So, how it works is this:
It goes to the circuit justice. He can either decide to refer it to the full court (with a recommendation, but that’s behind the scenes stuff we don’t see) or handle it himself. If he handles it himself and says no, then yes, you can ask another justice. That justice has the same options. And it continues. So, yes, technically. the whole court can be asked. But that rarely happens because a justice is going to refer any matter that is debatable to the full court. Usually only the slam dunks are handled by individual justices. So most people get the hint. And those that don’t are going to be referred by the second justice to the whole court because obviously it isn’t going to stop until the hint is smacked over the head.
BTW, it’s extremely rare for the whole Court to go against an individual justice’s public action. (Not the same as that secretive recommendation.) We are talking a justice has had a stroke and is issuing crazy stuff rare.
I have a fairly good understanding of the Circuit Court
process, but this is the Supreme Court.
The article was written to make it seem like the full
Supreme Court addressed this issue. It didn’t, and
that prompted me to address what the alternatives were
now.
I appreciate your thoughts on this. Take care.
I believe the racist satomayor did the same thing with the New Haven’s firefighters case when she was on the federal court. It finally made its way to the SCOTUS when she was on the court (2013?).
They voted in favor of the New Haven FF and she lost.
A Freeper with law knowledge could fill in the blanks.
Well, this IS crazy. The livelihoods of thousands is at stake, not to mention any concept of liberty. I mean, I got the vaccine and still believe it was an easy clear and correct choice, but, I also defend the rights of others to disagree in their own case.
I’ll say it again - our system has a serious flaw, here.
“ARE” at stake. (Long day)
