Wonder what Scalia did?
Inner workings are corrupt. With the partisan nature of the court in stopping baby’s heartbeat and the clearly racist leanings of the self proclaimed Latina.. it’s no wonder justice is not blind.
Never knew about this part of the process.
Clerks write opinions.too.
“the Supreme Court’s “cert pool,” an administrative division of labor that allows for efficient review of the deluge of petitions the justices receive each term”
Here is another area the progressive-Left deep state operates, which is not in either the elected or appointed positions of government in any branch, but behind them.
By opting out of the cert pool, as Roberts did not, Gorsuch is keeping HIS review of incoming petitions to the court done by his staff and his staff alone, not influenced by the “cert pool” stacked with Liberals/Progressives/Leftists.
to be an independent thinker, one must first leave the echo chamber.
The liberal judges are going to hate this. As it is now, the clerks have way too much discretion to recommend or deny cases to the USSC. Gorsuch will be able to screen partisan cases which might otherwise be advanced by leftist clerks, and recommend cases which actually benefit the people in general.
Interesting. I didn’t know, either - and I’d bet most people don’t.
It says the practice was introduced in 1973 by Burger. The great liberal Burger court...
There are 8,000 cases a year submitted to the Supreme Court. There is no way the justices could read all of the appeals orders and opinions. The clerks read and summarize them. They then probably write a paragraph or two as to accept or reject.
They then put the rejects in one pile and the accepts in a smaller pile for the justices to review. The clerks are doing their clerks job and the justices ate doing.
Interesting, never heard of this labor pool before.
