Supreme Court Review Is Not a Verdict
“The Supreme Court will hear the case” is not the same as “the Court has ruled.”
Each Term, the Court receives about 7,000–8,000 petitions asking it to review lower-court decisions, but grants and hears argument in about 80. A grant of review puts the legal questions before the Justices; briefs and oral arguments follow, and the Court issues its decision later.
That distinction matters in high-profile disputes involving the Trump administration: review signals importance, not a winner. What issue do you think deserves the Court’s closest scrutiny this Term?
