On November 25, the U.S. Supreme Court revealed that it had made no decision on whether to hear Carney v Adams, 19-309 at its November 22 conference.  That makes three conferences in a row in which the court has considered the case, but made no decision.

The Third Circuit had invalidated a Delaware constitutional provision, saying on most state courts, no one may be appointed to a judicial position unless the person is a member of a party that has registration of at least 5% of the state total.  In the entire history of Delaware’s voter registration, no party other than the Democratic or Republican Parties has ever met that standard.
