BACKROUND: April 24 1996, Bill Clinton signed " The Anti terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act"(AEDPA).
(PREAMBLE) This act purportedly calls for an effective death penalty. What is meant by effective death penalty? 
The effective death penalty is inclusive of the judicial abuse of the writ doctrine restricted to the presentation of new claims through subsequent habeas petitions. Title I of the act substantially amends the federal habeas corpus law as it applies to both state and federal prisioners weather on death row or imprisioned for a term of years by providing examples of the detraments of this act. 1. a bar on federal habeas reconsideration of legal and factual issues ruled upon by state courts in most instances; 2. a creation of a general 1year statue of limitations; 3. a creation of a 6month statue of limitation in death penalty cases; 4. encouragement for states to appoint counsel for indigent state death row inmates during state habeas or unitary appellate proceedings; and a requirement of appelate court approval for repetitious habeas petitions.

It was orchestrated by the F.B.I. and Jacob York, Dr.York's "son". Dr York [misnomer Dwight York] has been sentenced to 135yrs, despite the recantations of several witnesses, who profess that there was an obvious conspiracy to imprision H.E. Malachi York, [misnomer Dwight York] under false pretense.
On November 21, Philadelphia Judge Pamela Dembe rejected death row political prisioner Mumia Abu-Jamal's appeal and consequently Judge Yohn followed suit with the same mode of action. Judge Yohn had ruled that Beverly's confession of the murder of officer Faulkner was inadmissible by using Bill Clinton's, " Anti terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act As A Reference". This act was signed into law in 1996. This act, among other things, sets a time limit of one year for death row inmates to present new evidence.
Basically, there is a time limit or statue of limitations when it comes to proving your innocence. It is a matter of hearsay versus the time to disprove the rumors. Judge Yohn of the Supreme Court, Also cited the super controversal and desreputable1993 Herrera decision that proof of innocence will not necessarily stop a death sentence from being carried out! Judge Yohn much like Judge Sabo was ruling out proof of Mumia's innocence. We should thereby, challenge the (EDPA) constitutionality of the Anti terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act on separation of powers grounds, under the city of Boerne vs. Flores and Marbury vs.Madison. We beseech you to join us, and lets work together to get rid of this unconstitutional act.
We the undersigned, call on the US congress, and Attorney General, Andrew M. Como, to eliminate "The Anti terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act 1996 Pub. L. No.104-132, 110 stat. 1214. This ordinance is a violation of the 14th amendment constitutional right to not be deprived the right to life, and liberty.
