Poor Circulation and the Heart. When the veins and arteries that circulate blood throughout the body become occluded, or narrowed, with plaque, the heart must beat harder and faster in order to push blood past those areas of blockage.
A Term of the Supreme Court begins, by statute, on the first Monday in October. Usually Court sessions continue until late June or early July. The Term is divided between sittings, when the Justices hear cases and deliver opinions, and intervening recesses, when they consider the business before the Court and write opinions.
Once a case works its way through the lower courts, a party may petition to have their case heard by the Supreme Court. However, the Supreme Court of the United States has great latitude in which cases it will hear. The Supreme Court receives thousands of requests to hear cases, which are called petitions for certiorari. Of these many requests, the Justices will agree to hear only a handful, generally less than 100, cases per term. The Supreme Courtâs term begins the first Monday of October and ends the first Monday of October the following year. In 2010, the Supreme Court term begins on October 4th.
