In reply to the discussion: Fuck SCOTUS for the 10 day stay they put on release of Trump's tax returns. [View all]StarfishSaver
(18,486 posts)32. No - the Circuit Justice who oversees a district doesn't have any more say-so over certiorari
than any of the other Justices.
Their role as Circuit Justice is largely administrative. Among other things, the Circuit Justice hears and decides requests for emergency stays. Sometimes, the Justice will refer such issues to the full Court, but they can and usually do dispose of them themselves. But the question of certiorari is taken directly to the full Court and voted on by all of the Justices - the Circuit Justice for the circuit from which the appeal is being brought has no special role or influence on the decision.
