Time basically ran out. If they'd appealed the 11th circuit to the full court they may have lost, giving the Supreme Court even more ammo.
If they don't appeal a Republican president might be left to appeal ObamaCare and they would rather control that appeal.
We pretty much know it'll be 5-4 one way or another.
That seems to be the soundest analysis of why they’re seeking S.Ct. review now.
I’m hoping 6-3, with Kennedy and Breyer joining the four Justices who actually believe in the Constitution of the United States of America.
