Supreme Court Needs to Hear more Cases

Why Is This Idea Important?: Had the Supreme Court heard only 150 cases in 1973 Roe v. Wade may not have been heard. What cases are not being heard by the court because they don't want to work full time? How are our rights being impacted (ignored) by the courts decision to work part time?

The Supreme Court of the United States will hear only 150 cases this year. In 1970 the Supreme Court heard 250 cases. Society has not gotten any simpler in the last 40 years. Challenges to our personal and legal rights have increased substantially and gotten much more complicated. Don't we deserve full time work for full time pay from the people who adjudicate the most important legal decisions in the United States: the decisions that define American society. We are after all a society built on the rule of law, not religion, not arbitrary power.

    The reason why they hear so few cases is because the "unheard" cases have almost always been settled by then.
