Abrams v. Isolda — U.S. Supreme Court Docket No. 25-6394

Challenging Absolute Immunity & Restoring Due Process

This petition asked the U.S. Supreme Court whether the Constitution permits a judicial system to operate with total impunity. It challenged the unconstitutional evolution of "Absolute Immunity" — a judge-made doctrine that has devolved from protecting the act of judging into a weapon shielding bad-faith misconduct, retaliation, and the denial of due process.

While the Court ultimately declined to grant review, the petition remains a public record of the questions presented and the path taken through the state courts. The docket, filings, and outcome are presented here so readers can inspect the source material for themselves.
