    They should. But when the Supreme Court is corrupt, this is what happens.

          Yes I know, but (1) most lower court actions and decisions are never reviewed by SCOTUS and (2) it’s not like the lower courts were doing great and every once in a while SCOTUS overturned them. This has long, long been a been a very consistent and pervasive problem in the federal courts. It’s not as simple as “SCOTUS pulls the strings of the lower courts,” quite far from it.

            I didn’t say they pull the strings. I said they dictate it. They set precedence. Which is huge in the interpretation of law.
