A central function of the USSC is to resolve conflicts in judicial decisions that appear in federal judicial districts. If any of this gets appealed to a federal district court and there is a conflict with decisions at that level, I think the USSC would be very willing to step into it.Under something called the Rooker-Feldman doctrine, a civil case that was heard in a state court cannot be appealed to any federal court but the Supreme Court. So this decision is final unless the Supreme Court agrees to grant certiorari.
