>> Also pose this question...if the papers on this were filed SECRETLY with the court
“Papers filed” does not equal “papers read and acted upon by the justices”.
Are you serious?
I’m referring to the process.
It can’t be allowed that you file secret arguments with the court, to the effect a governmental system ie Medicare payments will collapse if the law is struck down.
They must be publically available and available to opponents.
Suppose in a murder trial, or a fraud trial, the state was able to file something with the judge, or put something in the pipeline to the jury, that the defense didn’t even know about?
My comment didn’t relate to what SCOTUS decided to do with the filings.
The process can’t be furtive and behind the scenes.
That would always be WRONG.
