Google refused to publish most generous review of Germany's Federal Constitutional *******@BVerfG
As long as you curb your enthusiasm about this august and pompous court your ROE (return on expectations) will be commensurate. Be aware, there is a 96%+ likelihood of you being one among the applicants who delusionary assume Karlsruhe might care about you. Your social status is of importance and the constitutional complaint has to fit the picture Karlsruhe would like to paint.
The reply you will get is NOT from a judge, but from a government rep. Ha, and you thought courts are independent. The file name "AR" means loosely translated "Application into Trash bin" (Antrag Rundordner).
If you receive a notice on cheap paper signed by three judges that your CC has not been accepted - and aloof as the judges are without any explanation as to why - rest assured these judges have never read your CC. It's all delegated to lower aides.
Under no circumstances should you use contentious terms such as "racist, racism, corrupt" and the like in a constitutional complaint. They are not climate-neutral or woke. Your complaint will be channelled straight into the federal dumpster.
Florian Meinel in 'The constitutional miracle on the Rhine: Towards a history of West German constitutionalism and the Federal Constitutional Court' and Michaela Hailbronner in 'Rethinking the rise of the German Constitutional Court: From anti-Nazism to value formalism' have a good take on the institution.
While perks of SCOTUS justices can be quite lavish, German CC judges are way more frugal. A fine dinner plus shoulder rubbing with the chancellor makes their day and they redeem themselves with an eloquent speech in some elite drivel. Yet pliant servants that they are, they delight to indulge in a little brief authority of sartorial excess in dashing red robes from Duchesse, a white jabot and a red barrette. "Be yourself; everyone else is already taken."
