The US Supreme Court only has the time and the resources to hear less than 1% of the cases which request it. The court must limit itself to issues where the law is unsettled and there is a pressing need for the court to make a determination on an issue.
You can only take your case to the Supreme Court if:
- You have already lost in Federal Circuit court.
- You have reasonable grounds for an appeal.
- The Supreme Court agrees to hear your case.
The last one is the hardest: the S.C. agrees to hear a tiny percentage of the cases that people want them to. There's only so much time every year, and lots of cases.
Quite possibly because of the cost involved. Even an average Small Claims Court case in Canada costs about $20,000. - and that is with no lawyers involved ! Imagine the cost with senior judges and lawyers who possibly earn more annually than an average citizen makes honestly in 10-12 years.
The Supreme Court gets to choose which cases it wants to hear, and it doesn't choose very many!!

How does the Supreme Court help us?
If a decision made at District Court is successfully appealled, the case gets taken to a higher court. If there wasn't a Supreme Court, cases would keep getting appealled and taken to a higher court each time. Rulings by the Supreme Court can get appealled (the case would get taken to Congress), but this process is very difficult. The Supreme Court also has a duty to make sure laws and actions by the President and Congress are not unconsitutional.
What Supreme Court case set up the Supreme Court?
