And usually, you know, a coalition of groups gets together, you know, with money effectively, finds a case or an individual, then in a sense becomes the front of that case.
So the detail of the individual case, whilst probably incredibly important to them, is not really central to this.
But yeah, that's exactly what happens.

They bubble up through the federal courts at the district level.
They end up at a sort of regional appeal court, which all this did.
And then, you know, you can appeal right up to the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court doesn't have to hear it.

So there were a couple involving President Trump's power to fire people in the executive.
In other words, you've got this problem in America.
The executive is one part of three parts of the governing system, along with Congress and the courts.
But the executive also contains these so-called independent agencies.
Now, if they're part of the executive, does Trump have the ability to fire people on them or are they independent?
That was one of the things it was deciding.
And in one case with the Federal Trade Commission, it agreed with him he could fire someone.
But in another case, it said, hang on, you can't fire someone from the Federal Reserve, the central bank, because they hadn't had proper due process and they sent that back to the court.
