RULES
OF THE U.S. SUPREME COURT:
PART III. JURISDICTION
ON WRIT OF CERTIORARI
Rule
10. Considerations Governing Review on Certiorari
"Review on a writ of certiorari is not a matter
of right, but of judicial discretion. A petition for a writ of certiorari
will be granted only for compelling reasons. The following, although neither
controlling nor fully measuring the Court’s discretion, indicate the
character of the reasons the Court considers:
...
(c) a state court...has decided an
important question of federal law that has not been, but should be, settled
by this Court, or has decided an important federal question in a way that
conficts with relevant decisions of this Court."
Rule 13. Review on Certiorari: Time for
Petitioning
"1. Unless otherwise provided by law, a petition
for a writ of certiorari to review a judgment in any case, civil or
criminal, entered by a state court of last resort...is timely when it is
fled with the Clerk of this Court within 90 days after entry of the
judgment. A petition for a writ of certiorari seeking review of a judgment
of a lower state court that is subject to discretionary review by the state
court of last resort is timely when it is fled with the Clerk within 90 days
after entry of the order denying discretionary review."

28 U.S. Code §1257.
State courts; certiorari
"(a)
Final judgments or decrees rendered by the highest
court of a State in which a decision could be had, may
be reviewed by the Supreme Court by writ of certiorari where...the
validity of a statute of any State is drawn in question on the ground of
its being repugnant to the Constitution, treaties, or laws of the United
States, or where any title, right, privilege, or immunity is specially
set up or claimed under the Constitution or the treaties or statutes of,
or any commission held or authority exercised under, the United States."

"On every question of the construction
of the Constitution, let us carry ourselves back to the time when the
Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the
debates, and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the
text, or invented against it, conform to the probable one in which it
was passed."
Thomas Jefferson (1823 letter to William
Johnson, Supreme Court Justice)

History, Meaning, Effect and Significance of the Right to Petition
Government for Redress of Grievances"
