    Can you actually appeal anything to the SC with enough $$$ or is there a type of denial earlier in the process that then prohibits it?

      Anyone can appeal for cert. Famously, a lot of convicts do from prison. It’s very rare to have it granted, though.

      SCOTUS can take any case they want. But they don’t have all that much time so have to pick and choose until juicy ones.

        The amount of faith you have in SCOTUS is concerning, they’ve already clearly demonstrated they’re not basing opinions on law but who appointed them.

          I have no faith in them. Ignoring them doesn’t fix things and pointing out how the world works does not imply faith.

      You can appeal any federal case to scotus or make an argument that a state case should be federal. However scotus decides what cases they hear. So you can appeal but unless you have a good argument they are simply going to decide to not hear the case.
