McSkunkville,America

Home of the Honorable Judge Brett David McSkunk, the courts where citizens argue out loud, the college at law, and — for the bold — the casino. A whole town built on one creed: make a record.

Visitors register with the Clerk at the town gate — we know everyone in our town
Decided June 18, 2026 · U.S. Supreme Court · 8–1

A miscarriage of justice is now a standard.

For sixty years, a signature on a plea deal could bury an injustice forever — "knowing and voluntary" was the magic phrase that slammed the courthouse door. In Hunter v. United States, the Court held 8–1 that a waiver cannot be enforced when it would leave in place an egregious error that brings the judicial system into disrepute. The door the system counted on staying shut just came off its hinges.

What Hunter actually says

No plea or appeal waiver survives when enforcing it would work a miscarriage of justice — an obvious, egregious error that destroys public confidence in the courts. Ordinary guideline squabbles don't count. Outrageous ones do.

Why it changes everything

Prosecutors built their power on finality — get the signature, make the case unreviewable. Hunter says the integrity of the system outranks the deal. That is the relief avenue America has needed for over half a century.

Hunter v. United States, No. 24-1063 (June 18, 2026), is a decision on federal appellate waivers. Its principle — that a waiver cannot shield an egregious injustice — is the lever this platform teaches you to pull. Educational commentary, not legal advice. Verify scope and procedure in your jurisdiction before filing.

The Doctrine of Right Versus Wrong

Promulgated by David Bruce McDermott II · Dedicated to the Hon. Judge Jim Huber

II.

Justice is not a side. The only client is the correct result.

III.

No credential is required to tell the truth.

IV.

Candor is the price of the podium.

VI.

Power answers to paper — in the open, by lawful process.

Designed Not To Fail

The machine of all machines.
The lawyer of all lawyers.
The researcher of all researchers.

"You flat out trusted the machine, and the machine put you in a bad spot."— every judge, to over 120 sanctioned lawyers since 2023

This machine was engineered so that sentence can never be said about you. It refuses to invent authority, audits every citation it writes, and always closes with the order any great lawyer gives: turn around, make it happen, double-check it.

It refuses to lie

Hard-coded: no invented cases, quotes, or holdings. Uncertain? It writes [CITE — VERIFY] instead of guessing.

It audits itself

Every document is swept automatically — each citation matched against 200+ hand-verified authorities and flagged in plain English.

It orders the double-check

The final check is you. The machine never asks for blind trust — it hands you the receipts and tells you to verify.

First Amendment Retaliation

Are you being prosecuted for reporting a cop's misconduct?

Retaliating against you for protected speech — your reports, your posts, your complaints — is a federal civil-rights violation. A prosecution built to punish or silence you can be challenged under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for First Amendment retaliation and, where a case ends without conviction, Fourth Amendment malicious prosecution under Thompson v. Clark, 596 U.S. 36 (2022).

Speak

You reported or criticized police conduct — protected speech.

Retaliation

They answered with a charge, an arrest, or a bogus case.

Remedy

§ 1983 lets you sue and seek damages, fees, and an injunction.

Self-help legal information, not legal advice. If you are facing active criminal charges, also consult a licensed criminal-defense attorney.
