I dont think SCOTUS has taken the case...theyve just petitioned SCOTUS to take it which based on how many petitioners there are a year vs how many cases get heard gives it about a 1% chance of being heard.
The SC told the lower court they could not dismiss the case, they have standing and the lower court must hear the case.
Forcing the lower court to adjudicate and make a ruling is sometimes the SC best move. This forces more evidence out and then when the lower court rules against the Plaintiff (in this case) the Circuit Court and then the SC get to rip the ruling to shreds and point out all the flaws.
The SC does have original jurisdiction in all Constitutional issues, though, but obviously they have limited bandwidth so sometimes they make the lower courts do some work and set it up for them while they clear a spot in their schedule.
Remember that we do not them to rule in favor of the Plaintiff until around Jan 20, 2023 so Trump can serve 2 years + 4 years, so timing is important. Deep State could theoretically concede on this point and take the loss with Biden/Harris removal prior to Jan 20, 2023 and effectively neutralize Trump for 2024 (he would be ineligible).
Well other stuff then.
Good grief, guys 😂
Yeah, I like that petition, but the way it is written, I don't even think the authors intended it to pass.
It's written like a series of jabs more than actually asking SC to tear down the executive branch.
They might be referring to Moore v Harper, for which they are hearing arguments in December, iirc.
