Thats what I get for selecting the wrong Friday.
Post fixed. Not withstanding the wrong Friday, the orders are going to be released the following Monday.

 

[Coyote33]

So, another let-down today? Nothing came out of this yet again?
Should start doing a pool on IF anything will come out and when, and if so, positive or negative.

We didn’t expect anything today. The court posts orders on Mondays, not Fridays.

 

[Love Machine]

There could be something early thus weekend, but I doubt it.

Sort of, but not always.

Often when they decide to hear a case that has a metric Shit ton of nuance, they do announce it at the close of normal business on Friday to allow council a couple extra days to prepare.

How much nuance is in Snope?
They already kicked it back telling the 4th to reconsider in light of NYSRPA.
And the en banc, pretty much said no thanks.
Scotus can almost take the dissent and rubber stamp it.

 

[Hustler One]

So, SCOTUS hasnt granted clitori yet?

I absolutely agree, but there might be some procedural nuance or potential deficiency they need to flesh out

Agree - the dissent speaks to the absurdity of the majority decision.
Would love to see them bring in Canjura even though it isn't a firearms case - that would link on the fact that a semiautomatic has no difference in lethality than a bolt or pump action.

 

[sbhaven]

Well its Monday, guess we'll find out at 9:30am if SCOTUS kicks the can down the road again or not.

Pepper your angus for more disappointment

 

[Picton]

Pepper your angus

Wha?

 

[CatSnoutSoup]

Wha?

If Snope doesn't get cert today then I am going to have a beef with SCOTUS.

No mention of snope or ocean state again.

I will say that the list of denies is long again. Not sure how quickly they come in, but it does seem like they are cleaning out cases they are not interested in.

Not seeing anything for Snope or Ocean State.

Edit to add: Another conference day on March 7th with orders the following Monday, March 10 at 9:30am.

 

[Lokdog]

WTF!

 

[DarthRevan]

Killing me smalls.

[LittleCalm]

Perhaps cleaning the decks before looking too eager to take a major 2A case? I think someone mentioned that earlier.

 

[VTski4x4]

This is getting comical. Hopefully they release some more orders today. If it gets relisted for conference again, that's gotta be some kind of record - no?

 

[quinnjalan]

Ugh, is there anything left of that can. They kicked the snot out of it at this point.

 

[Parker Schreiber]

I'm wondering if there's a standoff, where the Supreme Court is waiting for the 9th Circuit to finally issue a decision in Duncan v. Bonta. It's been almost a year since the 9th circuit heard the case en banc for the second time, so I wonder if they are waiting for the Supreme Court.

I think Dobbs still has it beat, and it was just as controversial of a case to take

WTF scotus

 

[lutstribe]

If its not granted this term the petitioners would have to refile for next term 3 months left for conferences

 

[pastera]

I think Dobbs still has it beat, and it was just as controversial of a case to take

Dobbs was more controversial in its subject matter than (Snope * Ocean State)^3
Every woman and many men in the US had an opinion on Dobbs, for or against, and most held strong opinions.
A small cohort of gun banners care about Snope & Ocean State enough to be actively vocal. A similar number of patriots are similarly involved from the pro side.

 

[Nightshift]

If it gets relisted for conference again, that's gotta be some kind of record - no?

As Bianchi v. Frosh, distributed for conference 3 times before it was GVR'd
As Snope v Brown, distributed for conference 5 times now. 6 if it gets re-listed for March 7th.
Yes, WTF?
