Uhhh... The Supreme Court reads all appellate briefs on cases which they are considering

Good God.....

Not unless they have granted a writ of Certiori and the appellate court has made a ruling. Give up.

If you want to communicate to the SCOTUS, the appellate brief is a certain way to be read.

Yeah...if the court rules against you and the Supreme Court agrees to hear the appeal. Otherwise there is no "informing" of the Supreme Court about anything at all.

"Yeah...if the court rules against you and the Supreme Court agrees to hear the appeal."

Precisely. As I said (contrary to your above rants), the Supreme Court WILL read those appellate briefs.

And that's just where Olson/Ashcroft placed Bush's "individual rights" message to the SCOTUS.
