Did some searching and found another Supreme Court case where the Respondent filed a Waiver. The docket for that case had other filings and events, starting a couple of weeks after the Respondents filed their Waiver Letter. So maybe #22-380 ISN’T the usual “kick in the face” after all.
Stranger things have happened. This might be good to keep eyes on.
