You're right except I don't think this dude was looking for attention. I've seen these people around the courts. People with hundreds of civil lawsuits. People filing lawsuits with a straight face for trillions of dollars. I don't think this dude has a lawyer, these types are usually pro se.
When you sit there reading the law over and over it's like when you read a word over and over, and you might start to think it means something other than what it does. I think this dude is detached from reality to begin with when he reads these statutes and constitutions and whatnot, and then just strings a bunch of nonsense together. It's like one of those people who think a group of people is following them and controlling their lives, and this dude just latched onto filing legal papers as an outlet for his crazy.
I agree though, where there's a will, there's lawyer who will draft the papers. I will argue that the other lawyer's socks clash with his tie if that's what you want and you pay my hourly rate.
In that case, I'm impressed he figured out how to manage a filing that made it all the way to the top court. Pro se cases get tossed in droves, simply because of the bureaucratic hurdles.
