Except for that fact that the Supreme Court generally avoids cases of a serious constitutional nature, that only an extraordinarily small % of cases are actually taken up by the Court, and that individual justices generally do not issue individual opinions on reviews such as this.

So much misinformation in your post, it is staggering.

You obviously do not follow the USSC very closely. It is not unusual for a justice to write an opinion as to why he/she disagrees with the court’s decision to not hear a case; you just don’t read about them very often. In this case, any such opinion would receive wide distribution.

The USSC may not hear many cases, but those with previously unresolved constitutional issues almost always get a hearing.
