Yep, and a lot depends on the "merits of the case" ie the wording of the case as to whether or not they dismiss the case.Just because they can doesn't mean they will. God be willing, they will hear the case.

Interesting. I know that SCOTUS has authority to pick and choose which cases to hear, but how would a case that can only be heard by SCOTUS and no lower courts be handled? Just ignored outright? Are SCOTUS' reasons for not hearing the case more strict for a case like this or is it like any other case? And what are those reasons, exactly? I thought it was just "none of the justices are interested in taking the case."
