Insufficient SCOTUS Cases

The WSJ has this article by Jess Bravin on comments by Justice Kavanaugh that the Supreme Court is not taking enough cases. The majority of his colleagues evidently do not agree.

As if on cue, the Court today announced yet another Monday orders list taking no new cases for full briefing and argument.

We now have a working majority on the Court who believe in enforcing the Constitution actually ratified by the people, not one made up later by judges twisting the original words out of shape to fit their own policy preferences. In criminal procedure, there are huge piles of pseudo-constitutional muck violating the people’s right of self-government and needing cleaning up. So far, though, we do not seem to have enough justices interested in doing so.

One possible reason is a belief that there is a limited tolerance in the country for change by the high court, and they can only do so much in a given interval of time. Other areas of law have been deemed higher priorities. So perhaps we will see some movement in future terms, but it can’t come too soon.
