Just saw this:
I’m told by a Supreme Court watcher that the lack of an announcement doesn’t mean the court definitely won’t hear Donofrio although he thinks it’s safe to say its unlikely the court won’t hear the case. The full orders aren’t due until Monday
Here:

Would someone help me through the negatives? What’s he saying?
If it's unlikely they won't, then it's likely they will. Double negative = positive. I'm not so sure this is the meaning that the author of the blog intended, though.
It sounds like they think the court will hear the case and just because it wasn’t listed today doesn’t mean that it won’t be listed Monday. jmo
