Nationwide, Permanent Injunction
An old, WWII bomber pilot once said “The flak is heaviest when you’re over the target.”
This is as true in the battle against criminal government activity as it is in war.
After we filed two new lawsuits in 2017 against four (4) Federal judges (17-cv-1720 and 17-cv-2602), Michael Ellis and I were ordered to appear at a hearing before U.S. District Court Judge Christopher R. Cooper on March 1, 2018, in Washington, D.C. The purpose of the hearing was to “show cause” why we should NOT be held in Contempt of Court for allegedly violating Judge Cooper’s earlier injunction issued in April 19, 2017. At the end of the hearing, Judge Cooper found that we had NOT violated his injunction because the injunction did not prohibit us from filing any action against “judicial officers”. However, Judge Cooper did order the DoJ attorney to submit additional language to amend his April 19, 2017 injunction to include “judicial officers”.
On April 3, 2018, Judge Cooper then issued the following Amended Nationwide Permanent Injunction, which included the additional third bullet point in Paragraph 1.
This amended injunction is posted on this website to comply with paragraph (3) of his Order.
