Whether denial of a pretrial challenge to the court's subject matter jurisdiction under the Maritime Drug Enforcement Law warrants interlocutory review
QUESTIONS PRESENTED Whether denial of a pretrial challenge to the court’s subject matter jurisdiction under the Maritime Drug Enforcement Law warrants interlocutory review since citizens of foreign states, don’t have to follow United States Laws and hence are effectively immune from criminal prosecution when they have not acted in contravention to United States interests or are present therein. Whether the Maritime Drug Enforcement Law is authorized under the Define and Punish Clause as a Felony on the High Seas, as per the meaning of that term of art in the Eighteen century when it was developed to encompass a particular set of criminal acts that was incidental to piratical conduct. 2
