So, after commenting here earlier today w links of the 2 cases I could see hanging there on the scotus docket, I see they both say “distributed for conference on 1/22/21”

Wanted to know what that means... so here is a 2012 article that explains it. Basically few percentage of the cases that end up at their doorstep ever get looked at. They eventually go into a “conference” but only a very small percentage of those get heard that day.

If a case doesn’t get heard on the day of its designated conference, it’s automatically denied.

So that’s that. FUCK SCOTUS. We no longer have 3 working branches of government .
