As a supplement to what I wrote above, please also refer to this site: http://blogs.reuters.com/alison-frankel/2016/05/27/the-rise-and-apparent-decline-of-sealed-petitions-at-the-supreme-court/<br /><br />They state: "It turns out that the Supreme Court has permitted sealed cert petitions in more than 130 cases since 1988...the justices have denied 29 motions to file under seal, according to Westlaw. The court is four times as likely to grant a seal motion, in other words, than to deny it."<br /><br />Now, do I *guarantee* the case will be heard? Of course not.

P...I agree with Bill, this whole post is nonsense.<br /><br />Permitting a writ to be submitted under seal is a mechanical process that indicates exactly nothing about the likelihood of the court hearing the appeal. It doesn't mean that the court has any particular interest in this case, it just means that the appellant has met the very low standard required to apply for cert under seal.<br /><br />The U.S. Supreme Court is not going to take this case. It's not even a remote possibility. There isn't really a federal question involved and the alleged coordination between Walker's campaign and outside groups isn't illegal under state law. And they definitely won't touch the recusal issue either because that's purely a question of state law.<br /><br />This whole John Doe thing has been dumb and desperate, and I say that as someone who has no love for Scott Walker.Jasonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6180226403686462298.post-1865290379506984632016-08-10T00:58:07.648-05:002016-08-10T00:58:07.648-05:00Does anyone know if they actually destroyed any ev...Does anyone know if they actually destroyed any evidence?

Now that the US Supreme Court may very well take up the case he wants to retire? I hope he knows that retiring won't protect him if he is compicit in trying to protect Walker, Club for Growth, and others from collusion in regards to Walkers recall election funds.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
