+Which of the 7 criteria for Case Selection presented in the lecture
+should guarantee access to the Supreme Court and why? No more than 2--3
+sentences.
+
+Two cases should guarantee access to the Supreme Court: a state Supreme
+Court invalidating a federal law and the Solicitor General requesting
+review. A state Supreme Court's invalidation should be handled
+immediately in order to avoid precedents that vary the rights of
+citizens of different states. The Solicitor General's request is a less
+pressing motivation, but so as to avoid extreme political bias in the
+Court's docket, the executive should be able to exert this power on the
+Court, forcing it to at least take a stance on certain issues.
