In looking at them through my very weary eyes, I am still a tad bit confused.
If one appeals via state court using Constitutional arguments, are they forfeiting the ability to file a Federal District case using the same arguments?
Basically, I am trying to figure out if I should follow-through on a state appeal (not expecting much) or take it to the Federal level now.
Logic (I know logic and law are oxymorons) would say that the states answer would be the basis for Federal Appeal. But does that mean that it would have to go to the US Supreme Court or District Court?
