The Majority vote decides the cases to take, Roberts voting with the Libs have kept the Supremes from deciding a gun related case, they are now no longer the majority!
i think it only takes four justices to agree to hear a case. Unless the four conservative justices think they can get a fifth vote, they do not take they case. They would rather let a lower court ruling stand and not be a precedent than lose the case and become a bad precedent.
