What happened is that an Amicus Brief was already filed along with the motion to accept the filing. They did permit him to file it and then denied Cert. The reason they did that was to discourage the filer of the Amicus brief from filing another suit with the same arguments. In short, they just refused to hear the case and this particular one is over.
Hope that helped.
It’s so difficult to believe the Supreme Court is punting on this one. It seems to me it’s the straw that will break the Constitution’s back.
Thank you - I’m glad you registered. I don’t particularly like your message, but it does make sense.
Awww...how nice. </sarcasm>

***Of all the cases filed with the SCOTUS, how many have had 2 forwarded conferences? That strikes me as very rare. Is it completely unique?
Also, I know that 99.5% of cases don’t get writ of cert, but what percentage of cases get forwarded for conference? I’ve asked around and only gotten silence on that question.
