Questions presented

  1. Whether the adverse judgment of a state court denying a federal statutory claim on the merits supplies Article III injury sufficient for review under 28 U. S. C. § 1257(a), or whether—as ASARCO ’s dictum would have it, and contrary to the historical understanding and practice underlying this Court’s appellate review of state-court judgments—this Court’s jurisdiction over state-court constructions of federal law runs in one direction only: reviewable when a state court vindicates a federal right, but not when it denies one.

  2. Whether a debt collector violates 15 U. S. C. § 1692c(b) by transmitting a consumer’s personal financial information to a third-party vendor for use in preparing, analyzing and mailing a collection letter, including whether that transmission constitutes a communication “in connection with the collection of any debt.”
