Your sources are Youtube and Obamacrimes while citing a case that was thrown out...

Your back up for experience is the Beta club, national honor society, and volunteering for the library... (Which is funny cause we have a;; three in common.)

Jeez I support the opposing argument better in my posts (before I tear them apart) than you do when you are seriously defending them.

When you're in the real world, and you need smart, capable people to work for you and be loyal or you need to sell big ticket items this illogical reasoning isn't going to fly.

You are a smart guy, you can do better: collect your thoughts, organize them, and check them to see if they are going to be relative and significant to your audience.

Dang, Steven ... if I didn't know any better, I think you just OWN3D halogamer X2. I will pay whatever you ask when I get into legal troubles.

OT: I actually read through this foolishness and just think it's hella funny. Get over it - Obama won and he will be Pres. 44. Try again in 4 years.

 

I own no one, they own themselves

Wrong, they must take cases in which they have original jurisdiction that are filed with them. The cases they refuse is a refusal to hear the appeal and they let the lower court ruling stand.


The Certiorari Act greatly reduced the number of decisions in either state courts of last resort or federal appeals courts that parties could appeal to the Supreme Court as a matter of right. It greatly expanded the cases in which parties could seek review only by filing a petition for a writ of certiorari with the Court, leaving it for the Court to decide whether or not to grant the petition and hear the case. This authority made the single biggest difference in the Supreme Court's docket. No longer did the Court have to hear almost every case an unhappy litigant presented to it. Instead, for the most part, the Court could select only those relatively few cases involving issues important enough to require a decision from the Supreme Court.

As for "original jurisdiction" the cases are not compulsory.

Rule 17. Procedure in an Original Action

1. This Rule applies only to an action invoking the Court’s
original jurisdiction under Article III of the Constitution of
the United States.

I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
