The "First Monday in October" is on its way.

The Supreme Court has a habit of letting the appeals run their course with, I think, good reason. There are so many issues in this travesty of a law, that the Court wants a solid record of argument and evidence on which to base a decision. That record is created through the appeals process. A lawyer get 30 minutes - including the time taken up by the justices' questions - for oral argument. All the cards need to be spread out, face up, on the table before the Supreme Court gets involved.

Because the court is not on any time table but its own. Expedited review is hardly ever used. The court may take it up before or after the election, but the outcome of 2012 will have nothing to do with the decision of the SC— unless a conservative retires or dies and is replaced by another Obamatard.

Our SC court operates under an ancient biblical practice:

15 Moses answered him, “Because the people come to me to seek God’s will. 16 Whenever they have a dispute, it is brought to me, and I decide between the parties and inform them of God’s decrees and instructions.”

17 Moses’ father-in-law replied, “What you are doing is not good. 18 You and these people who come to you will only wear yourselves out. The work is too heavy for you; you cannot handle it alone. 19 Listen now to me and I will give you some advice, and may God be with you. You must be the people’s representative before God and bring their disputes to him. 20 Teach them his decrees and instructions, and show them the way they are to live and how they are to behave. 21 But select capable men from all the people—men who fear God, trustworthy men who hate dishonest gain—and appoint them as officials over thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens. 22 Have them serve as judges for the people at all times, but have them bring every difficult case to you; the simple cases they can decide themselves. That will make your load lighter, because they will share it with you. 23 If you do this and God so commands, you will be able to stand the strain, and all these people will go home satisfied.”

24 Moses listened to his father-in-law and did everything he said. 25 He chose capable men from all Israel and made them leaders of the people, officials over thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens. 26 They served as judges for the people at all times. The difficult cases they brought to Moses, but the simple ones they decided themselves.
