I am Bryan J. Brown, founder and executive director of the ArchAngel Institute, an Indiana nonprofit corporation. 

I am currently suing the Indiana Judges and Lawyers Assistance Program (JLAP), Terri Harrell, Tim Sudrovech, Elizabeth Bowman and Stephen Ross in federal district court for allegedly violating my constitutional rights by conspiring against my admission to the Indiana bar.  That case was filed on December 8, 2009.  Here’s some background on it; other posts at the category Brown v. Bowman further explain it.

I have also filed a petition for review with the United States Supreme Court appealing the State of Indiana’s denial of my right (yes, it is a right) to practice law in Indiana.  Indiana Supreme Court Chief Judge Randall Shepard upheld a thirty page order that followed my June 1, 2009 hearing.  That order was written by someone who deemed it best not to sign their name, probably because the order contained no legal analysis and flew in the face of Supreme Court precedent on how bar applicants are to be processed.  Charlotte Westerhauswas appoited Grand Inquisitor on my case.  Indiana Supreme Court-affiliated attorney Charles Kidd and others aided her in this work of legal fiction.  Posts gathered at Brown v. Board explain this state court appeal.  The entire argument will be posted at this site in the weeks to come.  It is now pending before the SCOTUS.  Here is the question presented.

The Indiana decision can be explained only as a the result of discrimination against a human rights activist by the Defendants in the Brown v. Bowman case.  That discrimination was the alleged conspiracy.

Here is some background on why I was the target of such a conspiracy:

In 1979, at the age of 20, I gave my life to Jesus Christ and attended Whatever Happened to the Human Race in Indianapolis where Dr. Francis Schaefferand C. Everett Koop. M.D. challenged me to be an activist for justice and human life.  I took up that challenge and have stayed the course ever since.

Ten years later, after it was clear that the pro-life movement was stagnating and political solutions alone were not going to end the scourge of abortion on demand I became involved in the budding Rescue Movement.

In 1990 Susan Hill, one of the foremost and most litigious agents of the culture of death in America, sued me out of economic existence from her flagship abortion clinic located in my home town at 827 Webster Street, Fort Wayne, Indiana.  She was joined in that suit by abortionist George Klopfer.

I left the Fort for Wichita, where I took a managerial role (unpaid) in the siege of late, late term abortionist George Tiller for two years.  Our activism helped the University of Kansas and HCA Wesley Hospital see the benefit of shutting down a longstanding abortionist training program ran out of Wichita.  This contributed to the nationwide drop in the supply of young abortionists. 

I was arrested more than a few times for loitering or trespass while attempting to intercede on behalf of pre-born children in the years before I became an attorney.  My most controversial arrest involved someone at the other end of the spectrum, however.  I peacefully but vocally interrupted the Wichita Police Department as they roughly arrested an 83 year old Irish Catholic great grandmother who was peacefully standing on a dentist’s parking lot adjacent to an abortion clinic with an “abortion kills children” sign.

She was later exonerated.   My arrest for attempting to tell the police that they were making a big mistake caused me to stand before federal judge Patrick Kelly. (Renowned for his biased Nightline appearance.)  He was determined to “break me” for my beliefs regarding the Higher Laws doctrine and after a one hour in chambers discussion of the historic Christian teaching that God’s law is over man’s law this federal judge ordered me imprisoned until I would pledge unreserved obedience to his fatally overbroad and unconstitutional injunction protecting Wichita’s merchant of death. 

I stood on conscience and after 68 days the federal government backed down and set me free without an oath of absolute obedience.  That was 1992.  Seventeen years later it is this stand on conscience and Christian teaching that ostensibly resulted in my denial of licensure in Indiana.   (The civil contempt was later vacated by same court that issued the order  — but that does not matter to the Indiana authorties, who claim to be advancing the highest interests of respect for the law in denying me a license in a law-free final order!)

After two years on the Wichita front I left for Regent University School of Law.  Three years later I was representing pro-life and pro-family activists for the American Family Association’s Center for Law & Policy.  I took on the culture of death and political correctness for Brother Don Wildmon for six years in that position, winning more than a few federal appellate cases.  The most important of these cases was probably Dr. David Saxe  v. State College School District  – often listed as one of Justice Sam Alito’s most important decisions while he was yet on the Third Circuit Court of Appeals.  It struck down the leading Hate Speech code in the nation (at that time) and dealt the forces of political correctness a harsh blow.

All in the p.c. movement felt its reverberations.  Even Kevin Jennings.

In 2003 I was deputized by the State of Kansas to ride with Attorney General Phill Kline as chief of his Consumer Protection and Antitrust Division.   The Culture of Death called for my immediate termination from that high governmental post and their hate was echoed in the Kansas City Star and Wichita Eagle.  Four years later I was the focus of the politics of personal destruction as the Left spent a reported $250,000 on a television ad painting me as a common criminal for my pro-life activism and resulting arrests.

I had been admitted to the Kansas bar in 1996, had passed character and fitness review in Montana in 1996 and in Missouri in 2006.  I had been admitted to the bar of the Supreme Court of the United States in 2001 and passed character and fitness review after the professional scrutiny of the National Board of Law Examiners in 2005.

Yet when I applied for a law license in Indiana in April, 2007, a process that should have taken six months at the most dragged on for 31 months.  I tendered more than 70 uncontroverted witness statements as to my good moral character and fitness, including statements from an Auxiliary Bishop of the Roman Catholic Church, two former attorneys general of Kansas, and many other nationally recognized persons. This process was dragged out for 23 months and finally ended (round one) with a February, 2009 vaguely worded decision that I lacked what it took to be certified as of good moral character and mental fitness in Indiana.

That order referenced no facts and contained no law.

I asked for a hearing and one was set for June 1, 2009.  (round two)

Over the next few days some of that hearing transcript will be posted for all to see the focus of the Indiana Board of Law Inquisitors.  Meet the Inquisitors at this post.  

Read what follows and weigh the facts for yourself:  Was it my religion that bothered these Grand Inquisitors of post modernity?

Or was it just my human life activism, including returning to Fort Wayne to set up the ArchAngel Institute in the very former abortion clinic that sued me out of existence two decades earlier — and reopening that judgment and prevailing some 20 years later?   (Click here for more on that historic victory)

The Left has many, many reasons to hate me.  But that hatred is not supposed to keep me out of the State bar.  It has.  Stayed tuned for proof.

Aux. Bishop James Conley has known me (Bryan) since 1991.  He is one of my spiritual advisers and has been for 18 years now.  He explains our shared background in this clip which he prepared for our December 8 banquet, before he knew for certain that the federal litigation would be filed.  He prepared a similar — actually even  more glowing — recommendation as to my good moral character and fitness and sent it to the Indiana Board of Law Examiners last June.  They ignored it.

I post this now because I am pretty certain that the same conspirators who focused their collectivist efforts to deny me entrance into the Indiana bar are now plotting to destroy me for daring to set forth their “official” deeds in the federal court pleadings.  (Read the complaint.)

More  revelations and fireworks to follow, so stay tuned  . . .

THESE ARE THE PLEADINGS FILED AGAINST THE MENTAL HEALTH INQUISITION THAT PRONOUNCED ME A HERETIC (FROM MODERNITY).  IT WAS FILED IN FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT DECEMBER 8, 2009.

NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH THE APPEAL FROM MY BURNING AT THE STAKE AS ORDERED BY THE ACTUAL BOARD OF BAR INQUISITORS AFTER THE INQUISITION LABELED ME MENTALLY ILL FOR TAKING MY CHRISTIAN FAITH TOO SERIOUSLY.  THAT ARGUMENT IS SET FORTH IN MY APPEAL TO THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT (Petition for Certiorari) FILED ON MARTY GRAS, 2010.  

SO HERE IS THE COMPLAINT AGAINST THE MENTAL HEALTH INQUISITION . . .

http://www.scribd.com/doc/23961843/Brown-v-Bowman-complaint-12-09

(See Exhibit B is you wonder if Brown really is sane enough to be a lawyer.  (Insert joke here))

I have learned a valuable lesson through my processing, denial and effective seven year ban from the practice of law.  (Explanation:  After 10 years of successful lawyering — no disciplinary action taken against me — I have been denied entrance into the Indiana bar and told to not even ask again until 2014 — a full seven years after my initial application.)

The Board of Law Examiners released a 30 page ruling excoriating me for, among other modernist “sins” (more to follow) daring to take issue with Dr. Stephen Ross — a state-assigned psychologist who subjected me to a post modern inquisition using, among other devices of subjectivist intrigue, the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Index II. 

I became even more the enemy when I pointed out that Dr. Elizabeth Bowman, the government-assigned psychiatrist,  shows signs of being an anti-Catholic bigot and has certainly authored articles and seminar materials against “the patriarchy” including this one arguing that persons of my faith expression belonged, er, shall we say “not in Heaven“  (see next to last paragraph) and appearing in a documentary where she charges that Catholic priests fabricated exorcism testimony.

WHO WAS IT THAT STEELED ME TO BE SO DARN HARD ON GOVERNMENT BUREACRATS????  (more…)

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. Never again can we afford to live with the narrow, provincial “outside agitator” idea. Anyone who lives inside the United States can never be considered an outsider anywhere within its bounds.”

Martin Luther King. Jr.  Letter from a Birmingham jail. 

Does the processing of Bryan J. Brown’s file through the Indiana Board of Law Examiners and Indiana Supreme Court document an injustice?

Merely consider the High Court’s usual and standard custom in measuring out “justice” against bar applicants and recently admitted attorneys (who, unlike me, lied to the Bar Examiners during processing).  New attorneys (unlike me, who has beeen practicing since 1996)  while involved in indecent exposure, child molestation and even downloading kiddie porn.  Chief Justice Randall Sheperd ruled all of the cases presented herein. 

For the record, I must admit that I am a pro-life activist who was arrested a dozen times — and only convicted of misdemeanors once or twice — a full 18 years ago.  My processes through the Indiana system, as set forth in the federal complaint, focused upon my pro-life beliefs and theological perspectives – especially as it affects my view of governance.

What if Brown had used children as sex objects rather than attempting to save children from the ravenous abortion industry?

Or what if Brown had recently exposed himself in public instead of engaging in public acts of civil disobedience 18 years ago?

Or what if Brown had been caught downloading kiddie porn while in the midst of applying to become an Indiana attorney instead of writing letters urging the kommissars handing his case to respect the state and federall constitutions to which they swore an oath?

Well now, that would be a different kettle of Hoosier fish.  Read on to appreciate just how different.

Here are some of the Indiana cases that were placed before the High Court — to absolutely no avail.

We continue MLK week here at the ArchAngel Institute.  That brave man was hounded by the FBI and persecuted for his Christian ideology. Even killed for it.   Had they the ability, they surely would have handed him over to the same process to which I was subjected.  Psychologists and psychiatrists are the “clergy” of the postmodern state.  Just as the Pilgrims had their witch trials for heretics, the postmodern state has its “extremists” trials.  I was subjected to one and my legal career burned at the stake under the stern gaze of a cadre of Indiana’s high priests and priestesses of political correctness, — JLAP’s Tim Sudrovech and Terri Harrell.

Because I am openly Christian in my expression and because I refused to recant from my pro-life convictions they had me tied to the stake — all the while refusing (numerous requests) to even meet with me or look me in the eye.  (It is easier to dehumanize the intended sacrifice that way.)

It pretty much began with Dr. Stephen Ross’ report, which went so far as to offer the authorities a “rewrite” if it did not include all necessary to “process me” as they wished.   Ross bound me to the stake with the following, which was subsequently rejected as shallow and unsupportable by all of the subsequent psychologists and psychiatrists to whom I went –  even the two government affiliated professionals:

44.    [The Ross] report identified Plaintiff as a pro-life person with a traditional Christian worldview and constitutional, conservative political perspective who intended to advance the pro-life and Christian cause through the ArchAngel Institute. 

45,   In that April 23 report Dr. Ross concluded that Plaintiff “appears to have moral integrity.”

We pause this weekend to celebrate a milestone in peaceful, Christian civil disobedience.  That milestone is the life and work of MLK.  Lest anyone accuse me of being an opportunist, realize that I shared much of this at my June 1 hearing before the Board of Law Examiners, and previously on this site here and also in one of my most creative writing exercises – the one that communicated my one and only discussion with the Kansas AG who fired me as deputy attorney general and consumer chief, June, 2007 and then again on that same blog, here.  I also made use  of MLK in my own jailhouse letter to Judge Patrick Kelly (in 1991) that the Indiana authorities have recently used to deny me licensure based upon my religiously-based political ideals.  Here.

Thus I am not just trotting MLK out at this time to make some points against the Indiana Supreme Court and its minions. 

Speaking of that collection of postmodern jurists, this is from my December 8-filed federal petition:

153.  Dr. Bowman informed Plaintiff that he placed his values and morals higher than legal obligations and by so doing shared much in common with early church, including being at odds with the state.  That Plaintiff’s conservative political and Roman Catholic views were the primary focus of Dr. Bowman’s interviews are evident throughout Dr. Bowman’s final report and are used to support her conclusion that Plaintiff suffered from Personality Disorder, Not Otherwise Specified.

154,  Dr. Bowman’s report stated that:

“Like many people of faith of past millennia, he firmly believes he is obligated as a Christian to put obedience to God’s laws above human laws.”  Id.;  “He considers his [former protest activities] an integral part of his Roman Catholic Christian faith and considers his actions morally right.”  Bowman report at p.4;

155.  Upon information and belief this report influenced the final Board of Law Examiner’s final report stating that:

“He testified [as] to his obligation to disobey laws that contradicted his religious beliefs under certain circumstances. [He further] indicated that he would not obey certain court orders and judgments  that he believed to be unjust.  [It is the policy of the  Indiana court]  that a member of the Indiana bar must obey Indiana law and federal law, even when doing so violates an attorney’s conscience, and that an avowed willingness not to do so is disqualifying.”  Board report at pp.29-30.

** end of excerpts from federal complaint

It is clear from Dr. Elizabeth Bowman’s report that she strongly disliked me — as do most pro-abortion and anti-Catholic ideologues.    Still, she did seem to understand that my views were as old as Western Civilization itself and for that reason had some historic justification.  What is far more difficult to understand — and even frightening — is how three of the allegedly “top tier” attorneys in the State of Indiana  (to be named in subsequent posts), as well as seven others on the Board, as well as Indiana Supreme Court Justice Randall Shepard could NOT realize that the above paragraph flies directly in the face of the following excerpts from America’s best known jailhouse missive:

 Frank Avila (a great pro-life gentleman who took the Culture of Death’s best left hook from 827 Webster Street almost 30 years ago and got back up to fight on with zeal) took me out to lunch today.  As we dined on the 13th floor of a local window garden an old classmate of Frank’s dropped by and was  introduced. As fate would have it he was an attorney.  An elder attorney of quite some stature about the Fort, in fact.  A Democrat attorney — who had read my federal pleadings.

As soon as I said “licensed in Kansas but not Indiana” he said “you must be the one suing the State in federal court.”

His analysis:  “they really did you wrong …. they should not let politics into the admission process in this State.”

It would appear that word is getting around the legal community.  He is right on the mark.  The argument can be made that it was politics and not law that primarily caused my application to be delayed, and delayed, and delayed and then finally denied — with the order that I not even ask again until 2014.

(Now, you might wonder what adverse order would befall an attorney caught lying in the application process, or caught in indecent exposure in the same process, or caught covering up downloading kiddie porn while in the application process.   Would they get the same rough treatment as this pro-life dissident?  Stay tuned, you will be amazed!)

Here is part one in a multi-part series that will help document why my political activity in Kansas could leak over to the Indiana Board of Law Examiners’ “help” desk — if the proper constitutional bulwark (such as those protecting Marxists) were ignored.    (Click here for the beginning of a five post series on how well Marxists — unlike Christian activists (at least in Indiana) are protected through the application process.) (more…)

This post continues the series began in the previous post.  The red font is from a Midwest blogger who is attempting to discuss Kansas politics while showing some telltale signs of being an outsider.  My comments (Bryan’s) are in blue. 

Thesis:  The State of Indiana’s refusal to license me to practice law, despite my recent clearance by the National Board of Law Examiners, despite my clearance by Missouri in 2006, despite my acceptance into the bar of the United States Supreme Court in 2000, despite my approval by Montana and Kansas in 1996 and despite the fact that I have had a Kansas license since 1996 with no disciplinary action found to lie against me and despite four years as one of the most senior law enforcement officials (Deputy AG) in Kansas (2003-2007) reveals this:  INDIANA DOES NOT WANT ME — for seemingly political reasons.

Senator Sam is one of those reasons … (more…)

This post continues the series that began in the two previous posts of similar title.  The red font is from a Midwest blogger discussing Kansas politics from the perspective of the abortion industry. 

My comments (Bryan’s) are in blue

“But name recognition cuts both ways. Everyone in Kansas knows about Brownback’s hard right edge, particularly around women’s issues, and that may not be a boon in a state whose voters are rapidly wearying of abortion-related demagoguery. The last statewide politician who emphasized his radical anti-choice ideology didn’t do his political prospects any favors. Phil Kline gained notoriety for using his powers as attorney general to paw through women’s confidential abortion records in quest of some unspecified wrongdoing (the women were largely patients of Dr. Tiller). When the extent of his extremism became clear, Kline was rewarded for his bullying doggedness with a double-digit loss to a Democrat in the 2006 election cycle.”

I was on deck when ship Kline capsized.  The National Democrat party and the abortion industry poured millions of dollars into Kansas to sink Kline.  I was one of Kline’s right hand men — one of six Deputy Attorney Generals.  I had ran his Consumer Protection & Antitrust Division, overseeing 20,000 inquiries, 5000 investigations and a good 400 enforcement actions over that time period.  The Left hated me …
