In what way could the US Supreme Court become involved in this process? I am not very familiar with with how cases come to be before the court and what avenues there are to speed the process.

Each circuit is assigned a justice as a supervisory authority over the US District Courts. I think we have nine districts with nine justices assigned. I believe Robert's is over the Eastern District.

Those districts judges (courts) report to not only the DOJ, but are under the control of the USSC justice assigned and the other justices in consult.
