All of us, every single man, woman, and child on the face of the Earth were born with the same unalienable rights; to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And, if the governments of the world can't get that through their thick skulls, then, regime change will be necessary.

So the non major story of the day....WTF happened with SCOTUS/COLB?
Several people are saying that, because Donofrio's case was not among the release showing two cases for which certiorari were granted, his stay-as-petition-for-cert was denied. Even the law blog at The Wall Street Journal is reporting as such. As much as I think it very probably was in fact denied, nothing I have seen so far--including the order list distributed today--suggests 100 percent that cert was either denied or granted.
Perhaps I'm missing something, but I cannot find anything that conclusively points toward denial. I'm guessing that, absent evidence to the contrary, people are simply taking sides according to the odds.
Absent another miscellaneous order showing that the Justices granted Donofrio's petition, not likely to come at this hour, we'll just have to wait until Monday or Tuesday for the full list of orders.

I've been looking all over for the info. No dice.
SCOTUS did not deny Certiorari 08-407 (not included on denial list pages 3-12 pdf)
