Cody,

I have the Emanuel's "Constitutional law, and Civil Law" in PDF, we need to post this somehow.

Very good examples of cases. I also have around six pages of case law to beat down dismisal as pro se/pro per. I know yo don't like the terms, but you could taylor them to a case.

I would love to post these cases, to avoid dismissal!! (in any case, not just cody's)

Civil action for deprivation of rights: This section making
any person who, under color of state law, deprives U.S. citizens of
his constitutional rights liable to party injured is to be
construed liberally. (Civil Rights) Nanez v. Rigger, DC. Wis.
1969, 304 F.Sup. 354.

A complaint may not be dismissed on motion if it states some
sort of claim, baseless though it may prove to be and
inartistically as the complaint may be drawn. This is particularly
true where the plaintiff is not represented by counsel. (Civil
Rights) Brooks v. Pennsylvania R. Co., 91 F.Sup. 101 (DC SD NY,
1950).

Generally, this section further protects civil
action for deprivation of rights protects constitutional rights
from invasion by persons acting under state or federal authority.
(Civil Rights) Weise v. Reisner, DC Wis. 1970, 318 F.Sup. 580,
quoted from U.S.C.A. 1972 pocketpart, P. 40 Title 42, Sec. 1983,
Note Paragraph 8.

"Government immunity violates the common law maxim that
everyone shall have a remedy for an injury done to his person or
property." (Civil Rights) (Firemens Ins Co of Newark, N.J. vs
Washington County. 2 Wisc 2d 214; 85 N.W.2d 840 1957.)

"Employees of a city or state are not immune from suit under
statute relating civil rights for deprivations of rights on ground
that officials were acting within the scope of their ground that
officials were acting within the scope of their responsibilities of
performing a discretionary act." (Bunch vs Barnett 376 F.Sup. 23.)
