Great Expectations
by Bob Schulz 11/10/22
No, not the 1861 novel by Charles Dickens, but the 11/22/24 conference at the Supreme Court of the United States.
On that day the Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court will decide whether or not to proceed with a case that would finally define the principal rights of the people and principal obligations of the government that are secured by the Petition Clause of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution (and, by extension, each of the fifty State Constitutions).
At stake is the right of the people to hold the government accountable to their will, as expressed throughout the Constitution.
As goes the Court’s decision, so goes our Constitutional Republic.
The case, Futia v. United States was brought by Anthony Futia, Jr., an 89 year old life-time resident and employee of the town of North Castle, N.Y.
The Supreme Court has docketed the case at 24-364.
Readers are encouraged to visit the Court’s website at:
https://www.supremecourt.gov/docket/docket.aspx enter the docket number 24-364 at “Docket Search” and read Futia’s historic “Petition for Writ of Certiorari” which was filed on September 27, 2024.
On November 1, 2024, finding no factual error in Futia’s filing, the defendant waived its right to file a response.
On November 6, 2024 the Clerk of the Court distributed Futia’s filing to the Justices for their conference and decision on 11/22/24.
