Question Presented (from Petition)

1. Whether the D.C. Court of Appeals has sanc
tioned a "lack of jurisdiction " decision by the District
Court that has so far departed from the Constitution
and the accepted and usual course of judicial proceed
ings as to call for an exercise of this court 's supervisory
power.

2. Whether the D.C. Court of Appeals has de
cided an important question of federal law that has not
been, but should be, settled by this court - that is,
whether congress can displace the power committed by
the U.S. Constitution to the State Legislatures to de
termine how votes of Presidential Electors are to be
obtained.

3. Whether the D.C. Court of Appeals has de
cided yet another important question of federal law
that has not been, but should be settled by this court -
that is, whether government officials are obligated to
respond to a proper First Amendment Petition by a pri
vate citizen for redress of their violation of a mandate
set forth in the U.S. Constitution.
