Is it that the courts don’t care or that you yourself disagree with their ruling and think it was wrong? Which would be fine but isn’t the same thing.

- giantg2 6y agoIt depends on which courts we are talking about. For example, a court in NJ may ignore a case but federal courts may take it up. You can even have split circuits depending on the part of the country the cases were filed in. This leads to one court stating that something is a federally protected right, while a different circuit may rule th opposite. In some of these cases, SCOTUS may decline the case. In that event, you have part of the country being guaranteed a right while the other part might not be, and I believe that would violate equal protection under the law. Not settling the matter in this sort of scenario would in my eyes be "not caring".
- adamsea 6y agoYou just gave a whole bunch of examples of various courts caring, but disagreeing. And SCOTUS declining a case doesn't mean they don't care either, their decision not to accept the case is a choice in and of itself and a reading of the law. More so than "not caring", IMHO, what you are describing is disagreement. Now, you may disagree with what I just said, but that doesn't mean that either of us don't care ; ).
