It only takes four justices to grant certiorari ... so the fact that there is four conservative justices without Roberts makes me thing that if there is something that percolates that high, Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Barrett, and Kavenaugh will have four votes among the five to green light the hearing

The question then is will it be on the rocket docket (one would think they would have to take it immediately) and hear the case. Lots and lots of variables thus far.

Still no guarantee the Supreme Court will take it up. When was the last time the Supreme Court took up a case that had not been decided in a lower court but was instead dismissed by lower courts at every level?
