Earlier in this thread, somewhere, a poster mentioned that military courts are FEDERAL and that yes, it can go to SCOTUS.

I hope that was accurate information.

You are correct. Decisions made by 'The US Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces' may be reviewed by the US Supreme Court when the the Supreme Court issues a written order for the lower court to forward the case.

Yes, but only if the US Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces first decides to hear the case; they don't have to. If the US Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces refuses to hear the case, there can be no further petition to SCOTUS.
