a “conference” is all 9...and ya need 4 votes to proceed to hearing. So far, have only been able to get 3 votes. This is big because there is a request for the two dufus broads appt by dunham to recuse themselves. If that happens you would then need 3 votes to proceed to a hearing!!!!
Doubly wrong:
(1) There have never been any votes to hear any eligibility case. All have been denied without comment and without dissent and, most tellingly, without any call for a response from the Government. (When a party asks the Supreme Court to review a case, the opposing party doesn't have to respond; if any of the 9 justices are possibly interested in hearing a case, the court will "call for a response." Obama and the DOJ have never responded to any cert petition in any of the eligibility cases, and the Court has never asked for a response.)
(2) Even if 2 justices are recused, it still takes 4 votes to grant cert.
