Iowa woman challenges State’s “sovereign immunity” defense as unconstitutional
by Sondra Wilson. Posted 8/8/2024.
Latest Filings:
After originally filing a petition to commence the suit on February 8, on July 23 I filed this much more in-depth Amended Petition. On July 26 the State filed a this motion to dismiss, and on August 5 I filed this resistance. The next public hearing is in courtroom 310 on Friday, August 9 at the Polk County Historic Courthouse. This suit is both “at law and at equity”; in other words, I am seeking both money damages and “reasonable demands” (in the form of injunctions) as redress. The First Amendment of the US Constitution guarantees “The right of The People to Peaceably to Assemble… and to Petition the Government for a Redress of Grievances.” Thank you, Veterans and Officers, for our safety and for protecting our First Amendment rights and our Fifth Amendment right to due process!!
On pages 30-35 I challenged the State’s defense of “sovereign immunity” as unconstitutional. The doctrine of sovereign immunity was contrived by King Edward I and is not mentioned in the constitution. It derives from the concept that “the king can do no wrong”, and its use has no place here on American shores. I quoted Thomas Jefferson, John Locke, and Alexander Hamilton in my rebuke, as their words prove unequivocally that the defense of “sovereign immunity” violates the core tenets of our government structure. Although some scholars point to the 11th Amendment as justification for sovereign immunity, there is no wording within the Amendment which supports this claim. The 11th Amendment has to do with Citizens of one state suing another state.
Here are some excerpts wherein I challenged their defense:
The various parts of the lawsuit:
i.Class Action for Transgender Iowans launched against the State and Kim Reynolds – for rights violations and defamation against the State, and for defamation and unjust enrichment against Kim Reynolds’ campaign committee for earning more than $2.5 million dollars while using defamation and promises of rights violations against transgender Iowans to do so!
iii. Wilson alleges local officials caused her to remain homeless for 8 years

“I hope I’m helping to interrupt the other terrible agenda from that alternate timeline some people have been trying to make happen! In fact I hope that other timeline just doesn’t exist at all anymore. Screw that timeline! All Iowans need this lawsuit whether they realize it or not! United We Stand!” – Sondra, with related GIF I totally feel:
