Both Thompson and Carreon (FJ's lawyer) appear to be delusional about the merits of the causes they're putting in front of the court.
But Thompson also appears to be delusional about reality and his role in it: he submitted repeated filings to the court that were laden with cartoons, images, pictures of people he believed were persecuting him, and tirades against the court itself. He did that after being repeatedly warned by the court not to deliver more filings. He did that while one of his previous filings was currently being considered; instead of waiting for a response for the court, he continued to send them additional filings. Here, I'll just let the Florida Supreme Court describe it:
Thompson has submitted over fifty filings directly with this Court, all of
which have either been forwarded to the referee, dismissed, or denied.
Additionally, Thompson’s most recent filings are repetitive, frivolous, and, like his
earlier ones, insulting to the Court. One of Thompson’s recent filings contains
what Thompson refers to as a “children’s picture book for adults” that rehashes his
previous arguments in illustrated form which he states was necessary due to “the
Court’s inability to comprehend” his arguments. Between the text of the motion,
Thompson pasted images depicting swastikas, kangaroos in court, a reproduced
dollar bill, cartoon squirrels, Paul Simon, Paul Newman, Ray Charles, a handprint
with the word "SLAP!" written under it, Bar Governor Benedict P. Kuehne, a
baby, Ed Bradley, Jack Nicholson, Justice Clarence Thomas, Julius Caesar, keys,
and a house of cards, and the motion concludes with a photograph of the
cover of Thompson’s book, Out of Harm's Way.
Thompson therefore appears to have engaged in the legal equivalent of setting himself on fire in front of the building. Carreon is apparently abusing the California legal system, but he's doing it (to date) like a sniper, not like an suicidal schizophrenic street prophet.
