The real issue is why does the Supreme Court choose to hear a specific case. Anyone can send a case or an appeal to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court last served as a court of original jurisdiction in 1924. It insists that it has the right to serve in that capacity. It is doubtful that the Chief Justice has any idea of what circumstances could possibly arise that would require the Supreme Court to be a court of original Jurisdiction. Normally the Supreme Court hears appeal of cases dealing with conflicts in laws. If the fifth circuit in Baton Rouge rules one way in a specific situation and then the 11th Circuit in Atlanta rules a different way and then the Ninth Circuit in California rules yet a different way, then the Supreme Court might hear an appeal. Then the Supreme Court will listen to the material. It will make its decision. From then on, the rules as to how the law will be applied the same way in all of the different courts.
Another name for a circuit court is an Appeals Court. '''Added:''' No, not necessarily. An Appeals Court is usually an entirely different level of the court system. So-called "circuit courts" can be known by different names in different states. Some states call them "superior court' and other different terminologies that has much to do with the history and customs of the particular state.
That means a case heard in a trial court was appealed to an appellate court; the appellate court agreed with the lower court's decision, and determined the case was conducted properly. When this happens, the appellate court "affirms" the trial court decision, and that decision becomes final unless the case is carried to a higher appellate court that reverses the trial court's decision.
Yahoo! is facing an uncertain future when it comes to their First Amendment rights. A recent decision by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that a U.S. district court judge overstepped his bounds by making a decision about a case that has international consequences. The ruling could also call into question the free speech rights of other U.S. companies that allow international access to their Web site.
