“You’re beyond help.”

You and the armchair lawyers around here who have no idea what they’re talking about do nothing but hurt the conservative cause by spewing random nonsense like this.

There is a PROCEDURE that MUST be followed for the supreme court to take an appeal of a case. Those procedures are codified in federal law and the Supreme Court rules of procedure. The court will NEVER take a case from a state court except the state’s supreme court (see the statute previously posted, 28 U.S.C. § 1257) and will only take a case from a federal court before a decision of a circuit court of appeals in extraordinarily rare circumstances (Supreme Court rules 11 and 18).

Period, full stop, end of story. Please learn just a LITTLE bit maybe before commenting random crap like this.

I can give you an example of a 2022/2023 Colorado case where a state supreme court denied a petition for review and the US Supreme court took the case from the lower court.
