“Step one. Next comes an appelate panel. Then the entire appelate court. Then the Supremes.”
I thought this court was the “rocket docket” which went straight to the Supremes on appeal due to D.C. being in its area.
Legal eagles correct me if I’m wrong.
No, it’s called the “rocket docket”, because that court reaches its decisions quickly. It is possible that the suit could be heard next at SCOTUS, but it’s more likely to go through the 4th court of appeals first.
