Annie sued her employer, the City of Small Town, Iowa, alleging the city had violated her Constitutional right to free speech.Annie had worn a political button her boss did not like and she claims that was the reason she was fired.The boss / employer claimed any political buttons, religious symbols, etc. were not allowed to be worn or displayed in "public areas" (i.e., by people who worked with customers at a front desk, etc.).Annie claimed since she worked for the city (the government) then she did, in fact, have constitutional rights and that her employer had unduly infringed on those rights.

Without getting into the merits of the particular case, explain TWOseparatepaths Annie's case could take to get to the United States Supreme Court.One path is a state court path and the other path is through the federal court system.Set out the courts her case could proceed through in each path (state and federal)if it went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
