I should note that my prior post contained:
“Note, the law and its requirements in 3USC2 are not dependent on the SCOTUS decision in order to be made operative ? But, the court probably will direct “follow the law” in result of the case.”
The court could, of course use that fact in not taking up the case... unless there are other issues in the briefs (or not) that require that they should.
It is possible that they could “grant the relief” requested while doing so by refusing to take the case.
But, if people were following the law, we wouldn’t be before the court asking those others be directed to follow it ?
