Why does the US Supreme Court exercise considerable discretion in deciding which cases to review?
So many cases are appealed to the US Supreme Court that if it had mandatory appellate jurisdiction, its workload would be impossible to manage.

It does this by denying the request to be heard when it denies the "writ of certiorari". This has the effect of allowing the lower court opinion to stand unchanged just as if it had heard the appeal and ruled that the lower court decision was correct.
