Yes, the state supreme courts are compelled to hear all death row appeals; but No, the US Supreme Court is not required to hear capital appeals.Death row appeals are part of the mandatory jurisdiction of State supreme courts, but the US Supreme Court is no longer required to review capital punishment cases. The Judiciary Act of 1925 allowed the US Supreme Court discretion to determine what cases to hear, with a few exceptions. Congress eliminated mandatory jurisdiction over death penalty cases in 1988.
AnswerYes and no. State supreme courts are required to hear death penalty appeals. The US Supreme Court is not required to hear any case on appeal, but may choose to review the ones they believe most worthy of their time and attention.ExplanationThe Supreme Court of the United States and individual state supreme courts (courts of last resort) are able to exercise discretion over the cases they hear, under most circumstances. State supreme courts have mandatory appellate jurisdiction over capital punishment cases, meaning they are required to review all death penalty sentences within their state.The U.S. Supreme Court gained the right of judicial discretion in determining which cases it hears in the Judiciary Act of 1925 (also called the Judges' Bill and the Certiorari Act). Prior to this legislation, which was heavily promoted by former US President, Chief Justice William Howard Taft, the Court was obligated to review all cases appealed under its jurisdiction. This legislation was a matter of practicality. By the late 19th-century the Court's caseload was so heavy, the requirement sometimes caused delays of several years between the time a case was placed on the Court's docket and the time it was heard.In the 1970s, Congress reduced the Court's scope of mandatory appellate jurisdiction to a few categories of civil rights suits, and certain issues involving federal and state government. The US Supreme Court was relieved of all mandatory appeals in 1988 (they are no longer required to review appeals of capital punishment sentences); however, they continue to have exclusive, original jurisdiction over disputes between the states.Most other cases reach the Court through a petition for a writ of certiorari, or a formal request for the Court to review a case, as outlined in United States Code (i.e., federal law) 28 USC § 1651(a) and in the Supreme Court Rules, Rule 10.For more information, see Related Questions, below.
Mistrust means not trust worthy.
Discretionary power is the ability to act or make decisions according to one's own judgment.The Supreme Court primarily exercises judicial discretion over two related areas:Granting Extraordinary Writs, such as writs of habeas corpus, mandamus, prohibition, and certiorari, that allow the Court to command action from certain parties or official bodies for the benefit of the petitioner. The scope of and application of this authority is outlined in Rule 20 of the Supreme Court Rules (see Related Links and Related Questions, below).Discretionary Review Authority allows the Court to decide which cases it deems worthy of hearing under its appellate jurisdiction. Discretionary review is closely tied to extraordinary writs, as the authority is exercised by issuance of a writ of certiorari, or order to the lower courts to transmit case files when a petition is granted.Congress allowed the Supreme Court discretion over cases involving diversity, patent, revenue, criminal and admiralty issues in the Judiciary Act of 1891, and extended their authority to include the majority of cases in the Judiciary Act of 1925 (also called the Certiorari Act), legislation designed to reduce the justices' workload without increasing the size of the Court. At present, the Court has complete discretion over the cases it hears, and is no longer subject to mandatory appellate jurisdiction.For more information, see Related Questions and Related Links, below.
James Scarantino is an ACLU attorney and solo practioner in Albuquerque, New Mexico.There is no evidence he's argued any cases before the US Supreme Court, although he was the Plaintiff's attorney on two cases that were probably cert worthy, and filed an amicus brief on a third case (Schutz v. Thorne, cert denied).Scarantino's two most publicized cases were American Civil Liberties Union v. Santillanes, a voter ID case that was settled in the US Court of Appeals pursuant to the US Supreme Court's decision in Crawford v. Marion County Board of Elections, 553 US ___ (2008); and United States Outfitters v. Arizona, a challenge of Arizona's fish and game cap for out-of-state hunters and fisherman, which was denied cert by the US Supreme Court.
The prepositional phrase is with fundraising events.
Your sentence, "Marcy plans to select a worthy charity and offer to help with fund- raising events" has two prepositional phrases, I believe. First, "to select a worthy charity" and second "to help with fund- raising events". However, the verb phrase "offer" is incorrect; it does not match the verb tense "plans". It is also unclear who is doing the offer--it should refer back to "a worthy charity" with the way the sentence is worded, but I think you want it to refer to Marcy. For example: Marcy plans to select a worthy charity and she has offered to help with fund- raising events. Or and she offers...

A judicial review by the US Supreme Court if the Court is petitioned by people or organizations. The Supreme Court decides if the case is worthy of a review to determine the law's or regulations is Constitutional. If the plaintiff' win the law or regulation is overturned by the Court. If the Court decides NOT to hear the case, the previous Court decision (such as the Supreme Court of Virginia as example) is upheld. The US Supreme Court will eventually ( I'm sure) decide whether the so-called Obama care law is a violation of the US Constitution.One area to be explored is whether the Federal Government can force citizens to buy Gov't sponsored health insurance. Another key aspect of the law as it stands, is whether granting "Exceptions to the law " is also Unconstitutional. The Former Speaker of the House of Representatives who was a huge backer of "Obama Care" has had the largest number of exceptions granted in her own Congressional District.

The word worthy is an adjective. In the English languague, only verbs have a past tense. Adjectives don't. So whether you are saying I am worthy, or I was worthy, or I am going to be worthy, or I should have been worthy, the word worthy does not change.
