What Will SCOTUS Do

[HBecwithFn7 296]

Orders are out - Drake not mentioned in the weekly orders! 

 

Looks like either a separate order or they're re-listing again for another week!

 

[n4p226r 105]

when is the next conference?

[springfieldxds 0]

still waiting for the orders 

[intercooler 41]

Looks like another week to wait

[Spartiati 63]

when is the next conference?

Looks like May 2nd.

when is the next conference?

 

May 2nd.  So we'll hear May 5th.  Maybe Cinco de Mayo will bring us good luck.

noooooooooooo

I'm getting an ulcer. Why do they play these games? We're but one advocacy group that hangs on these decisions as if they're life or death. It all seems a bit inhumane.

[HBecwithFn7 296]

when is the next conference?

 

This Friday.....  05/02, and we'd hear about the results the following monday..... just like we *didn't* hear today... 

[Spartiati 63]

Good news is after the May 2 conference date, the other conferences in May are scheduled for Thursdays so we will hear on Friday as opposed to waiting the weekend...

Well thats a plus.

[Newtonian 453]

Even this pessimist is somewhat encouraged. They turned down what appeared to be around 100 cases. I'm not familiar enough with the others that have been relisted to ascertain whether this case is more or less important than they are to the court. Nor have I any idea of the relationship between filing date and when the court decides one way or another. 

 

If other cases filed later were denied, that's good news. If not, they'll turn it down at some point.

Like I said in various places on here, the winner of the re-list prize so far this year is 7+ months of relisting. So don't hold your breath.

 

On the plus side, the conversion ratio of relisted cases to something other than denial is better.

Does anyone have a link to the SCOTUS site where the Drake case can be seen as "relisted"

 

Thanks.

If the scotusblog calendar is correct, then orders still aren't released until the following week, despite holding the conference on Thursdays.

Thanks Doug..

ScotusBlog is second hand info. Best to get the info from the docket itself.

Thanks Ryan! Good link

the wait is killing me....

[RubberBullets 65]

Which is why you guys are obsessing over nothing. It could relist over and over... and even if they grant it, then the waiting game begins all over again for them to hear the case. Really expending too much energy into this whole ordeal. Start getting eager when they submit their final opinion if the case gets heard.

No, if they grant it, briefs come and then it gets put on the calendar for orals. There's no waiting or extending. Once it's granted, it's rolling. 

[Jeff 13]

Please, oh please, let's roll!

Well yes its rolling, but once its granted they still have to hear arguements, vote, and write an opinion. End of summer at least. This whole thread is a JG Wentworth commercial. "Its my permit and I need it now". Patience is a virtue and humming over it like a kid on christmas eve wont speed the process

They most likely will hold this opinion until June 2015 but SCOTUS doesn't typically hold cases between terms.

Me, I'm being optimistic. In my little world they are going for summary dismissal and it's being relisted because they are debating a proper, detailed judicial test to put in the decision.

I'll roll with that optimism man, I like it

They are most likely watching the 9th. I predict relist for a couple more weeks then when gore responds in the 9th we get a grant.

The problem with that us the 9th was operating on a pretty finite timeline. If I understand it right, all the options are back on the table, and it can really drag out. Their record for this is 12 years.
