Re: Our Bet...
From the Court
There is sufficient reason for us to decline at this time to review the federal questions asserted to be present.

I think that means we have a draw.

If you agree, I propose we eat our Hersey bars and wait for the next bet.

I know we have talked about this before...but what is it with this SC? Why do they make such narrow rulings in general...and in this situation, they didn't even make a decision?

Is this a recent phenomenon or has this been a historical pattern with the SC?

I know this is complicated stuff, but win or lose, shouldn't they have been able to be more definitive OR was this the only type of ruling that would guarantee getting a 9-0 vote.

Solomon would have made a decision.
