by over two months as requested by the House? (In fact, in theory the deadline for filing a petition for cert could have been extended until March).

edit: I originally calculated the due date for Trump's petition for certiorari from the date of the DC Circuit's decision (mid October). I should have measured it from the date that the DC Circuit denied Trump's petition for reconsideration (mid-November).

They haven't agreed to take the case yet. jberryhill Nov 2019 #8

Yep. I'm guessing most of those commenting don't know that the deadline for filing a cert petition onenote Nov 2019 #14

There was no reason for them to intervene Miguelito Loveless Nov 2019 #3

Actually, there was every reason for them to do just what they did StarfishSaver Nov 2019 #11

There were no reported dissents to the decision. onenote Nov 2019 #4

Thank you, Pretzel - I'm sure all of the DU lawyers appreciate that! StarfishSaver Nov 2019 #27

You're very welcome, PRETZEL Nov 2019 #31

No - the Circuit Justice who oversees a district doesn't have any more say-so over certiorari StarfishSaver Nov 2019 #32

ok, thanks nt PRETZEL Nov 2019 #33

Trump originally had until mid-February to file a petition for certiorari onenote Nov 2019 #19

Thanks, wasn't aware of that PRETZEL Nov 2019 #20

The Court doesn't really "hear the briefs" at this point StarfishSaver Nov 2019 #21

Thanks, that makes alot of sense, nt PRETZEL Nov 2019 #22

They actually shortened the normal time jberryhill Nov 2019 #28

While that's edifying, you're not very nice donkeypoofed Nov 2019 #34

I don't think "Fuck SCOTUS" is very nice jberryhill Nov 2019 #35

OP was expressing anger; you were expressing disgust donkeypoofed Nov 2019 #37

Anger at a Democratic win? jberryhill Nov 2019 #38

They can't stop it, this is just a few days' delay FakeNoose Nov 2019 #30

Unless SCOTUS grants cert...then they will hear the case in June AncientGeezer Nov 2019 #40
