The four dissenting Justices in the obscenity cases DID force the Court to take several cases, which all lost by identical 5-4 votes. Finally, the 4 resorted to filing dissents, rather than forcing more cases to be heard.

It wasn't politics. It was practicality. As Einstein remarked, it is foolish to keep repeating what you've done before, expecting the outcome to be different.

Thanks for the enlightenment, I’m so glad to see first rate posters weighing in.

One lingering question that the Supreme Court let slide is what the citizens’ redress is when the secretary of state doesn’t do her job and vet candidates. It is a hole in the constitution that Obama has driven a truck through.
