For whatever reason, reporters weren’t allowed in to the dinner until after these comments were made. FedSoc convention normally very open to press but weirdly secretive when it comes to the big dinner.

Just to be clear, #SCOTUS has done nothing to indicate any interest in this case besides calling for a response—something that a *single* justice can request, and that is *not* remotely predictive of a cert. grant. Everything else is standard practice for *all* cases filed in the Supreme Court.
