"Sorry, kiddo. The Supremes will vacate an order that egregious, and they will also issue a stay on the 9th (as they've done in other cases), forbidding them from ruling on any aspect of the case without Supreme Court permission."
How many votes would it take for SCOTUS to vacate the ruling?
PS: That's not the McClintock backers plan, that's the DNC in conjunction with the 9th Circuit's plan of action.
I, like most McClintock supporters, am just a spectator.

How many votes would it take for SCOTUS to vacate the ruling?5. And they've usually overruled the 9th by 9-0 votes, even after eight years of Clinton.

The fact that the McClintockites are rooting for a DNC plan is enough to give me pause.
