SCOTUS conferenced on whether or not they’ll grant cert today, but there is no world about the result. We now won’t know before Tuesday.
[Tuesday-morning update]
We hoped we’d hear today, but the good news is that this time, it was apparently conferenced on Friday, and has now been relisted. The alternative would have been a denial, but now we may hear on Friday, and they will likely grant it.

Best wishes and best of luck to you, Rand.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; the fact this issue ended up in court at all is both preposterous and offensive, as well as an affront to free speech. The fact that it’s now before the Supreme Court is a theater of the absurd.
Best wishes.
The whole point of the law suit now is the punishment of the process. It’s in bad need of reform. Obviously Mann has deep pockets thanks to his political connections.
This is the sort of “legal action” where I wish that the lawyers could be required to defend themselves against a charge of “pettifoggery” on penalty of disbarment: “At what point did you realize that your client’s case was malicious and in violation of the SLAPP Legislation?”
Would never happen, but I can dream…
At this point in time it is important to point out:
Jerry Sandusky did NOT hang himself.
Neither did Epstein.
It is tough to predict how SCOTUS will go on this one. Nothing is certain these days, especially when it comes to free speech or the extremes to which AGW alarmists will go to defend their religion.
