  • Well, I believe that this case will prove that:

    “A good judge applies the law as it is not as she would like it to be” Supreme Court -
    Justice Sandra O’Connor

    I currently over ten (10) discrimination and civil rights cases pending in the Federal District Court of Kansas; Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals; and Eighth Circuit, as a Pro Se litigant all I can say if the law was applied as it was and not as judges would like it to be there would be more justice for the American citizens today!
