If I’m reading the entry at the link below correctly, it looks like the Response to Plaintiffs’ Motion to File Complaint is due by 12/10/20 at 3:00 p.m..

I may be reading too much into it, but since a due date for the Response has been set, wouldn’t that be an indicator that SCOTUS will ultimately hear the case?
Well, it certainly can't move forward without responses from the defendants. So this is a good sign.
Yes I think you are reading too much into it. Briefs were requested in the Kelly case too, dismissed today.
