Lin Wood update on SCOTUS:
No word from SCOTUS yet on whether they will allow the election cases to proceed. The cases were set for conference today and while I claim no firsthand knowledge of how the Court operates, I assume the Justices confer together in private. Perhaps we will learn the decisions on Monday on whether the writs of certiorari will be granted. If so, the cases can proceed. A grant of certiorari requires that a minimum of 4 Justices vote in favor of granting the review. Hope that helps.
Someone on TGA explained this before they do this once a month, maybe? They have hundreds of cases scheduled for "Conference" the cases get split up between 8 of the Justices ( so many per justice ) and their clerks actually do the recommending if any cases have merit, and then the justices look at those? that is the way I understood it, it has been a couple weeks ago that someone explained it.
It does. Thank you.
