To agree to hear the case? I think they only need 4 to do that.
But I reserve the right to be wrong.
Someone stated earlier that because it was a “stay” they needed 5 not 4.
I also reserve the right to be wrong.
see my post above.
They only need 4 votes to accept the case...BUT, they also have to show that they’ll carry the day (5 Justices on the final ruling).
I just read it over at Scotusblog. You were right, I was wrong. My bad.
