The good ole boy network is nabbed again!!!!!!!!!
High court undoes Scalia
"I think it reasonably probable that four justices will vote to grant certiorari,” Scalia said, using the legal term to describe the way the court decides to hear most appeals, “and significantly possible that the judgment below will be reversed.”
Not only did the justices say Monday they were leaving the state court order in place, there were not even four votes to hear the companies’ full appeal. And the court provided no explanation of its action.
Scalia said through a court spokeswoman that he also had no comment on the matter.
Robert Peck, the Washington-based lawyer representing the Louisiana smokers at the Supreme Court, recalled thinking Scalia had made unwarranted assumptions about the case.
“I was really rather surprised he would issue the stay,” Peck said of Scalia’s order blocking the judgment from taking effect.
