Re: The appellate process While it is true that the DoJ and Judge Jackson can request that any appeal go directly to the Supreme Court, the Supreme Court is under no obligation to accept such an expedited process and can remand the case back to the Appellate level or accept it for direct consideration at their sole discretion. Given the gravity of the case and the conservative nature of the judicial system, my guess is that the Supreme Court would wish to see due process given full latitude here. Clearly the case will wind up at the Supreme Court eventually should the two sides find themselves unable to reach a compromise, but attempting to short-circuit the judicial process seems dangerous and foolhardy and one unlikely to be sanctioned by the Supreme Court except in the most extraordinary of circumstance and for the most compelling reasons. I cannot imagine how the nation would stand imperiled by the normal process here so I have a hard time imagining how DoJ could make its case for circumvention even if that is a theoretical option.
