-- It denied the motion for Kagan and Sotomayor to recuse themselves? Can you show me where they responded specifically to that motion - as opposed to simply denying the request to re-consider the case? --

I don't think there is any particularized response, to any of those eligibility petitions and motions.

-- The only reason the case could be re-filed was because the court never gave a legal response to the motion for Kagan and Sotomayor to recuse themselves. --

That's not so, and is generally the point I was making before. A loser can petition either with, or without having received a substantive response.

The other general point I was making was that SCOTUS doesn't have any obligation to give a reason for its rejections of taking up a case.

OK, it looks like since they didn’t respond to the MOTION TO RECUSE but instead relabeled it as just a “request”, SCOTUS conceded that Kagan and Sotomayor would recuse themselves but then they didn’t recuse themselves.

IOW, SCOTUS tried to change the actual legal document/motion so they didn’t have to give an answer. Because they didn’t answer on time they conceded to the motion but then didn’t actually do what they had conceded that they would do (recuse Kagan and Sotomayor).

This is the biggest pile of steaming horseshit I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a lot.

We have a lawless Supreme Court. Period. Even THEY don’t follow their own word OR the rules of the judiciary.

Article III says that “The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold thier Offices during good Behaviour...”

Breaking their word and ignoring the rules of the court is not “good behavior”. These so-called “justices” need to go.
