Question presented

The primary federal question that I ask is: Since the inception of the United States Supreme Court led by Chief Justice John Jay, there has never been a Writ of Certiorari where the respondent fails to appoint counsel and the defendant's peaceful legal proceedings goes uncontested, unanswered and unchallenged by ignoring the seven prior attempts to contact their worldwide embassies and their extradition office, isn't this an admission of Switzerland's guilt in the heinous and despicable international act of a chemical weapon attack on a citizen of the USA (18 U.S.C. § 229 Section C3), where there are no previous cases and shouldn't the United States Supreme Court punish this unacceptable act of international terrorism by enforcing the paltry lien of US$440 million (tax-free) for the plaintiff-victim and US$330 million for American Federal Taxes on Swiss Assets here in the United States?
