(173,449 posts)they are creating scenarios to present "cases" from what I've heard
have to take on all cases, but have opinions ruled for about 70-80 of the 7-8000 presented to them. There are number of procedures they apply to implement the screening of cases.
Under the stacking, corrupt process of Senate confirmations, CU, American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC)., Federalist Society, et . the lower courts are significantly weakened. Their rulings against Thumps lawlessness are little comfort when you consider egregious, recent USSC decisions.
