With respect to this particular case, I don't think it's fair to say that people are choosing heads or tails based on how they *want* it to be resolved.

I know that litigation is a crapshoot, for the most part, but sometimes there's just not much question as to how it's going to play out. Odds are 99-1 against the US Supreme Court granting certiorari and reversing the trial judge, IMHO.

You need four member of the Supreme Court to grant certiorari (thanks Catspaw) and five to reverse. Count the votes. Do you have them?

Doubtful. But if this becomes a severe national security issue, I expect the president will resolve it. Happened before. Not making any bets, but I'm still choosing 'heads' on the 10th Amendment and pitching my tent on the beach. How about you?
