Agreed. A lot of independents like to vote for the perceived "winner." The Republicans are in disarray. They're not united in pushing a conservative agenda and are making one political misstep after another. This turns moderates off.

But he was running against a Democrat who was a registered Republican until March 2016. (According to https://ballotpedia.org/James_Thompson_(Kansas) ) It may not mean a whole lot.

Also, Estes was tied to Brownback, and Brownback is a ... well, not very popular.
Truth is, had Thompson won, the return of "blue dog" (fiscal conservative pro 2nd amendment) Democrats would be a good thing anyway.

Could it be that they dont want to hear it this term but next one? or mabe someone is really doing some hard reading about this.....

It wouldn't be heard this term if granted cert tomorrow, which it won't. Hard reading, discussing with other Justices, waiting for Gorsuch to get read up....

That is indeed very interesting.
It doesn't make sense, if Gorsuch needs more time then it could simply be discussed and relisted.
I'm curious if this is some new action by the court, like how a few years ago they began not granting cert until the case had been relisted.
Have any other cases on the docket been rescheduled like this one?

Found just a few 'rescheduled' cases, posted a few pages back...

I searched the docket on "rescheduled" and there are 26 pages of cases (179 since 2013). Not a lot in comparison to the whole docket.
A few from 2013, a few more from 2014, lots after Scalia's passing. Most seem to be capital or sentencing cases. There are a few "famous" cases in there like Friedrichs (CA teachers union). One from 2016 is a petition for rehearing in a capital case where Sotomayor dissented from denial of cert the first time. One is interestingly a 10th circuit case (can Gorsuch even participate in that?).
Hard to know what to make of it.
Any day Peruta does not get denied is still a good day.

My understanding is that there are versions of a national concealed carry reciprocity act working its way through both chambers right now. Is that something that might influence how the justices view this case, or whether they decide to even hear it?

I highly doubt it. Any particular piece of legislation has about a 0.01% chance of getting passed.

Was Gorsuch on the panel? If he was, he definitely can't participate, but if he wasn't, he should be ok to hear the case now.

Will have to look to see if he was on the panel.
Anyone want to speculate on whether they are researching the intervention? In the back of my mind I've always thought thst the procedural aspect of his case was suspect.

If They're Waiting On Another Case, Perhaps Norman?
Don't think they would wait on cases that haven't been decided, like Wrenn.

IMHO, they aren't waiting on any case. Not the Court's style to wait, especially where none of the parties have suggested it.

It is interesting. Recall that Friedman was relisted many times simply to allow a dissent from the denial of cert. to be written. Ditto for Jackson, which was relisted 7 times! Similarly, Caetano was relisted many times to allow a per curiam opinion and Justice Alito's concurrence to be written. If the case continues to be relisted, my guess would be that someone is writing something.
