UPDATED: 2:10 PM: Leo C. Donofrio was just contacted by Mr. Danny Bickell, Stay Clerk of the United States Supreme Court as a direct result of Mr. Bickell receiving phone calls from the public. THREE ISSUES WERE DISCUSSED:
1. He is now in the process of correcting the Docket to reflect that my case is before the US Supreme Court from a direct ruling of the NJ Supreme Court wherein a Constitutional issue had been raised.
2. Mr. Bickell informed me today that after he decided, improperly, not to pass on my Emergency Stay Application to Justice Souter on Nov. 3rd, that he did not owe me any special notification of such disposition of my case according to his interpretation of Supreme Court Rule 22(6) which states:
“6. The Clerk will advise all parties concerned, by appropriately speedy means, of the disposition made of an application.”
Mr. Bickell insisted that by “appropriately speedy means”, the Court Rule only demands he use ordinary mail. I then asked him how is that different from the ordinary means by which you notify litigants as to the diisposition of their cases? And he replied, “It’s the same.” And I said, then how is that by “speedy means”? And he said I wasn’t entitled to a phone call or anything else. And I said, “Then it’s your official position that Rule 22(6) calls for nothing more than the same notification as an ordinary case and that the words “appropriately speedy means” really have no special meaning at all. And to this he replied, “That’s my official position.”
3. Mr Bickell has informed me that my renwed Application for an Emergency Stay will be submitted to Justice Clarence Thomas on the day it is received. He also requested that people stop calling him, and I told him that these people are just citizens, I don’t know who they are, and I can’t command them to do anything but that they are watching the Supreme Court’s actions and they want to see that Justice is done in this case, and Justice pertains not just to the substantive case but to the procedural aspects as well under the Supreme Court Rules which have not been followed so far as to this case.
Should we keep calling?
Somebody needs to run with this. I think thing may be breaking. If SCOTUS starts to see more heat - citizens may get some attention. What about Savage or Hannity or Beck. Do any conservative talk radio show hosts or the GOP have any guts anymore?
Drudge? Any big web sites? Newsmax, WorldNet? CNSNews? Atlas Shrugs has it but she needs to post how Leo is getting the run around.
Leo Donofrio is awesome.
BRAVO!!!!
bump
BUMP!
Bickell doesn’t want phone calls?
The chutzpah!
