I thought SCOTUS turned it down afew weeks ago, but have now reconsidered?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From what I remember, they did not pick it to consider. They always have numerous cases sent to them, and they only consider a few of them as possible. And out of those, they only pick a few to actually hear. I am not using the right terminology obviously. I think it was re-filed by the Brunsons or whatever their name is, but not sure.
Correct. They filed a Petition for Rehearing, which has been distributed for 02/17/17 conference; i.e., to discuss whether the Supremes do or do not want to hear the case.
