They ALL go to the table. Most never get mentioned.

“the next step is to prepare a “petition for certiorari.” This is the document the Court will read in order to decide whether to hear a case. In that document, you will include a history of the case, the basic facts, and the important legal issues that your case presents. Your opponent will also have a chance to file a response, and other interested parties may file briefs in support or against the petition. Your file will then go to a pool of Supreme Court clerks, who will review all of the documents, summarize them for the justices, and include a recommendation on whether to take the case. The justices then make a final decision. If they decide to hear a case, they will issue a “writ of certiorari.” Every year, the Supreme Court receives about 10,000 petitions for certiorari, but only hears about 80 of them.”

“Brunsons were not dead-listed.”

Really? And just how do you know that. It is scheduled for review - as are hundreds of others - on 6 Jan. The US Government has declined to respond. Why do YOU think the government doesn’t care to respond?

Why do YOU think the government doesn’t care to respond?

A better question, IMO, is...
Why DIDN'T the government respond?
We can't answer that, can we. We're not the government.

What we think individually doesn't matter.
What is the Solicitor General thinking? /rhetorical question

CASE DISTRIBUTION SCHEDULE – OCTOBER TERM 2022

It's a good thing then that there are only 8 petitions that day instead of 80.
(scroll down, right hand side under Conference...Jan. 6)

Case Distribution Schedule

The Case Distribution Schedule identifies the dates on which petitions for writs of certiorari, along with corresponding briefs in opposition and reply briefs, will be distributed to the Justices. It also identifies the dates on which those petitions are scheduled to be considered by the Justices at Conference, although this schedule is subject to change.

> “And just how do you know that.”

It was politely explained to you that the procedures by the clerks do not dead-list a cert application that they intend to send over to conference.

Dead-list cert applications are handled at the Clerk level, they are never sent to the Justices.

The remaining listed applications are sent for review by all 9 Justices for voting which applications will go forward and which will be denied. Brunson will be reviewed this coming January 6.

This is the last piece of polite information you’re getting from me. No one needs your sh*tty attitude on any thread.
