Just to add a bit of context, it is normal for the supreme court to not hear certain cases just because of how the system works. Cases aren’t just brought before the supreme court, they start at lower levels and move up as they are challenged. Challenge something all the way and it may end up at the supreme court.
When the supreme court makes a decision on a case, there is no further argument and it sets a national precedent which should only be able to be changed by new legislation in Congress (emphasis on should because apparently they can just change their fucking minds on rulings that had been settled for decades).
If they are worried about setting a national precedent on a given issue, or if they believe the prior ruling from the circuit court is sufficient, they can choose to not hear a case. This makes whatever the circuit court decided the final verdict, but preserves the possibility of different circuit courts reaching a different verdict should a similar case be brought before them, in essence keeping the debate on the table until it becomes necessary to set a national standard.
What about Amy Coney Barrets religious moral compass? Shouldn’t a good Christian help the poor and homeless? Isn’t that what Jesus would do? Or would he send the poors to jail because it’s now illegal. /s
They do not care about this, and they never have. Seriously, conservatives have literally no values. They defy every. single. conviction they attest to hold dear.
The democrats aren’t saints… But they at least seem to hold onto some semblance of uniformity. It’s quite ironic, really… The conservative ones seem to actually be the democrats when it comes to values and decorum.
