It sounded to me like you thought the lower courts could pass a case on to SCOTUS if they didn’t want it. That can’t happen. The lower courts will always render a decision on every case that appears before them. They don’t have the option not to. Since SCOTUS can choose to let any ruling of the lower courts stand cases often stop at the Appellate level even when nobody is happy with their decision.
Yeah, that's not what I meant. I meant that they have to be able to make a call that is considered sufficient. They don't just toss back shitty, obviously wrong rulings. Such is the case with grandparental visitation, as I mentioned before. Many local judges will rule in favor of it, but it is constitutionally wrong.
