The Idaho Supreme Court ruled that cross burning is unconstitutional. The head of the Ku Klux Klan appeals this decision to what court? Why this court?
If the Idaho Supreme Court ruled that cross-burning is unconstitutional, the head of the Ku Klux Klan could appeal this decision to the United States Supreme Court. The United States Supreme Court is the highest court in the country and has the authority to review decisions made by state courts, including those of the Idaho Supreme Court.
The head of the Ku Klux Klan may choose to appeal to the US Supreme Court because the case involves a question of constitutional significance and the outcome could have implications beyond the state of Idaho. The US Supreme Court has the power to interpret and clarify issues related to the US Constitution and its amendments, such as the First Amendment which protects the right to free speech. The head of the Ku Klux Klan may hope that the US Supreme Court will provide a different interpretation of the Constitution, possibly more favorable to their argument.
