Are you people this naive, this stupid about Supreme Court procedures to believe there is anything significant about the mere conferencing of this case? Nearly every one of the thousands of petitions for certiorori (requests to the SCOTUS to hear a case) that are filed each year are “considered” by the nine justices at their weekly conference. At these conferences, the justices summarily reject the overwhelming vast majority of cases without discussion....
So how do the SC justices WHICH cases to consider? They must have some type of impact or weight on our legal system/constitution then to be considered.
Would you not consider a case dealing with the eligibility of the highest public office in the land to merit consideration over thousands of other cases?
Unfortunately, they’ve shown time and time again that they do not consider this to be a matter worthy of their attention.
Not necessarily. See comment no. 43, below.
