Forgive my ingnorance, but how is it that this issue keeps getting appealed? How many times can you go back to the courts and keep getting the same decision? Seems like a waste of time and money. Of course, it’s not their money to waste, just ours.
1. The case was brought under multiple circuit court jurisdictions, which is why it's getting appealed all over the place
2. My guess is that they're shopping around for an appeals court that will give them a win. If that happens, and you have two separate circuits with opposing views, this would nearly guarantee them a path to appealing to SCOTUS, which I assume is their primary goal. As long as all the circuit courts are in agreement though, that makes this less likely.
Thanks. That was helpful. A couple more questions—are there still more of these circuit cases to go? And one decision contrary to the former three could put this case up to the Supreme Court?

I'm not 100% sure if there are more to come (that's a bit harder to track and I'm trying to track a whole lot of things).
I'm pretty confident that if a case came out of a circuit court against the other 3 it would probably make it an easy way into SCOTUS.
