Yeah, but also interesting that lower courts all threw the case out.

That's the only way that a case gets heard by the Supreme Court. The are the Supreme "Appellate" Court.

I know the Supreme Court is an appellate court. But, often, the appeals are based on something that happened in the case... a faulty argument, or a procedural error, or some questionable evidence. This didn’t make it that far in the lower courts—”thrown out” to me means that it wasn’t considered at all.
