- The Court will Hear Cases to Resolve a Conflict of Law: The U.S. judicial system consists of 13 federal circuits and 50 state supreme courts. When a number of these courts reach different conclusions about an issue of federal or constitutional law, the Supreme Court may step in and decide the law so that all areas of the country can then operate under the same law.
- The Court will Hear Cases that are Important: Sometimes the Court will consider a highly unusual case such as U.S. v Nixon (concerning the Watergate tapes) or Bush v. Gore (concerning the extremely close election in 2000), or a case with an important social issue, such as abortion in Roe v. Wade.
- The Court will Sometimes Hear Cases that Speak to the Justices' Interests: Sometimes Justices give preference to cases that decide an issue in their favorite area of law.
- The Court hears Cases when Lower Courts Disregard past Supreme Court decisions: If a lower court blatantly disregards a past Supreme Court decision, the court may hear the case to correct the lower court, or alternatively, simply overrule the case without comment.

The President has no bearing on the decisions of the court and the court is meant to be a collection of non-partisan judges who interpret the law and constitution.
Those were the days:)

Hmm - I wonder how many people die each day because they are not able to receive treatment for a disease, need a drug they cant afford, or have no access to any kind of healthcare?
Funny how Pro Lifers don't give a F about them.
Simon,
Roe vs Wade is laughably stupid beyond belief as a SCOTUS judgement and based on a fraudulent claim - a false claim of rape that didn't happen.
This was a ruling that happened under a Republican President, and a Conservative Court (more conservatives voted for it than liberals).
Also the case had to do with a Doctor's ability to treat a patient, and a patients self determination.
Just like ALL SCOTUS cases, they are not about 1 person or 1 case, they are about determination of law for the whole country.

Nudity in the movie "Roma"
by Wonderment inin the movie "roma," a man is shown making some martial type moves with a sword totally naked.
and the scene is not so brief, giving a clear glimpse of his private parts.
it is a very graphic scene.

Is something wrong with sex and nudity?
Is a glimpse of a dick worse than seeing people murdered?
I never see people complain that "hey did they really have to show that person getting shot 3 times, wasn't 2 enough?

He said just what the GB say. This is Satanic - but then imposed NO policy to make changes.
The groups that met at the Vatican with the Pope Cardinals and Bishops are not happy at all.
Nothing has changed.

Society Ditches Older Publications
by new boy init has been reported that many of the older publications are being dumped.
the watchtower bible and truck society have a long list of books, pamphlets and brochures that are no longer available either in print or in their data base on their web sight.
of course the reason is that this books have a lot of old information that is incorrect, false prophecies, flip flops and a lot of "new light" that became old light.

Nothing new.
This has been done with "out of date" pubs for ever.
We would usually be told to have campaigns to get rid of them and what's left trash.
