That’s great information from the anon that I didn’t know before. Thank you foldy for passing such a good explanation on to us.
Let’s hope Roberts doesn’t shuffle the assignments yet again once the new Justice is confirmed.
Overnight thoughts on SCOTUS...
Court is 8.
4-4 ties remand back to the decision of the “last” court.
For ANY decision to have impact, the vote must be 5-3.
But, overall, 5 justices voting the same is a decision on a 9 member court, also.
At the moment nothing has really changed.
Ginsberg’s ideology for the court is still held by the leftists; they will vote together in homage.
From now until they retire/die.
Roberts is the Court’s keystone at this moment.
