What factors might cause the US Supreme Court to hear another flow control case?
Shanoff: The high court will accept (or reject) a flow control case for the same reasons it accepts (or rejects) other types of cases — nationally urgent or significant issues; conflicting rulings by several federal appeals courts on the same important federal issue; or a trend among federal appeals courts to decide an important federal question in a way that conflicts with a Supreme Court decision. For now, the flow control arena is simply not producing rulings of that sort.
