Thanks for the clarification, Billybob.

I have a question to ask you, it came from an exchange on Intrade’s forum.

The contention is that for the Supreme Court, “all cases that the justice considers properly filed are sent to conference.” Is that true? Wasn’t there at least one other case that was denied in SCOTUS and re-submitted?

Has there ever been an issue where there were 5 cases concurrently before the SCOTUS and 3 of them were forwarded for conference? Would forwarding the issue rather than just denying without comment be an indicator of legitimacy once it’s happened 3 times?

No, all cases referred to the Court are NOT conferenced. To the contrary, 99.5% are rejected without conferences. Plus, only cases that are briefed and argued are actually confedrenced.

Requests for Emergency Relief are "referred" to the other Justices when the ONE Justice who has the case things that relief MIGHT be appropriate. I've talked about this process for about four months, now.
