"To us non-lawyer types, this is progress, right?"

Being a non-lawyer myself...

It appears to me that motions in the case (from both sides, with the latest being Berg's "Motion for summary action") have now been sent to the merits panel.

This would appear to be a step further than a court response of DENIED.

Perhaps the 'layer types' in the crowd could confirm and/or elaborate?

English is strange that way. Pretty much everything translates to that.

Third Circuit Court of Appeals
Internal Operating Procedure 3.3

Entering Court.

The panel assembles in the robing room approximately five (5) minutes prior to the opening of court. The judges enter the courtroom from the robing room in the reverse order of precedence. The next ranking judge is stationed to the right
of the presiding judge facing the courtroom from the bench. All remain standing until the presiding judge sits.

Why post this if you’re unwilling to post a corresponding explanation in plain English?

10.7 Motions Related to Cases Assigned to Merits Panels.
10.7.1 Motions related to cases assigned to merits panels are generally granted
or denied by the presiding judge if they are merely administrative and
unrelated to the disposition, unless the presider believes reference to the
entire panel is appropriate.
10.7.2 Motions related to scheduling cases for argument are always referred to
the entire panel.

Certainly good news! It is about time a Court started to look at the merits in these cases.

Not a lawyer, but I am pretty sure it means the case is winding through the bowels of the beast and we have to wait to see what comes out.

For those still discouraged, there is yet another case filed with SCOTUS and still more on the way. This issue is NOT going away until a Court decides on the issue, namely is BO eligible to be POTUS.

DO you think they will enact the Amacae before it is scheduled to be heard......thereby determining merit?

As you know I have not communicated with Berg so I have no inside info on what might be transpiring. It appears that he is jumping through a lot of legal hoops unnecessarily.

As you know, I think it would behoove Berg and all other attorneys to communicate and develop a joint strategy. I know that Orly has contacted Berg but he is not cooperating with her.

In the end, this matter will be heard by SCOTUS. At this point, it is just a question of which team of lawyers get there first. I think Orly’s team will be the first to be heard by SCOTUS on the merits.

Yes, this a good thing. The case is being prepped for oral argument.

Start here:

As you know there are on-going investigations into BO’s campaign.

Thus, it is likely that the Justice Department does not want to have the civil case heard until all the criminal information is compiled.

But there is always the chance that a lawyer will figure out how to get a case before SCOTUS that is limited enough in scope so as not to interfere with said criminal investigations but broad enough for SCOTUS to rule on the issue of eligibility.
