Any indication of a timeline? Or at least the path? If a federal case is filed tomorrow, will it start in a district court and then go directly to SCOTUS on appeal? Any chance that similar cases will be combined into one larger case, or would a ruling on PA be used as precedent in other cases so SCOTUS would not take up an appeal?
I'm not a lawyer. I only know the basic federal court structure and assume that these will at least get fast-tracked if not even skip directly to the Supreme Court.
Election law is not my particualr arcana but going through ConLaw/CivPro notes, SCOTUS should have original jurisdiction over this issue and not go through a song and dance at every state.
They would have to fast-track it. Elections are incredibly important (one of the most important things in our country) and there is only so much time between now and December 14th.

I think it will be fast tracked.

I bet if it gets in front of a lefty judge he/she will try to slow roll it.
Just look at what Sullivan has been allowed to do.
I hope I’m wrong.
That's good news. I'm going to be so impatient!
Thanks!
More lawyer Pedes need to be posting on here. We understand it's a legal process from here out. But getting an in depth explanation be nice to read.
Especially if mods sticky them.
I'll talk to some friends who are more familiar than I to post here about it but for obvious reasons, they're all a bit busy.
