Correct me if I’m wrong but I see a mindest that is saying that this case is ultimately destined for the SCOTUS, and that very well may be.
However, our side has already won the case and is now the headed to the appellate court. Doesn’t forgoing the appeals court take away one more chance for another favorable ruling on the issue? Another win in the appeals court and the SCOTUS won’t even have to hear the case if they don’t want to and just uphold the previous rulings. At least if we lost in the appeals court we’d have one more chance to win with the SCOTUS. If for some reason we lose going directly to SCOTUS, that’s it, game over.
Don't forget - the United States House of Representatives just repealed the entire Commiecare™ law. It' ain't over by a long shot.

Yes, but the 4th circuit appellate court’s decision would apply only to the 4th circuit. So if we win in the 4th circuit, good for those in the fourth circuit,but nobody else. Likewise, if we lose, only would apply to the 4th circuit. Either way, the Supreme Court will probably take the case, since other district court’s have upheld the law.
