Petition the Court? I could be way wrong, but I’m thinking the only cases that get to the SCOTUS are appealed from lower Courts, which have the results of a suit in contest.

What is Petition the Court?

Its your foot in mouth, I trying to give you a saving grace.

As Bush v Gore was appealed from a lower court?

Since you asked, “Petitioning” is “a formal written request or ‘prayer’ for a certain thing to be done.” —Barron’s Law Dictionary

X-spurt. Okay.

IIRC, the court does have primary jurisdiction in a very few matters. I’m not sure if this would be one.
