“So they heard the case on the day of a conference.”
no such thing
Heard = ” Any proceeding before a Judge or other magistrate, w/o a jury in which evidence and/or argument is presented to determine some issue of fact or both issues of fact and law. Etc” (defintion supplied by you. Well done!)
conference = ” The Justices meet in a private conference to discuss cases argued earlier that week. The Justices also discuss and vote on petitions for review” (from Supreme court website)
There is no “proceeding before a judge” on conference days. The only people in attendene are the judges. They mean different things.
“So do they come to the conclusion?… They read the case and they make decisions on it”
Even if they did. (and Earlier I said I’m sure they sometimes read it, and you said they “almost alays read it)
That in no way whatsoever changes the fact that the case was dismissed for being moot, as I said it would
“So they did Hear the case,”
They didnt. They denied Certiorari
“I gave you the definition of “Hearing” – 2 times already.”
YEs. it was an excellent defnition.
Thank you very much for supplying it. You should read it as it says CLEARLY that a hearing is when evidence/arguments are presented before a judge. NOT when judges gater and decide whther to accept a case.
It is impossible to have read the definition and think “hearing” and conference are interchangeable
“And like you said -“and if you have any lingering questions I’ll of course gladly answer”!”
I Do!
Here’s what I find confusing.
You say the court “heard” the case.
Yet they denied Certiorari (do you argu on this fact as well?)
What would have happened if the court granted Certiorari. In other words LEts’ say Gorsuch , ALito and Thomas convinced 2 others that they should take the case.
Would would that mean? they agree to hear a case they already heard?
What do you think Granting Certiorari means?
