The bulk of those cases end with them saying “deal with it in your state for now” by declining to hear the case.

Personally I think the system works great but I’ve never been a “too down” style person anyway.

> 7,000-8,000 petitions for certiorari each year, rendering judgment in the merits after oral argument on about 80-100 cases per year

That's what this line refers to: petitions for cert are requests to have the Court hear a case. They only accept ~10%.

That would be ~1%
