Color Of Law Center Is Calling on Justice Kavanaugh To Recuse Himself from Pending Case 18-6140
by Evan Nasseri Seo ExpertFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Washington DC (October 10, 2018) -
“If someone isn't able to be recognized by our legal system then
essentially we talk about rights. They (people with disabilities) have
no space to exercise those rights.” - Emily Martinez Director Human
Rights Initiative - Open Society Foundations
Petitioner Hardaway
is a person with disabilities and she had no space to exercise her
rights. Judge Kavanaugh had a history of taken advantage of her lack of
capacity, and therefore taken advantage of her disability. This abuse is
especially disheartening because she ran to the DC Circuit Court to
stop the outrageous abuse of Judge Richard J. Leon.
Judge Leon
filed her sister’s medical records only given to the court to receive a
reasonable accommodation request under the Americans with Disabilities
Act. Since her sister could not read or write she needed a lawyer to be
appointed. She was forced to act as her severely disabled sister’s
lawyer and her request was denied.
To further abuse Hardaway,
the court filed her sister’s two-page detailed medical records into the
docket as part of their complaint. She immediately filed an appeal
regarding this abuse. Not only did the court violate her federal privacy
rights and, ADA rights, but the court has violated their own local rule
of handling medical records.
Judge Kavanaugh was part of the
three circuit court judges who did not see their humanity and took
advantage of their lack of capacity to file an appeal properly. Hardaway
thought if she writes a simple statement saying the court unjustly
filed her sister’s medical records as part of the complaint on the open
docket, that the court will not care how she wrote the appeal.
Again,
Hardaway is not a lawyer; She is a person with inherited intellectual
disability. So, in her appeal, She wrote to the DC Circuit "How would
you feel if your grandmother’s medical records were filed as part of
complaint for the world to see?” ..."wouldn’t you want someone to
care?" – But despite that approach, the DC Circuit Court still did not
care, just like the Atlantic City police did not care when she tried to
report a sexual assault in the 40/40 club in November 2007.
Also,
just like that the Justice Department did not care when she reported
the Atlantic City police that refused to enforce her right not to be
sexually assaulted. At the height of it was also when the Justice
Department finally responded to all her follow-up letter. The “Justice”
Department said, “Your complaint is not serious enough” for the Justice
Department. How being sexually assaulted and not having the police
follow the rule of law can be declared not serious enough? Judge
Kavanaugh did not follow the rule of law. Justice Brett Kavanaugh's
history of gross abuse of discretion disqualifies him from participating
in her pending case 18-6140.
Given Justice Kavanaugh history of
judicial abuse in “legally related case 13-7138.” Where Kavanaugh
unlawful order was unanimously overturned May 2016, and declared a
“gross abuse of discretion” by DC circuit court on December 6, 2016.
Due to Kavanaugh blatant disregard for people with disabilities rights,
partisanship and personal animosity toward the poor he must recuse
himself.
