> No, such cases would have to go through eleven circuits before ending up at the supreme court The case needs to reach just one circuit, the appropriate circuit that is the appellate court of whatever federal district the case is on (in this case, 11th). Sometimes, you need a circuit split (where two circuits come to opposite conclusions of the law), but that's usually not necessary where a constitutional question is at play. Also, there are 13 circuits. There are 11 numbered circuits, plus the DC circuit, plus the Federal Circuit.
