    Post: Petition Clause

    Posted by Jefferson, jdarel61@yahoo.com, on 5/08/02


    As I understand it, the text of the U. S. Constitution is
    the primary and controlling,"supreme law of the land", with
    the acts of Congress being the supreme law of the land as
    long as they do not violate the Constitution itself. Here
    is my question with some pertanant history; I had a case
    which was developed by my attorney and filed in the
    appropriate U.S. District Court. My attorney failed to make
    a prima facie case and the defendant won. We appealed to
    the U.S. Court of Appeals. When this Court looked at my
    case they pointed out that my attorney had failed to
    address my civil rights and disability claims so the Court
    dismissed those issues as abandoned. However my attorney
    only persuded a tort of Intentional Infliction of Emotional
    Dristress which the Circuit Court dismissed and gave
    summary judgment for the defendant as a matter of law. We
    tried to get a writ of certeroire from the U.S. Supreme
    Court, but failed. I have recently found out that law
    clerks sift through the cases an decide which ones get to
    go forward to the Supreme Court. If this is true,"what an
    injustice to the citizens of this country". At a later date
    I began to read the U.S.Constitution and found I had the
    right to petition the Government-Supreme Court-for a
    redress of grievances. I wrote a petition to each judge of
    the Supreme Court and mailed it certified mail. Several
    weeks later one of the petitions was returned to me along
    with a letter from the Supreme Court Clerk-Mr.Suter-
    outlining to me the Court's authority under Article III of
    the Constitution. He said the Court did not answer legal
    questions or give legal advise; However if the clerk could
    understand English, I did not ask for legal advise or
    answers to legal questions. All I wanted was redress to
    possible violations of my Constitutional rights under the
    Seventh and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S.Constitution.
    Please advise ASAP?

    P.S. I have other legal issues I would like to share but
    will weight until a later time.

    Sincerely:Jefferson
