In reply to the discussion: Fuck SCOTUS for the 10 day stay they put on release of Trump's tax returns. [View all]jberryhill
(62,444 posts)7. What's depressing about the "fuck the rule of law" contingent here
Is that the court has granted a couple of days to file a petition for certiorari.
They actually havent agreed to take the case, but they dont have a petition for cert in front of them to deny if they wanted to.
But, yes, any dispute like this one - directly involving a conflict between two constitutional actors - is going to at least get a review of a cert petition, and obviously is going to get a stay pending review because that bell cant be unrung.
And no it doesnt have any effect on these people that every lawyer on DU said this is exactly what would happen.

Yep. I'm guessing most of those commenting don't know that the deadline for filing a cert petition

No - the Circuit Justice who oversees a district doesn't have any more say-so over certiorari
