He’s been canvassing them, and knows what the answer will be. It’s a perfect case of influencing the court.

He might have had some insiders put out feelers, but he wouldn't make direct contact. I suspect he was hoping a judge on the DC Circuit would do it for him. I'm somewhat surprised one of them didn't, and that doesn't fare well for Sullivan. I don't think the court wants this case, as they would have to do some serious twisting of their own recent precedents to overrule the panel. But if they do review the case en banc, they will do exactly that.
