re: #175 darthstar

If they’re going to hear him out for…reasons…they should require him to argue his case himself so that they have to be subjected to his leaky diaper stench while he shouts that THEY OWE HIM and they should declare him king.

Which is the real reason this is going nowhere, because none of those arguing in favor of granting cert can articulate a reason for doing so that outweighs the headache of bringing the circus to town. Their colleagues aren’t convinced the appeal can succeed, any arguments about “duty” or “obligation” to hear the appeal are falling flat, and the months of increased furor from both sides is not worth it. So what we’re going to see is the majority of the bench saying “We deny certiorari” and the 1-2 fascism fetishists saying “We really wanted to hear this appeal, but the others on the bench were a bunch of meanies so no can do.”
