The Dark Ages would be very appropriate. Many people don't understand the huge consequences of a ruling that upholds either of these cases.

Maybe, maybe not. If SCOTUS denies cert on standing and does NOT remand, the case is dead. If they deny cert on standing and tell the court it can rehear the case with parties that have standing, then the decision might, or might not, come out the same, IF the court or the party without standing finds a party with standing to take the case.

If it denies cert to Brewer, the preliminary injunction remains, and the case will be decided on the merits. A denial of cert will not address any standing issues in Brewer.

@Shoes I don't see how Diaz can survive a favorable outcome unless the Sup. Ct. elevates sexual orientation to intermediate scrutiny as the 2nd Circuit has or unless the court creates a more stringent rational basis review for sexual orientation as did the First Circuit and as SCOTUS has done in Romer and Lawrence. There is something significant to be said about taking a right away once it is granted.

In an ultimate sense, as in the Supreme Court hearing the merits of Diaz after the merits were decided by the Ninth Circuit, you would be right. In the district court that will decide Diaz, a favorable ruling to the plaintiffs is mandated by Perry.

It is significant that Michael Ejercito, writing here as "Shoes Thrower" is not now, nor has he ever been, an attorney. Therefore, one may ignore his homophobic trolling.

And on the other hand, you are still not a lawyer … so stop pretending to be one.
