and we’ll know their willingness to hear the case on 1/6? If it was filed in DC originally it would have been tossed immediately, right? I think I read that. To transfer it there is there more likelihood it WON’T be tossed?

Well it got tossed immediately where it was filed, and probably would have been tossed in most every federal circuit for the same or similar reasons: lack of standing, and/or sovereign immunity. Any federal court could have just decided to transfer the case to D.C. to gain jurisdiction over all defendants. By using the basis they did, the lower courts tossed the case rather than adjudicating any of the claims raised. SCOTUS may well find national security, and election hacking are serious enough issues that the Brunson has a case, even if the venue needs to be changed.
