You haven’t even provided one single example of a similar Petition that followed the same path with SCOTUS that didn’t end up DENIED.

Step #1 Petition filed
Step #2 Solicitor General waives right to Respond
Step #3 Petition is scheduled for Conference
Step #4 Clerk doesn’t make a Call for a Response before the scheduled Conference

Every single Petition that has followed these 4 steps like the Brunsons’ petition has ended up being Denied. Numerous Clerks who have worked for the Court have said that it’s because the Petitions are Dead Listed due to none of the Justices and their Clerks requesting to even put the Petition on the Discuss List. If any of them seek for a Petition to be on the Discuss List then they’ll ask the Clerk to make a Call for a Response.

The Brunsons’ Petition has NOT had any Call for a Response made. So, it can’t have been on the Discuss List for very long and most likely it’s not and every day its odds of getting on the Discuss List goes down considerably.

What is your source, if any, that there has been a Call for a Response made? And what is your reasoning that their Petition is on the Discuss List if no Call for a Response has been made?

Are you actually intelligent and honest enough to understand this? If yes, then please demonstrate this. If not, it’s obviously a waste of time to discuss further.

Name each and every one of them. I am waiting.

You ass/u/me much:
The Screening Process
Once the opposition to a cert petition is either filed with the Court or waived, the screening process begins. Screening is performed by a law clerk assigned from the "cert pool" of clerks working for each of the Supreme Court justices... The cert pool clerk will read all the briefs and will draft a detailed memo summarizing the proceedings below, the arguments for and against granting cert, and a recommendation for what action the Court should take. The cert pool memo is then distributed to the justices, who each have their own procedures for review.
Once the justices and their clerks have reviewed the cert pool memo, a few cases will be scheduled for discussion at the justices' weekly conference. For cert to be granted, four justices must vote in favor.
