Conference scheduled for January 6. Outcomes for this I think are: 1) Most likely, reject the petition. This is what statistics would indicate. 2) Least likely, agree to the petition via summary judgment. 3) medium likely, order briefs. 4). Low to medium likely, order oral arguments.
Clerks and inferior courts are out of the game, at least until the conference decision is in, probably middle to late January.
I perhaps should have added an additional least likely that the petition could be remanded to a fed district court for fact finding. To me, facts are simple and laid out already. The root decision is based on a US Magistrate ruling, which is not fact finding but more along the line of probable cause. Seems to me that ship has already sailed. For sure though, four or more Justices have already passed on that option for now.
Keep in touch if you want. I’ll not likely post in this threed further. The OP post from the above link has better detail for wrapping opinions around, agree or disagree.
An 4-piece bucket of KFC Crispy, cooked "low to medium likely", is closer to anything regarding a factual resemblance to the outcome of Brunson than the absolute nonsense you just postulated.
"2) Least likely, agree to the petition via summary judgment."
I gotta tell you, this one was a hoot. Cert-tastically insane!
But look, just to finishing punching down on you...some SCOTUS clerk is going to soon put Brunson in the round file for dismissal, and that dismissal list will issue Dec. 12 or Jan. 23. And as I said on the other thread -- which is 2 more threads than this crap ever deserved -- I will be back to collect...
