UPDATE: Plaintiffs will take this to the U.S. Supreme Court, and may ask for revision of the Insular Cases along with it.

The "fact" that the Plaintiffs will "take this case to the Supreme Court" is not particularly important. The Supreme Court takes about 0.5% (that's one in 200) of the cases offered to it for review. Since election law is my narrow specialty, I've seen a lot of these cases. I don't think the Court will touch this case with an 11-foot barge pole. Which means the First Circuit decision will stand as rendered.
