[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 3129774, member: 13624"] Also keep in mind that SCOTUS selects its own cases; given the huge volume of petitions for cert, and the Court's limited time, it's generally not going to waste time hearing cases with which it agrees. To get selected, you generally have to have one of two things: a case the Court thinks is wrong, or a circuit split (two circuits reaching substantially different conclusions from substantially similar facts). A distant third is one the Court thinks is ripe to be overturned, such as the recent out-of-state sales tax case. [/QUOTE]
