i had not heard that cj. Roberts clerk had removed the item from the docket and that the issue was never heard by the other justices of the SCOTUS.
who is the clerk? political stonewalling? (obviously)
Not sure, but it appears it is probably Danny Bickell. But I did a search yesterday to see if he was still a clerk there (I read something days ago that his name was scrubbed off the list) and I couldn't find his name any where among the clerks.
However, I don't know enough about the SC to know if there are clerks other than the ones assigned to each justice, who have other specific jobs. My search didn't turn up anything on that.
