  1. There are very few cases where the Supreme Court has original jurisdiction and in some of those, jurisdiction is now concurrent with district courts by statute.  In other words, you can file a motion in district court to suggest that original jurisdiction is in the Supreme Court and ONLY in the Supreme Court, but I'm betting you will not be successfull.  The Supreme Court is only likely to hear this case on a petition for writ of certiorari after an Appeals Court considers it.


  2. An incarcerated consul General who doesn't know how to manage the courts system and turns to yahoo answers instead of a lawyer?

    Excuse my skepticism... It may be showing a little.

  3. You'd better contact the US State Department protocol office, as well as the Consul General's foreign ministry.
