The issue before the court is rather unprecedented.

If the Justices are going to do something as dramatic as we're discussing, they would have already decided it and are delaying the decision for an appropriated time, or may deliberate over the weekend. The courts have procedures in place for responding to emergency stays, if they so choose to act. That would be the question. If they did, they would not respond until they were ready to.

At least 5 Justices agreed to GRANT the Bill Anderson amicus. That's a good sign.

And if you think nothing can come from the SCOTUS this weekend...

In 2000, the U.S. Supreme Court stayed the FL recount in Gore v Bush, by a 5–4 vote, on Dec 9 — that was on a Saturday ...

Any information of the sealed documents that accompanied the Berg papers?

Waiting for their big moment, huh? The teases!

And then promptly sent the matter back to the 3rd Circuit. Bad sign.

The court has had plenty of time to agree to take the several Obama cases that have been submitted. They don't seem to be in a hurry.
