   If you wonder what it means that the Supreme Court has denied certiorari before judgment, see my blog post from last week:

   Anyone who attributes a motive to the Supreme Court is making stuff up.

   We don't know why they did this.

     @Teri_Kanefield But by virtue of what you wrote there:

     "because (1) the matter was of national importance and (2) the matter needed to be decided quickly"

     it would seem they have decided that a) it's not of importance or b) that no speed is necessary. I understand it now goes to the Appeals court Jan 9, and so delay, delay, delay.

     It keeps going to my point that the slow and deliberate nature of the court system is going to lead to the elimination of the slow and deliberate court system once the nation has ceased to be nation of laws Jan 25, 2025.

     Nope. You cannot assume that is their reason.

     @Teri_Kanefield I know. In any event, sadly, I guess you will be on the receiving end of a lot of the angst and anger from those who follow you. We don't mean it. Consider it a measure of the respect we have for the depth of your insight and your ability to patiently explain to us.

     In my mind, as soon as I saw the headline, I thought to myself, "I wonder what Teri is going to say."
