Instead of deeming the lower court to be upheld, the Second Circuit was designated as stand-in Supreme Court Justices for that one case. It was a sui generis situation, and it may be that the federal law referenced above was passed in response to that case.

Does that make it a tactical mistake to have sued more than 3 justices?
