Yes, and if it goes further, Obama and the Dems would be laying bricks.

Every cert. petition filed with the Court is listed for a conference. There are often 100 or more cases listed for each conference. Not all are actually discussed; prior to the conference, each Justice privately circulates a list of cases that they think should be discussed. If a case is not listed by any of the 9 justices, it is not discussed and an order comes down saying the petition for cert. is denied. Those lists are not made public, so we have no way to know if a case is actually "discussed."
