Docketing means nothing because to the best of my knowledge every case properly filed at the court receives a case docket number - many thousands of cases every year. Only a small fraction are ever heard. But this case has a much higher chance of actually being adjudicated because it invokes the Supreme Court's original jurisdiction.
This is correct. Being put on the docket just means the forms were correctly filled out and the filing fee was paid. The justices have not yet weighed in on it. It’s too early to make conclusions.

Putting it on the docket may not mean certiorari was granted. It may only mean that SCOTUS will consider whether to grant certiorari .
