The Supreme Court of the United States upheld the lower court decisions . . .

Uh, no...The Supreme Court refused to hear the case due to lack of jurisdicition. The Congress merely assigned jurisdiction to the federal courts, which is their Constitutional right.

If this simple and clear explanation is accurate, it goes a long way to helping me understand and get a handle on this. My biggest problem remains... why didn't make it to SCOTUS before this? Given the peculiar circumstances involving the history and proceedings of this case, given the action of the FL legislature and the subsequent rulings by this judge, correct me if I'm wrong, but this case should have gone to SCOTUS.
