2. 'Old' story;

this happened last Thursday, and was discussed around here. It's good, but far from a very positive outcome.

3. I don't know why this keeps popping up, because it has very little chance

of going anywhere. It's a petition for a writ of mandamus by a few pro se litigants and it isn't really being "advanced."

Every petition that is docketed at the U.S. Supreme Court, and remains on the docket, will eventually be distributed for a conference, usually held on a Friday. The date of the conference depends upon whether or not the Court is in session, in recess or on vacation. (There were 39 conferences during the 2011 Term.) Does this mean the Court will discuss each petition distributed during their conference? Absolutely not! Although this is a very closely guarded secret, I would estimate that, at best, only 20-25% of the petitions distributed for a given conference are actually discussed during that conference and few, if any, of those discussed, are granted. Those which aren’t discussed, become automatically denied.

In any event, “distributed for conference” is a somewhat misleading phrase.

4. Not really

They docket all cases filed with them - and then reject the vast majority. It means nothing - don't forget Orly Taitz had birther cases that got this far.

5. Just the idea it's out there

Will annoy the pumpkin maggot.
I'm good with anything that annoys him.

6. Not this again

c'mon, this is getting old...save the excitement for something that's real. This is worse than the Stein recount hype. Wait until they have something solid on Drump before peddling false hopes please.
