I appealed a case to the U.S. Supreme Court a couple of years ago. They ultimately declined to hear it (as they do with 99% of cases filed each term), but along with my petition, I had to pay a $300 "docket fee".
You might be able to avoid this if you file "in forma pauperis", basically stating that you can't afford the filing fee, but there are specific guidelines for that. The process of filing something in the U.S. Supreme Court is not a simple copy/paste. You would have to read up on the requirements and follow them to the letter, otherwise, your filing will be rejected without the judges seeing anything.
For example, you have to make a bunch of copies (obviously one for each member of the court, plus extras that they keep on file) and there are very specific formatting requirements you have to follow.
Personally, I'd suggest avoiding doing what OP suggests. I understand those initial feelings of utter desperation/frustration but please keep in mind that there are several legitimate challenges heading down the pipe to the Supreme Court. Time is our enemy. Anything we do that slows their system down works against us. We want to leave the path as smooth as possible so future challenges can be heard that much more quickly.
