William H. Rehnquist Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court of the United States 1 First Street, N. E. Washington, DC 20543 Re: In Re Daniel B. Jeffs No. 98-8918 Honorable Chief Justice Rehnquist: My petition for an extraordinary writ of prohibition against the two-party system, which dominates the federal election process, government and the government process by requiring membership in either the Democratic Party or Republican Party, and thereby, unconstitutionally adds qualifications to hold the offices of President, Senator and Representative, and which was unopposed by Counsel of Record Solicitor General Seth Waxman representing the United States Government, was denied by the Court on May 24, 1999 without providing me with a reason for the Court's decision. The petition was docketed on April 13, 1999. Solicitor General Seth Waxman was notified that the petition was docketed on April 19, 1999. The due date for a brief in opposition was May 13, 1999. Mr. Waxman waived filing a response to the petition, unless ordered to do so by the Court, on April 29, 1999. I then received the following from the Court Clerk dated May 24, 1999: The Court today entered the following order in the above entitled case: The petition for a writ of prohibition is denied. S/ William K. Suter (Signature stamp) William K. Suter, Clerk Mr. Chief Justice, I am at a loss as to how the Court could deny my unopposed petition, without, at least, providing me with the reason(s) for doing so, and precisely whose decision it was to deny my petition. I realize the magnitude of what is sought in the petition, and that it would take extraordinary courage by the Court to grant it. The weight of evidence in favor of granting the petition is historical, clear and overwhelming. Therefore, I pray that the Court will reconsider my petition for the writ of prohibition. Respectfully submitted, Daniel B. Jeffs, Petitioner
