near my friends -"
No it isn't. Not even close - especially if the Biden crime family gets into power.
The sad thing is, this isn't an isolated incident & they're not the most corrupt
Then those who participated in ousting her, should be arrested for abuse of power. We need to put those drunk with power on notice, the people are now aware of the corruption that runs through our political system and we are looking to clean out the filth so that we can sleep at night knowing that the people running things are working in our best interest. People go boldly forth, speak truth and demand truth. We are ultimately responsible .
Thank you

Small towns.... Steven Avery (born July 9, 1962) is an American convicted murderer from Manitowoc County, Wisconsin, who had previously been wrongfully convicted in 1986 of sexual assault and attempted murder. After serving 18 years of a 32-year sentence, he was exonerated by DNA testing and released in 2003, only to be charged with trumped up charges of murder two years later
The only thing some cities manage well are theirs and their crony's paychecks.
Time to bring back the old west Justice!
Hey Anya, Thank you and IJ for your support of this lady.
Anya means "Graceful", "Inexhaustible" and that characteristic came across in your presentation.
On a side note, most people do not know "case law" is a misnomer. It is legally a matter of Federal Policy and not a matter of "law", case or otherwise. Judges issue "opinions",not law.
Only legislatures make laws. Justice Kavanough is correct when he stated
"Judges “must interpret the law, not make the law,” observed Judge Brett Kavanaugh in accepting Donald Trump’s designation to fill Justice Anthony Kennedy’s seat on the Supreme Court."
Supreme court made it clear
""Stare decisis is a principle of POLICY, not a mechanical formula of adherence to the latest decision" " Helvering v. Hallock, 309 U.S. 106, 110 (1940) *emphasis mine!
Payne, 501 U.S. at 828 says about stare decisis "IT IS NOT “an inexorable command.”
I bring this up because I went Pro Se all the way to the Supreme Court relying on "res judicata and stare decisis". Not only that, but also on "clearly established law" found in published Federal Statutes. The Federal court found ways to get around "Case Law" as well as published federal law by simply ignoring both. The only effect was to embarrass them for their criminal and "controlling" political agenda which they mitigated by assigning "un-published,no precedent " to the case.
Don't expect any relief at the District Court level. If lucky you may find relief at the appellate level or Supreme court due to new justices being seated. I only received "partial relief" when I appealed it "en banc", even then it was still a cover up for the District Court.
These courts have become a major embarrassment to the American Justice system.
Use 2nd ad.endmendment on them
Ycso sheriff got a DUI ironic mayer az
Look up the other case they cite - where the sheriff's in Fresno CA stole 225K and because of “qualified immunity” were never charged and kept the loot.
sounds exactly like what is/has been happening in leon valley, another small suburb of san antonio, texas.
It’s very sad! I’m wanting to know if the citizens of castle hills mobilized the way we did in leon valley.
Mobilized? They are sheep.
Recently I have seen a number of cases where people have been persecuted for speaking out about government corruption. Is ANY government official upholding the CONSTITUTION??????
The same question I've been asking
" Is ANY government official upholding the CONSTITUTION??????"
Obviously not.
never met one, & i've been forced to deal with'em for 50 years.
Great Work! Your organizations goal is huge but worth the effort, it's likely that with more liberties being abused by governmental agencies - more political accountability has to be enforced
They should b fired and spend a yr in jail.😡
Yes, very typical of small cities, big cities and communist states ironically, were nepotism is rampant and very few stand up to stop it for fear of retaliation.
It goes all the way to the top
This is going to come back and bite them in the ass I think that mayor needs to go to jail for a while or maybe just prison put in general population
Oh wow, hey look at that, 7 cops have watched this video so far.
Government officials who use their governmental power to violate civil liberties should be criminally charged.
City council thugs. The twp needs to stand up & support this sweet lady! Putting the elderly in jail to humiliate. Wow. Heartless, guttless cowards!
This was a 1st Amendment violation with drummed up charges to hide that fact! A lawsuit should ensue to get everyone involved fired out of government and a payment to the lady filing for time lost! The judge,if not on crack,should instantly see circumstances clearly! If you violate the 1st Amendment,your immunity is zero!
Deprivation of rights under the color of law is a felony.
A Federal crime. Can be a capitol offense punishable by death.
But do they enforce it.?
