It's not about an obligation or not. SCOTUS can't just say 'sorry guys, NJ gay marriage case is too damn important for you guys to handle, we're taking the case'. It's never worked that way and it's not supposed to. I realize what you're saying, that they can choose to hear it or not, but they can only make that choice once a request for cert has been made to them.
