If I picked and chose my customers at work I'd be fired.
Yet another reason lifetime appointments should be eliminated.
Let's pile that reason up to the petabyte reasons to eliminate lifetime appointments vault.... hopefully there's still room.
Toss it on the petafile, boys

That’s because you’re not high enough in management. But, point taken.
If I picked and chose my customers at work, that would be my day to day job...
If the Supreme Court is shopping around for convenient cases for themselves, that is an issue in and of itself, but it does not mean that the practice of the Supreme Court choosing which cases to take on is faulty, but only that the makeup is skewed. This SCOTUS is problematic for so many reasons, but can we not just make up dumb shit and equate our average jobs with the duties and practices of a justice on the highest court in the country?
While I’m all too happy to criticize SCOTUS, and I’m aghast at the judge shopping that is going on, these straight numbers don’t mean anything. We need to know proportions. If 10 cases are accepted from the 5th Circuit out of 100 that apply, that’s 10%. If 3 are heard from another circuit where 5 apply, that’s 60%. From the article, it seems judge shopping in the lower courts is the real issue.
If a lot of them are ridiculous speech, anti-trans and abortion laws that could also inflate it. Pass dumb laws, get dumb court cases.
SCOTUS: "Yep, and we like it that way."
I mean that's what they get paid for
