Have you ever lost a court case? TIME TO APPEAL TO CONGRESS!!!!
Edited on Mon Mar-21-05 09:10 AM by Walt Starr
Yes, now that the precedent has been set and the Congress has become the final arbiters to adjudicate when all other judicial avenues have been closed, every person who has ever lost a court case should be appealing their cases before the Congress.

That's what Congress did in the middle of the night last night. They set themselves up as a part of the appeals process and I highly recommend everybody who has ever lost in any court in this nation to appeal to Congress for a new trial! If one person has this right, EVERY PERSON HAS THIS RIGHT!!!

In fact, if it's a criminal case, an appeal should be filed with the federal district court which has jurisdiction that Congress has set a precedent with Terri's law and every person who has ever been convicted of a crime should have the entire process begin anew with witnesses being called and prosecutors making their cases while defense attorneys defend AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL.

One do-over is a precedent and if Terri's law is not struck down as unconstitutional immediately, the federal courts should be inundated with appeals based upon the second round precedent of this law.

The Congress should also be inundated with appeals. After all, the Congress has set themselves up as a part of the appeal process with this law. Every person has 535 extra judges to appeal any case from a traffic ticket to a murder conviction.

Teach Congress a lesson. Start filing your appeals today if you have ever been involved in a court case that did not turn out the way you would like.

2. I would, but I have never in my life been involved in a court case

If I had ever lost a court case, I'd immediately file 535 copies of an appeal, one for each and every member of the House and Senate.

3. This has been done: private laws
A number of citizens have sought Congressional intervention when courts have ruled against them, especially in some immigration cases. One case in point was in New Jersey, when courts ruled against permanent residency for two men in Jersey.

Sens. Corzine and Lautenberg introduced a private bill for their relief so they could get their green cards, and to my knowledge, the bill passed and was signed into law. I don't remember all the details.

4. It's too bad that this option wasn't open to Bart Ross. Then maybe

he wouldn't have murdered Judge Lefkow's mother and husband. He was upset that the courts had rejected his appeals. And to think all he needed to do was call on Congress!


Edit: Turned my fingers around!
