I just think the action needed to have been brought in the D.C. District Court for proper venue and jurisdiction.
Too late. So sad.

Due to the fact that this case represents a national security breach on a unprecedented level like never before seen...
Rule 11 to the rescue.

RULES OF THE Supreme Court of the United States
Rule 11. Certiorari to a United States Court of Appeals Before Judgment

A petition for a writ of certiorari to review a case pending in a United States court of appeals, before judgment is entered in that court, will be granted only upon a showing that the case is of such imperative public importance as to justify deviation from normal appellate practice and to require immediate determination in this Court. See 28 U. S. C. § 2101(e).

And the sheep graze quietly on...

As Mr. Brunson points out...if the 10th Circuit had moved on his case
instead of sitting on it, Rule 11 would have never applied.
