WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected appeals from three Republican U.S. House members who challenged fines for not wearing face coverings on the House floor in 2021.
The justices did not comment on leaving in place $500 fines issued in May 2021 to U.S. Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Ralph Norman of South Carolina.

Can we sue them for wasting resources or something?
You can sue anyone for anything, you just need to be in congress to have your frivolous case dismissed by the SC instead of a low level judge.

Which begs the question, can you appeal anything to the Supreme Court? And either way, how did it get that far that an appellate court didn’t stay the lower courts ruling? How does that work?

So at a minimum an appellate and district court actually bothered to hear this case?
And disagreed on the judgment
You could if the appeal and the court disagree, at every level of the justice system.
And it took nearly 3 years for a ruling…
