Why was the Cherokee Nation's request for an injunction against their removal denied by the US Supreme Court?
The US Supreme Court ruled that it lacked original jurisdiction over the case because the status of the Cherokee nation was not a state but a "denominated domestic dependent nation." Although the injunction was denied, the Court indicated it would be willing to review the matter on appeal from the lower courts. It appears the suit was not refiled in the lower courts.Case Citation:Cherokee Nation v. Georgia, 30 US 1 (1831)For more information, see Related Questions, below.
What has to happen for the Supreme Court to hear a case from a US District Court?
Generally, the US Supreme Court will hear a case from US District Court on direct or expedited appeal if:The case is of such national or constitutional importance it would clearly be appealed to and accepted by the Supreme Court anyway; orThe case involves legislation in which Congress specified appeals of District Court decisions must go directly to the Supreme Court (bypassing the Circuit Court).
What would happen if there was no Supreme Court?
If we did not have the protection of Constitutional Rights there would be regional pockets of intolerance where the prevailing majorities would pass laws that violate the rights of the minorities. There would be no balance. It is part of human nature for the powerful to take advantage, and control, of the less powerful in order to further their own desires and self interests. If that were to happen we would descend into a quagmire of hodge-podge laws and we would lose the stability and intelligence of the national framework of equality we now experience.
