What does “soon after” mean for the USSC? Are we talking about a few months or a few years? Does a case need to go through a bunch of appeals from lower courts and spend many millions first?
Short answer: Probably years and millions.
Under article three, section two of the Constitution, the U.S. Supreme Court has “original jurisdiction” only in “Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party.” Mostly, they only decide cases that have already been through at least two levels of federal courts, and maybe some state courts before that.
