161

Also, even if those "justices" can expand the view in taking or refusing a case to a wider domain, can that also extend to things that happen in the future after submitting the writ? How does that fit with legal constraints including the constitutional due process given that the petitioner had no opportunity to take into account those events when he wrote his petition? While a petition to this court may be denied, the filing of the petition is still subject to the due process requirement.
A similar point could be made regarding expanding the view in taking or refusing a case to events that are not part of what is in the case but are reactions to it.    
Both these points clearly apply to the issue of taking the phone calls this guy was making as a reason to deny the petition.
