  1. Moron courts have perverted DP stuff since about 1830 —
    attempts to use it to stop econ laws and slavery stuff.

    Got super-worse with DP cl in 14-1 Amdt.

  2. This case is being brought under “due process”. So Amendment 14 presumably…the catch all and thus over wrought amendment.

    Why is it not being raised under Article 1 ยง 10 prohibition of passing ex post facto laws by the States?

    Further, in addition to an ex post facto alteration of petition requirements, it seems to me that the State also impairs the obligation of contract…which is also forbidden constitutionally.
