I am outraged and disgusted by Bickell's cavalier piracy of my rights, of your rights, of our rights. And my passion for the law has never been greater than it is right now. I believe in law and order and that all stands must be made under the color of law

Hi Dale,
How ya doing?
Agree with part of what you’re saying (ego trip etc), but this is different. In this particular blog it is the ONLY way copies of the actual petitions to the court, Court documents and other relavant information can be transmitted to “We the People” This is a “Da... Good” use of a blog.
Hope NJ is treating you well.
See below. Just replace the justice name below. Note that Roberts is the only Chief Justice. The others are Associate Justices.
VERY IMPORTANT: Include the docket number in your letter and the link to Leo’s web site in the letter.
The Honorable Associate Justice Clarence Thomas
United States Supreme Court
One First Street, N.E.,
Washington, D.C. 20543.

Been recouperating for awhile, got knocked off a ladder and ripped all the mussles out of my back, it’s been slow healing.
Came down 10’, landed on my head and my feet ewnt clear over my head, hit the ground before returning.
Apparently didn’t hurt my head except for 7 staples, they took a cat scan and came back and told me there was nothing there.

Let me give you a little example of “The Power of a Letter”
Years ago I was pres of a state organization dealing with Arts in the schools. The State SUpt decided out of the blue to eliminate the programs in our schools. He wouldn’t listen to any of our arguments.
At a state convention we asked each educator not to pass petitions, but to ask each parent, former student, etc to write just one letter.
WIthin a week the Supt’s office had bags of mail delivered. Each envelope had to be opened and read for content. We literally shut down the Supt’s office. We were called in immediately to talk.
Got all five of the requests I had presented previously passed.
SO: Do not limit one letter to one justice. Write EACH Justice @ least once. And post the request to as many as possible.
The power of the individual letter....YES!
Also post Bergs’ docut number so we can each write at least two letters to each justice......See above post.
Note all the readers will click links. Copying that reference over for readers to paraphrase from:

Dear Justice Thomas,
I am appealing to you directly as a US citizen who believes you are being systematically denied awareness of a legitimate appeal to the US Supreme Court, the docket number of which is referenced above, by a single individual in the clerk’s office — the Stay Clerk, Mr. Danny Bickell.
The appeal referenced above has made its way through the New Jersey Supreme Court, raises a Constitutional issue regarding the eligibility of Presidential candidates and is therefore properly presented to the US Supreme Court.
My contention is that Mr. Bickell has exceeded his authority and through deliberate misconduct is refusing to acknowledge the New Jersey Supreme Court’s review of the case, after its review by the New Jersey Appellate Division, which allows the case to be properly presented to the US Supreme Court.
Mr. Bickell’s specific docketing of the case fails to mention the case went to the New Jersey Supreme Court though the order from the New Jersey Supreme Court is reproduced within the web site also referenced above. By failing to docket the case correctly Mr. Bickell ensures that the case will not reach your desk or the desk of any other Supreme Court Justice.
The history of this case and its handling within the Clerk’s office is well documented within the web site above and is very troubling!
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
Yours very truly,
copy
“Nothin there? “ Love ya Dale! Hugs.
Take my word and my 88 year old retired attorney dad’s word, who is living with me now. This is serious! We need to get letters going to the SCOTUS immediately. The SCOTUS must act to presevere the integrity of the Constitution: “Contitutional Crisis in the work”
We need to try to get these letters to SCOTUS in the mail tonight or by this weekend so they show up hopefully by Monday. My letter to Justice Thomas was mailed this morning. The others will go out tonight.
Leo is fighting for us and the USA. The market is getting pounded again today. No one in business has ANY confidence in O and his gang of thugs for his cabinet. Hillary would have been 10 times better than O.
Actually, when We The People get active, we are helping ourselves rather than setting our sovereignty aside. We are the sovereigns of America. These people work for us. We have a right to not be shut out of the processes. I once applied to the Congress to speak before the assembled House. My request was literally laughed off on the phone, so I wrote letters. I was told that I have representatives to speak for me. I am not satisfied with such arrogant crap. I am contacting my newly elected House rep from my district to speak with him in person ... and I’ll drive to DC if needed, to have a chance to speak my mind on two particular issues. I still want to speak to the assembled House, but I shall wait for the issues I hold most dear to be before that body before I make the request again, and this time through an elected Rep!
Blogs should be OUTLAWED? Blogs are the “Common Sense” of the 21st century. Freedom of Speech is curtailed only in Totalitarian countries, like Obama’s America.
Actually the desk in the Suptof Schools look similar...
FR mail incoming!

UPDATE: 1:31 PM
Its important that letters are still forwarded to his Honorable Associate Justice Clarence Thomas as well as Chief Justice Roberts and the rest of the Court. Now that the Docket reflects that my case has followed proper procedure through all possible lower court jurisdictions, I will resubmit the application for an emergency stay of the national election to Justice Clarence Thomas.
Supreme Court Rule 22(4) (operating in tandem with Rule 23) gives me the right, by law, to resubmit the Application for Emergency Stay to “any other Justice” once the original stay application has been denied. According to the Docket, and a letter I received from Mr. Danny Bickell, Justice Souter denied the stay application on November 6th.
So, according to the Rules, I may now resubmit the application to “any other justice.”
However, there is still one issue which must be dealt with before I resubmit the stay application. Rule 22 (4) requires that I write a letter to the Clerk indicating which Justice I am renewing the stay application to. This letter is supposed to go to William Suter, Clerk of the US Supreme Court, but the “stay clerk” is Mr. Danny Bickell and I’m certain that the renewed stay application will go directly through him.
Once the “Clerk” receives it, Rule 22(1) prescribes the following duty to the Clerk in relation thereto:
Rule 22. Applications to Individual Justices
1. An application addressed to an individual Justice shall be filed with the Clerk, who will transmit it promptly to the Justice concerned if an individual Justice has authority to grant the sought relief. (Emphasis added.)
This means that the original stay application should have been submitted to Justice Souter on Mon. Nov 3rd, the day I filed it, the day it was stamped. But it wasn’t “transmitted promptly”, it was disposed of promptly by Mr. Bickell, and it was disposed of wrongly. Eventually it was actually transmitted to Justice Souter, but only after I read Mr. Bickell the riot act.
Ponder this; if Mr. Bickell had been intially correct in disposing of the stay application on Monday Nov. 3rd, then why did he eventually Docket it and submit it to Justice Souter on Nov. 6th? The answer is obvious. He was wrong to have disposed of it, and he was wrong to have failed to notify me of such disposition and he’s been wrongly trying to dispose of it in one way or another ever since.
I anticipate that Mr. Bickell will be handed my renewed “application for an emergency stay” by interns in the Clerk’s office, even though, technically, according to Rule 22(1) the letter accompanying the application must be addressed to the “Clerk”. The Clerk is “William K Suter”.
Please send Mr. Suter letters indicating that you, as an American citizen, are outraged at the disrespect and sabotage this case, Donofrio v. Wells, US Supreme Court Docket No. 08A407, has been subjected to. Mr. Suter’s address is:
William K. Suter, Clerk
United States Supreme Court
Office of the Clerk
Washington, D.C. 20543-0001
[Please dont’ confuse Clerk Suter with Justice Souter.]
When You write Your letters to Justice Thomas, the other Justices, and Clerk Suter, it would be good to include a paragraph explaining that the case reflects a matter of vital public importance, depends on a genuine Constitutional issue of first impression, is coming directly from the NJ Supreme Court and is relying on the “stay application” precedent issued by the Court in Bush v. Gore, 531 U.S. 98 (2000):
“Governor Bush and Richard Cheney, Republican Candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency, filed an emergency application for a stay of this mandate. On December 9, we granted the application, treated the application as a petition for a writ of certiorari, and granted certiorari.”
UnfortunatelyBickell failed to recognize the precedent set in that case when he initially refus, Mr. ed to pass on my “stay application” to Justice Souter on Nov. 3rd. When I spoke to Mr. Bickell on Nov. 6th, he told my stay application shold have come with a “Full Petition for Writ of Certiorari”. Thats’ why he refused to pass it on.
It was this decision which delayed Justice. This was a decision of substantive law made by a clerk who subverted the authority of the US Supreme Court. And his decision, despite being an act of direct insubordination, was also legally flawed.
As was done in Bush v. Gore, also a Presidential election case involving an emergency, the Supreme Court, in its wisdom, recognizing the exigency of the circumstances, decided to relax its formal requirements and instead, the Honorable Court, in granting the Stay, decided to accept the less formal Stay Application as if it were a full Petition for Writ of Certiorari, and then they granted Certiorari.
This was the precedent I was proceeding under. Had Mr. Bickell followed the Supreme Court Rules, Justice Souter would have received my emergency Stay Application on Monday Nov. 3rd, shortly after 4:30PM. But Mr. Bickell didn’t Docket the case until Nov. 6th, and only after I protested vehemently. While arguing with me, Mr. Bickell told me that it didn’t matter what I did or what law I cited, “Justice Souter will just deny it...and Justice Thomas will also deny it.”
How dare he speak for our Supreme Court. The audacity is disgusting.
According to the Docket and Mr. Bickell’s letter, Justice Souter apparently denied the Stay Application on that same day.
Had Justice Souter denied it on Nov. 3rd instead, and had Mr. Bickell then followed Rule 22(6), which says that I was to be informed of the “disposition” of the case “by appropriately speedy means”, i.e., a phone call, then I could have resubmitted the Stay Application to Justice Clarence Thomas at 9:00 AM on Nov. 4th, Election Day, and since the case was bi-partisan, and at that time there was no winner, Justice Clarence Thomas could have granted the stay, stopped the Election, brought in the whole Court, and decided the “natural born citizen” issue before the voting was done.
I did everything in my power to see that this was the case, and Mr. Bickell did everything in his power to see that this wasn’t the case.
And that’s why your letters are still needed. Mr. Bickell needs to understand that Justice Clarence Thomas and the rest of the Court will be aware that this case is on its way to them and that if anybody is going to deny the stay application - “We the People” - demand that it be a genuine US Supreme Court Justice and not a clerk impersonating a Justice.
Very Truly Yours,
Leo C. Donofrio
dalereed appears to soend some time trying to tear down and sneer at any efforts to bring this to the SCOTUS.
Why, dalereed? Just because you think it will fail?
Unlike your good self.... of course.
If you write differently from your first format, can you post it here so we have a format to paraphrase from? Thanks.
Back later~
