John Thompson is Being Wrongfully Treated by Government
“There are cases where an individual has been wrongfully treated by his government and about the only way, unless the individual resorts to
court, and even in some cases the courts are not able to give proper relief, the only area or avenue open to the individual is through his
representative. When you find a bona fide error has been made, I suggest that you make a maximum effort to remedy it. This I feel is a vital
and important function of those of us in the House of Representatives”.

Authors: Donald G. Tacheron and Morris Udall, from the book entitled, “The Job of the Congressman”, pages 65 and 66.

(The above excerpt “The Job of the Congressman” holds true for any elected office holder, and/or U.S. Citizen.)

Article VI, USC:  This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all treaties made,
or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State
shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary not withstanding.  

“……Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and Members of several State legislatures (all elected officials), and all
executive and judicial Officers of the United States and of the several states, Shall be bound by oath of affirmation, to support this
Constitution

14th Amendment, USC, Section 1:   “No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of
citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to
any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

14th Amendment, USC, Section 4:   “……But neither the United States public debt of the United States nor any State shall assume or
pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or
emancipation of any slave: but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.”

Thus by the 14th Amendment, Section 4, there will be no compensation or reparations for slavery, be the slave holder Caucasian,
black, or other.  

Unlike reparations for slavery which is not possible, “Equal Justice and Protection Under the Law” and/or other Constitutional rights
used for redress to award court settlements, are in fact possible today.   It is possible to bring redress for John Thompson, Carl
Steadman, honorably discharged disabled draftee awarded the “purple heart” WWII veteran Leon E. Lofton and/or the Lofton family
heirs, Michael Lofton, Carl Steadman, and other law abiding U.S. born descendants of slaves egregiously violated by the atrocities of
a government seriously gone awry.

John Thompson is entitled to Equal Justice and Protection Under the Law!

1.    “John Thompson spent 14 years on death row because prosecutors had hidden a blood test that would have exonerated him. A $14-
million judgment against New Orleans prosecutors was overturned by the Supreme Court.

2.     “A bitterly divided Supreme Court on Tuesday tossed out a jury verdict won by a New Orleans man who spent 14 years on death row
and came within weeks of execution because prosecutors had hidden a blood test and other evidence that would have proven his innocence.”

3.    “The 5-4 decision delivered by Justice Clarence Thomas shielded the New Orleans district attorney's office from being held liable for the
mistakes of its prosecutors……”

4.    “Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg emphasized her disapproval by reading her dissent in the courtroom, saying the court was shielding a city and
its prosecutors from "flagrant" misconduct that nearly cost an innocent man his life.”

5.    “Thompson was scheduled to be put to death. But a private investigator hired by his lawyer found a blood test in the police lab that
showed the man wanted for a related carjacking had type B blood, while Thompson's was type O.”

6.    “Bystanders reported seeing a man who was 6 feet tall with close-cropped hair running away holding a gun. Thompson was 5 feet 8 and
had a bushy Afro.

7.    “Thompson's lawyers showed that at least four prosecutors knew about the hidden blood test. They also showed evidence of other,
similar cases in New Orleans in which key evidence was concealed from defense lawyers.”

Items 1 through 7 are key points from the LA Times article entitled “Supreme Court rejects damages for innocent man who spent 14
years on death row” by David G. Savage, Washington Bureau, March 30, 2011, reporting from Washington, and published in the LA
Times

Clearly the U.S. Supreme Court, especially U.S. Supreme Court Justice Thomas, have failed to protect the Constitutional Rights and
right of John Thompson to receive a $14 million court settlement for the damage done to his life for serving 14 years on Death Row,
and within weeks of execution because of rogue New Orleans City prosecutors and/or other government employees.

Why is the Harvard law school graduate with a background in Constitutional law President Barack Obama (but President Barack
Obama is bending over backwards to promote the "Dream Act" for illegal/undocumented immigrants and/or visiting his Irish relatives in
Ireland), the Congressional Black Caucus, the NAACP, Reverend Al Sharpton and other poverty pimps, newspapers such as the Los
Angeles Sentinel,  other newspapers and journalists, and/or other university educated blacks remaining silent about the issue of a
proven innocent Black man serving 14 years on Death Row and subsequently denied “Equal Justice and Protection Under the Law?

First and foremost,  President Barack Obama, multiple members of the Congressional Black Caucus, the numerous elected leaders
affiliated with the liberal Democratic Party who hold or have held office in jurisdictions, and/or others affiliated with the Democratic
Party, to where law abiding U.S. born Blacks are egregiously violated by government in New Orleans, Atlanta, Baltimore,  Chicago,
Detroit, Los Angeles, Oakland, etc., etc., have yet to read, understand, and practice the principles of U.S. government, the “rule of
law”,  the U.S. Constitution, and/or a respective State Constitution.  Elected Officials are under oath and bound by the Constitution to
protect and serve law abiding U.S. citizens egregiously violated by the atrocities of government.

These very individuals are quick to place blame on former President George W. Bush, the Bush Administration, the wording of the original U.S.
Constitution, The Republican Party, Sarah Palin, Tea Party activists, etc.........

.....all while remaining silent, giving “atta boys or girls” and/or giving a free pass with no accountability to President Barack Obama, multiple
members of the Congressional Black Caucus, the liberal Democratic Party, public employee unions, illegal immigrant rights organizations,
subversive organizations, Deputy Clerk Delores "Sellout" Odom-Stocks (similar but unsigned court documents are null and void), etc., at the
expense of the rights of law abiding U.S. citizens and legal immigrants.

The Democratic Party, the so-called vanguard for the little gal or guy, the working class, pertaining to multiple members of the
Democratic Congressional Black Caucus and/or other liberal Democratic Party elected officials had to have Republican Party House
Representatives read the U.S. Constitution  to them, due to the fact that so many elected officials affiliated with the Democratic Party, hold
office, but who don’t have a clue of understanding of the basic practices and principles of U.S. government.

Slim chance exists to where the lawful rights of innocent U.S. citizens, such as John Thompson, and/or others are protected when
elected officials don’t honor and make use of the principles to which this nation stands to competently serve John Thomson, honorably
discharged disabled draftee awarded the “purple heart”  WWII Combat Infantry Veteran Leon E. Lofton and/or the Lofton family heirs,
Michael Lofton, Carl Steadman, and other law abiding U.S. born descendants of slaves egregiously violated by government.   

Should government fail, be it at the federal, state, county, and/or city jurisdiction of authority, then the final “check and balance” are the
people.
1st Amendment, USC:   “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 assembly, and to petition the Government
for redress of grievances.”
10th Amendment, USC:   “The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others
retained by the people.”
.............meaning when the government fails to do its' job, in this instance the Supreme Court, any Judicial, any Executive, and/or Legislative
branch of government,  then the final “checks and balances” are with the people.  

Join me in petitioning President Barack Obama and your elected representatives at the federal, state, county, and city levels of
government in behalf of John Thompson for the $14 million court settlement plus any additional amount deemed fair by U.S. Citizens for
the additional pain and suffering endured due to this very unjust, truly Un-American U.S. Supreme Court decision.

Last but not least, more than any other government official or elected officials,  President Barack Obama, the Congressional Black
Caucus, and Justice Clarence Thomas have a duty to protect the rights of U.S. born descendants of slaves, specifically John
Thompson.  Supreme Court Justice Thomas should be impeached, and barred from public service.

Sincerely,

Michael L. Lofton

There is no question that elected black leaders are dysfunctional and don't respect the rule of law.
