I have no doubt that SCOTUS can scrutinize and weigh the evidence on the record before it.

I’m just pointing out that the general rule is NEW evidence cannot be put before SCOTUS.

Also, generally, District Courts are trial courts, and when their ruling is appealed to Circuit Courts, the issue that is reviewed by the Circuit Court can then be reviewed by SCOTUS if cert is granted. Novel questions of law cannot be introduced for SCOTUS to review and rule upon.
