>a couple days until brunson
Brunson is scheduled for a simple conference on Jan. 6. The SC has three conference days scheduled for January. One of them is this Friday. Conferences are routine meetings where the justices consider petitions for hearings. If four or more justices agree to grant a petitioner a hearing, then a hearing is scheduled. No one will be gotten rid of due to a SC conference.
