Court Backs Snowden, Strikes Secret Laws (2015)
- fovc 10y agoWhy would the two other courts ruling similarly keep the supreme court out of this issue? Is it for legal reasons or more of a practical matter for the government?
- dragonwriter 10y agoThe Supreme Court doesn't have to take appeals and usually doesn't. One factor that inclines them toward taking appeals is resolving a conflict between the case law of the circuit courts, so the circuits ruling the same way would make it less likely for the Supreme Court to take a case on the issue than if they split.
