It’s not the clerks. I’m thinking the Supes don’t wanna touch it.

I think Justices Thomas and Scalia have more guts than people give them credit for. I think Alito and Roberts also think the Constitution means something and Kennedy may also agree.

...agreed. Any clerk would be out on his ear if they were truly this incompetent. They’ve been given instructions to kill time.

I’m sure they don’t, no one wants to be the bearer of bad news. But they took this job on and they have a responsibility to here cases that are constitutionally relevant and to not deserves impeachment in my opinion.

If that were the case I keep thinking that they, being at least Thomas would have simply denied Donofrio’s case the second time it was submitted. It could be the Court is divided down the middle or even less, with most of them preferring to punt on the issue.
