Can anyone say with 100% certainty that Scalia did in fact refer the Wrotnowski case for conference? It's entirely possible that what was posted on the web page docketing system never actually took place. I don't think anyone here can say honestly that the justices check on the web docket information for accuracy. Many have probably never even looked at that version.

From the SCOTUS web site itself:

"Caution: These electronic orders may contain computer-generated errors or other deviations from the official printed versions. [snip] In case of discrepancies between the print and electronic versions of orders, the print version controls.

The quest becomes, has anyone verified for a fact that the PRINT version has the identical docketing information? That is, does the print record state that Scalia refered Wrot's case for conference?

***Errors? Deviations? Discrepancies? Doesn’t anyone proof read anymore?
