I don't think you can appeal directly to the Supreme court here either.

I guess that's good in the sense that people can't deliberately waste the court's time, but does that mean they can refuse to hear a case that has appealed to them through the proper channels on legitimate grounds? (< that face looks a little too scared for what I really mean here.)
