How a case gets to the US Supreme Court

[@alexporter1315]

Speeding ticket to the Supreme Court? Wow

[@geraldgrenier8132]

Well there could be reasons, like they were ticketed on private land or native land, the judge or the appeals judge might issue an option that has issues national on jurisdiction. But most of this is settled law, if the Trial judge did something... interesting, it would more that likely the circuit court would correct it and the supreme court would not choose to hear it.

[@BOSSNASSTY123]

5 seconds later they were showing a guy being held in a bamboo cage... so how serious is this bit really supposed to be?

[@RaymondHng]

That bamboo cage clip was from a sitcom from 1964, _Gilligan's Island_ about the comic adventures of seven castaways as they attempted to survive the island on which they had been shipwrecked.

[@BOSSNASSTY123]

+RaymondHng If you're so smart, then why could the professor make a coconut radio but he couldn't design a damn boat to get them off the island?

[@RaymondHng]

Where did say I was smart? I did not write or produce this sitcom. I'm only telling you what I know from memory of a television sitcom that I have not watched since the '60s. You are attacking the messenger. Despite their obvious skill and inventiveness, the castaways never quite manage to put together a functional raft out of bamboo (or repair the holes in the Minnow, though the entire ship fell apart in the eighth episode). In the television movie _Rescue from Gilligan's Island_, the castaways tie all their huts together and use that as a raft for escape.

[@noamemerson-fleming285]

ThatOneStrangeGuyAng Yes, exactly.

[@superdjaction]

ThatOneStrangeGuyAng yeah but they don’t enforce it.

[@stoffer6365]

Yes, because you are under the jurisdiction of both the federal government and your state government (EDIT: plus your local governments, such as county, and city unless you live in an unincorporated area). The reason California and many other states are able to legalize marijuana is that they can repeal their own state laws banning marijuana. But even in states that have legalized marijuana, it is still illegal because federal laws apply. In the case the video talks about, that woman was using medical marijuana and believed she was doing nothing wrong because California had legalized marijuana for medical use. But it was still illegal at the federal level, so she was technically breaking the law, and the Supreme Court ruled that it was okay for the police to destroy the marijuana they had seized from her.

[@Bergen98]

Yeah, but I think only if you start selling it for example, our move across state line (I am not American, just guessing)

[@rickmunoz5087]

There is another path to the Supreme Court: by appeal from a final state court decision in which a federal constitutional issue was part of the state court's rationale. Famous cases like this include Miranda v Arizona, in which Ernesto Miranda appealed his criminal conviction in Arizona state court -- not federal lower courts -- to the Supreme Court. Finally, it's not true that all cases are discretionary. The Court has original jurisdiction -- meaning the cases are heard by right, at the beginning by the Supreme Court and not a lower state or federal court -- in certain circumstances. These are described in Art. III, Sec. 2, of the Constitution and include controversies between the United States and a state, between two or more states, and "cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls..." But this doesn't mean the nine justices preside over a trial. The Court typically appoint a "Special Master," to hear evidence and conduct proceedings, and this Special Master will then file a report, which the Court can choose to accept in whole or in part.

Technically you've gotten 2 fair trials before even appealing to the court. The SCOTUS is used nearly exclusively to clarify the constitution in cases that could set either dangerous or important precedent to the country.

You need to qualify for an appeal first, and then your appeal case must...appeal to the justices x) But if it is worth their time and effort, they will most likely hear it. They are passionated professionnals. If your case raises essential constitutionnal questions, you are likely to be heard.
