The idea that supreme court has to be small is not given by god.
- crazygringo 4y agoNobody said it was "given by god". Courts at every level turn down appeals. Otherwise every case would be appealed higher and higher and it would be unworkable. Circuit courts work just fine for most cases, they're already courts of appeal. There's no reason why the Supreme Court should be another "regular" appeal court one level higher -- that would just be redundant. Rather, the Supreme Court is reserved for major constitutional questions, the ones over which circuit courts may be particularly divided or lacking in precedent. So I think you might be confusing the role of the Supreme Court with the role of the circuit courts.
