2. Anthony, who is an enthusiastic graduate student actively involved in various political issues, says that he is fed up with the way a certain employer in his town treats employees and that he is going to sue that employer in an effort to improve matters. Anthony also says that he is going to start his case at the appellate court level, skipping over all those "lesser" judges. Anthony says that those justices will surely hear him out and that he will also seek a jury. Although he is not a lawyer, Anthony believes that the offenses of the employer are so severe that the justices will appreciate his attempt to make things better for the employees involved.

b) Yes, so long as he gets permission slips from them.

c) Yes, so long as he gives any money he receives to them.

d) No, because he lacks standing.

e) No, because venue is lacking.
