If a case makes it on the docket, does that guarantee it gets heard?
Do you mean on the docket for the Supreme Court? Yes. If they "grant cert" then the case will be considered.

So, it's gonna be heard?
I think they are just showing the initial filings with the court. I see no order granting Cert
Ah, I see. Thanks!

someone posted this link on twitter: https://www.uscourts.gov/about-federal-courts/educational-resources/about-educational-outreach/activity-resources/supreme-1
"If the Justices decide to accept a case (grant a petition for certiorari), the case is placed on the docket."
That would show up in the orders as `Petition GRANTED`, no?
do you have an example showing this is wrong? its uscourts.gov lol
can someone show me a case where the record shows a case being docketed and then later declined to be heard?
hmm looking back at the cases on the scotus homepage, it does show docketed preceeding petition granted
all very confusing, it would be great if robert would pop in and tell us whats up in a sentence or two lol
Yeppers. If they grant cert then they case will be heard.
I do not see an Order of Cert from the SC, yet.
Generally a Justice will review the complaint. He/She may then direct further filings (response, brief, whatever). When the Court reviews those filings they will decide whether or not to grand Cert.
Hmm.. So, in light of this ruling on the case in PA, it's likely they will not grant cert on the TX case. Am I understanding it right?

Im not sure about how their electronic docketing system works. I dont think the fact that it made the electronic filing system/electronic docket that cert is granted. I just think its a way to keep up with the status. No cert, yet.
Oh wow.... that is news to me. the SCOTUS declined to take the case....
I honestly think that Texas is going to have standing problems so I sincerely doubt that gets heard
No, the denied the Kelly case
Texas case is docketed
Louisiana joined in w texas
Right... but I dont see an order granting Cert on the Texas case. It might happen but so far it has not
Read up... just because the case is listed on that website does not mean Cert has been granted.
They docketed Kelly's case, too.

I know I'm incredibly late coming in, but I just have to say I'm so excited to see Ted cruz offering to present. I voted for him over trump the first time as a while in when I was protesting against trump (2016). I like how he thinks.
LOL... yikes
From the bit that I had read the best case that I have seen was the Kelly case. I still thought it would fail. But it was the best of the lot, imo.
so that doesnt bode well for the Texas case
Will we see a reason behind the Kelly case denial?
I feel like that would be something people would wanna know
They might with a case about the election. But generally its like a one or two sentence order saying "Cert denied"
I'm trying to find it, already 🙂
Yes. I agree. But generally when Cert is denied it means the court agreed with the lower court. In this case the PA Supreme Court.
It may be due to the Texas case being filed covering what was in the Kelly case was well as a wider array of issues with other states since there weren't any explanations or dissents that came with it.
@Fefe, you just advanced to level 1!
If you can believe the AP, the gist of it was that the outcome was unlikely to change anything, therefore, why waste our time?
That kinda makes me think the TX case has a shot, as it calls into question more than enough electoral votes to affect the outcome of the election, but that standing issue is probably going to require some real word-magic to convince people..
Certainly possible but I rather doubt it. Either the Kelly case had merit or it didn't.
They SCOTUS has combined similar cases hundreds or more likely thousands of times.
So if that was the case they would just join the cases and rule on them both
