1st step of series to Supreme Court. From here to an appeals court then on to Supreme Court. All cases start at lowest level of system they're filed in (state/fed).
As for judges determining the constitutionality of laws (not "rewriting"): it's been going on for 200 years. Plessy v. Ferguson, Brown v. Board.. etc.
