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.
