What is going to happen is that the justices will read some one page memo about the case written by one of the justices’ clerks, who is likely the only person to read the briefs. That clerk will recommend that the court deny cert, and the will move onto the next case.

For the most part, that is the reality at the SCOTUS.

Bingo. Countless other cases like this one have made it to conference. It takes 4 justices to vote to take up a case and so far no dice. I see this one getting kicked to the curb just like the others.
