The Court receives about 7,000 petitions every year. It has almost complete control over which cases it will hear. The justices choose about 90 percent of their 100 to 120 cases by writ of certiorari, an order to send up a case record from a lower court

Hearings begin in October every year, and the last cases are usually heard in June. The justices receive briefs, or summaries of arguments, from the lawyers ahead of time. Often they receive amici curiae, or briefs prepared by interest groups or government agencies that support one side or the other. The hearings are open to the public and are strictly timed. Each side has 30 minutes to present its case, and the justices typically ask questions and even debate one another during the allotted time.

How does that make you feel?

VRNG hasn't even filed their Petition for a Writ of Certiorari yet. I believe it is due to be filed on, or before, March 23, 2015.

vinovista, do not know about when does SCOTUS will give a yes or a no, but I believe to more immediate news is coming up Jan. 12th, is either in UK or GERMANY that a ruling against ZTE will be announced, perhaps some of the other participants in this forum may share some of the pending dates coming up. Thanks to all that provide your knowledge and advice for all of us, I miss "Red Angus" and JJS is in and out from time to time, thank you all.GLTA
