Someone explained the process of bypassing the appeals court a while back. As I recall, either party can petition the Supreme Court for an expedited hearing (bypassing the appeals court) There must be some compelling reason (and the Supreme Court must agree that it is compelling), such as great harm to the country or party making the petition, if the constitutional question at hand is not definitively settled almost immediately. As I understand it, the Supreme Court only rarely grants this sort of petition. It is not up to DOJ or msft to decide whether or not the appeals process is bypassed, this would be the Supreme Courts call. All the DOJ or MSFT can do is ask but they can't demand that the Supreme Court takes action. For that matter, after the case winds through the appeals process the Supreme Court can decide not to hear the case (allowing the decision of the appeals court to stand). For most cases that are appealed to the Supreme Court the result is that the Supreme Court decides not to hear the case, let alone on an expedited basis. SC
