It should also be noted that the Court said it will not hear any of the cases during this session. As I understand it, this still leaves them the option to pick any of the cases up at a later time...
Regarding: "As I understand it, this still leaves them the option to pick any of the cases up at a later time..."
That is incorrect. Once cert is denied, that is the end of the case. There is no "case to pick up later".
Now a different case under different conditions could be "picked-up" under different legal considerations, but these cases are dead.
As an example of what would be "different legal conditions", the current requests were from the 10th, 7th, and 4th Circuit Courts. The 6th Circuit Court has heard arguments but has not issued an opinion. **IF** they were to uphold a ban and that ruling was appealed you would then have a split in the Circuit Courts, the losing side of the 6th Circuits case could appeal to the SCOTUS and you would then have a "split" in the Circuit Courts the SCOTUS would have to address.
