Being picked is an extreme long shot (less than 1% of cases) but disappointing nonetheless.
What this means is that we need to persist in these challenges on our own.

It leaves you feeling like just another let down with little hope for change .
Being picked and was already filled with assumption it was already going to go like this.
I’m not sure what you mean by “being picked”.

If any of these decisions were favorable to the offender, they’d a had a better shot.. with the intent of overturning.
Although in the 6th circuit they denied cert also. Too bad up there, that even as the law of the land(for them) that only SO’s able to pay up, and lawyer up are getting removed.
Exactly….scotus declined to grant Cert in October or November 2017 and you either have to file on your own or continue to hope that the Aclu can negotiate a deal that can actually pass Michigan’s house and senate…..in other words, not happening anytime soon
And so the battle continues until we land that one special case that SCOTUS will be willing to hear. This really blows, but eventually we will get our turn to shine.
So very predictable. Thanks for watching.
It’s like if someone just stabbed me in the heart 3 times. This is really disappointing.
Is all lost then?
No – they chose not to hear the cases. Nothing to lose.
