It's time to rethink the Court's certiorari power. The ability to choose cases is not an innocuous way to manage workload--it's a tool the Court can use to advance its agenda.

The 68th Congress created this power, and the 116th Congress can take it away.

Congrats @ramiswadood! But YLS placing 1 fellow this year while HLS places 9 speaks to the inadequate support for public-interest students @YLS

YLS has placed fewer fellows than Harvard in 15/last 22 years, despite the two schools having similar nos. of public-interest students

"For the first 100-odd years of the Republic, the court had to review every case that litigants appealed," writes Melody Wang. "Only with the Judiciary Act of 1925 did the court begin to exercise vast discretion over its docket." https://t.co/0uG5o1uwO6
