With respect to the USSC, the Court will also accept cases which would help settle a split of authority among various circuit courts where there is no final USSC decision.

You know what obama should do and since when i say these things somehow he seems to respond---he should apologize for voting against Roberts. He is asking repubs to be de-partisanize process but needs to address dems objections to roberts and alito as well. Its the golden rule. He who has the gold rules and that is most notable in SCOTUS picks for they are lifetime appointments. I have never been a fan of that. Am for age limitations or terms for justices but that involves amending the constituition and that aint happening..

"Right, but scores of decisions are sent through the appeals process, almost always by the losers" Not at the appellate level. According to figures, The USSC overturns about 3 quarters of the decisions that they decide to take on. Which shouldn't be a surprise because they only take on about 1% of the ones that make it to their level and they are more likely to take those they see flaws with than ones they think are likely to be upheld.
