Leo Donofrio files suit in New Jersey, now in the US Supreme Court

• October 27 - Leo Donofrio files case against SOS in New Jersey
• Judge Sabation dismissed it
• Donofrio appeals to New Jersey Supreme Court
• October 31 - Honorable Justice Virginia A. Long dismissed it
• November 3 - Donofrio appeals to the US Supreme Court
• November 6 - Justice Souter denies application For Emergency Stay
• Case is still "pending" because of Mr. Bikell's error
• United States Supreme Court Docket #08A407
• This is a quote from Leo Donofrio

 On Thursday, I finally got through to Mr. Bickle and was informed by him that the case was never passed on to Justice Suoter because Mr. Bickle didn't think it was an appropriate Application.  I was absolutely astounded.  Mr. Bickle told me that I should have made a full Petition for Writ of Certiorari.  And I told him he was flat out wrong, because :

- I followed the Court Rules perfectly
- we spoke all about this on Monday and he agreed with my interpretation of the rules then
- my case was properly before the court from the Supreme Court of NJ
- and the precedent was Bush v. Gore where no Petition was necessary

All the while speaking to Mr. Bickle, I stayed calm and gentle while the anger was seething inside of me hoping he would Docket it, even at this late stage so I would have something to show people when I finally went public.

 

It's not the Clerk's job job to play Judge.  His job is to collect the papers and pass them onto the Justices, but as to this action Mr. Bickle basically made a substantive judgment of law and denied my application on his own.

 

After explaining Bush v. Gore to him, where the Court treated the Stay application as a Petition for Cert. and then granted that virtual Petition, he blinked and agreed to Docket the case, but he still tried to persuade me to drop it anyway stating, "Do you want to redo the election?"

• November 12 - More news
•  This is another quote from Leo Donofrio:

Speaking to Mr. Bickell a few minutes ago, I asked him what happened to my letter informing me of the first disposition back on Monday Nov. 3rd when he decided not to pass the Stay Application on to Justice Souter.  To this he replied, "That wasn't a disposition so I didn't have to give you any notice."  Incredible.  He disposed of my case illegally and then said that since it wasn't a proper disposition I wasn't entitled to notice thereof, and certainly not by "appropriately speedy means".  Sabotage.

• November 18 - Update

As of 2:15 PM, Nov. 18, the US Supreme Court docket has been updated and the renewed application for an emergency stay of the 2008 national election is apparently now before The Honorable Associate Justice Clarence Thomas.

I'm sure the people would want to know.

Warm regards,

Leo Donofrio

• November 19 - Update
• Justice Thomas distributes to conference.  Check it out.

 11/19/08 - Justice Thomas has decided to move this case to conference on December 5th.  All 9 United States Supreme Court Justices will look at case and determine to 1) grant motion, 2) dismiss motion, or 3) hold a hearing on the motion. 

• December 1 - Correction
• Full Court has distributed this case to conference on December 5th, not just Justice Thomas.  This means that, according to the docket, all 9 Justices have agreed to have a Rule of 4 Conference on December 5th.  If 4 of the 9 Justices respond to Leo's case, we are going to see some real action!  Here's a good report from the Right Side of Life.
• December 2 - Misconduct report docketed
• Kind of late, it was sent on 11/22
