I, as the petitioner, am a victim of a flawed justice system that inhibits the citizen's right to seek redress for grievances, as provided by the 1st Amendment of the United States Constitution. The corruption and obstruction of justice experienced personally have compelled me to launch this petition. This problem is far bigger than just one person - it is a nationwide issue that impacts many lives. A study by Pew Research suggests that only a quarter of U.S citizens trust their judicial system, illustrating the magnitude of this problem. We must rise and voice out against this violation of our constitutional rights and demand justice. Allow us, the citizens, exercise our right to petition the government, urging them to acknowledge and rectify the incorrect application of justice. We implore fellow citizens to rally with us in demanding respect, integrity, and fair application of justice in our courts. Please sign this petition to help uphold the First Amendment Rights and to take a stand against corruption in our judicial system.

THE ISSUE:

Complaint Against El Paso County, Colorado, Judge David Shakes for Obstruction of Justice and Failure to Knowingly Uphold the Law.

The Constitution of the United States, states that a citizen of the United States has the right to petition the government for a redress of grievance. This judge violated my constitutional right to petition the government for a redress of a grievance. He took it upon himself to deny this right stating that I cannot file my redress of grievance in a motion/petition. The U.S. Constitution gives me the right to file a motion for a redress of a grievance as a U.S. Citizen, no matter where I am located. The Constitution does not say that I have to be physically in a courtroom. In fact, many court cases today allow for virtual court hearings; the judge could have ordered a virtual court hearing, but he refused to do so,  wasting tax payers money.

JURISDICTION:

In the United States, the right to petition is enumerated in the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, which specifically prohibits Congress from abridging "the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances".

Although often overlooked in favor of other more famous freedoms, and sometimes taken for granted, many other civil liberties are enforceable against the government only by exercising this basic right. According to the Congressional Research Service, since the Constitution was written, the right of petition has expanded. It is no longer confined to demands for “a redress of grievances,” in any accurate meaning of these words, but comprehends demands for an exercise by the government of its powers in furtherance of the interest and prosperity of the petitioners and of their views on politically contentious matters. The right extends to the "approach of citizens or groups of them to administrative agencies (which are both creatures of the legislature, and arms of the executive) and to courts, the third branch of Government. Certainly the right to petition extends to all departments of the Government. The right of access to the courts is indeed but one aspect of the right of petition."

1st Amendment to the Constitution of the United States:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

CONCLUSION:

Judge Shakes has no authority to prevent me as a Citizen of the United States, to petition the court by motion/petition, for a redress of grievances. He violated the law, and civil rights under the 1st Amendment of the United States Constitution.

He violated the law by attempting to make a law respecting the establishment to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
