Question juridique clé
Whether a constitutional complaint must first exhaust the cantonal remedies before the Federal Supreme Court may be seized.
Solution extraite
No. No constitutional or statutory rule required exhaustion of the cantonal instance before the Federal Supreme Court could hear the complaint.
Motifs extraits
The court referred to its earlier case law and held that the Federal Supreme Court, as state court, may be directly seized for constitutional complaints; the district court's contrary view wrongly treated the federal decision as dependent on unexhausted appeal rights.
