>Wow – big news out of the Supreme Court’s order list this morning. The Court denied *every* pending Second Amendment cert petition.

They had the 4 votes needed, it may mean they didn’t have the 5th vote that would have mattered.

These rejections may be more insidious than what it appears. I couldn't find the actual rule to verify this (been out of the law game for 17 years, and didn't practice before the Supreme Court anyway), but my memory from law school was that only four votes were needed to accept a cert petition. Which would imply that at least one of the four more conservative justices did not vote in favor. Hopefully, someone on the forum can enlighten us further.
