Would it possibly run into the problem of the Court and the public making a distinction between "real" and "fake" Supreme Court cases? At least if a "cert panel" of judges picks the supplemental cases, then they will have some level of additional credibility. That said, I love the idea of the Supreme Court getting to see district court opinions and appellate litigation in an unfiltered form. I like the ease of your proposal.
