Abstract

Over the last several years, the Supreme Court's role has subtly changed, makingJustice Sandra Day O'Connor more important to the Court than ever. Whereas the Court previously had mandated jurisdiction over certain cases, it now hears only those cases which the members of the Court deem worthy of consideration. As the press has noted, the number of Supreme Court cases has declined rather dramatically. The reasons for this decline are complex and, to some degree, impenetrable or at least unprovable.
