In my civil rights case against Lancaster County, the federal judge handling the matter just handed down a ruling that defies logic, law, and basic fairness. On March 7, he dismissed most of my claims—even though he admitted he didn’t have jurisdiction over some of them. See ECF 35 and 36. He said he couldn’t hear them… and then ruled against them anyway. That’s not a legal decision—that’s a power play.
When I filed motions to challenge that ruling—pointing out its legal contradictions, ethical violations, and due process problems—the judge suddenly changed his tune. Now, he says he has no power to fix his own mistakes because I’ve appealed the case.
Let that sink in.
This judge claimed full authority when it was time to throw my case out—but, once I asked him to follow the rules and explain himself, he said his hands were tied. He used his power when it helped the government, then pretended he didn’t have it when it came time to answer to the people.
That’s not judging. That’s evasion.
We all deserve a fair court—one that follows the law, even when it’s inconvenient. The law says judges must resolve jurisdiction first. The law says courts can still hear motions about bias, misconduct, and basic fairness even after an appeal. But, this judge doesn’t seem interested in the law. He’s interested in closing the door behind him.
This isn’t just about my case. It’s about what kind of justice system we’re willing to tolerate.
I’m not backing down. The record is preserved, the appeal is moving forward, and the misconduct is now a matter of public record.
