Chief Justice ultimately decides what case will be reviewed - Bloody John Roberts strikes again?
This was just a procedural decision, NOT a decision on the substance of the matter (i.e. is DACA constitutional?). All that happened here is that the Supremes (well, 4 of them) decided NOT to go outside of normal judicial procedures, which are to have a District Court decision appealed to the Circuit Court, and only then to the Supremes. Nothing unusual about that at all - which doesn’t mean that I like this decision, but for some unknown reason they didn’t consult with me on it. :>)
No, Roberts has exactly one vote - just like the other eight.
Pappy Francis of Rome wins, Roberts is working for sainthood. The devil in the details, we the people, are funding Rome’s human trafficking.
Sorry, but that is wrong. The Chief Justice does not have that much power. There has to be 4 votes to hear a case.
