BONNIE RAYSOR, ET AL. v. RON DESANTIS, GOVERNOR OF FLORIDA, ET AL

- Click here for the court's ruling stating that they declined to review the case.
Your chapter on the Judiciary discussed the rule of four - look it up. Three justices dissented in the decision. They explained why. 

Their decision uses a great deal of terminology central to this class. It's worth a quick read. I'll post some quotes from the text shortly, but here are terms that stick out to me. It also touches on issues central to this week's readings - also next week's. 

Since you've taken the first test, many of these should be familiar to you. I hope so anyway, lol.
