inaction


if they heard the case and decided an unfavorable outcome, at least they would have explained why

the "not my fricking problem, yall deal with it" approach is bullshite.

This is one of the challenges of conservatism versus liberal activism.

Liberal activist judges jump at the opportunity to influence law and set precedent (hence “activism”)

Part of being conservative is being selective about where the court chooses to engage to avoid setting precedent.

In other words, one side is playing the game. The other is walking off the field.

We need a bit of conservative activism to set some constitutional precedent.
