If the Court is split evenly, doesn’t the case refer back to the Lower Court’s decision? Is there anything IMPORTANT that will be on the docket soon? I know they want to block him completely, but am curious if there is any specific case they want referred to the Lower Court’s decision.

The frog is NOT "endangered".

this entire practice was cataloged beginning in the 80's.

Prof's had student work grids to ID "unique species" across the country.

With the specific intent of prohibiting development anywhere they wanted.

“a shorthanded Supreme Court appeared evenly split Monday over a potential habitat for an endangered frog in the first arguments of the new term.”

Are the frogs “GAY”?

… an empty place on the far right where a ninth would sit …
Interesting choice of words.

The “empty chair” position also represents that the “new guy” isn’t there to get the coffee (or beer) for the other justices.

It is such a relief America has no problems greater than a frog’s habitat.

They need Kavanaugh.

Why doesn’t that dumb ass of a chief justice just delay everything a week or so? Idiots...

Delay the open of Supreme Court until a vote is taken on Kavanaugh.

If it is a split, they will likely bring them back to reargue.

Once Kavanaugh joins SCOTUS (a bit late) what duties will he miss exercising, if any?

He will miss helping with selection of cases for the year, but is he precluded from any of this year's deliberations? Thanks for any info, FReepers!...
