Does anyone have a sense of how quickly the US Supremes will hear this case?

This soon-to-be law has a provision, like the first CFR, which requires it to be "accelerated on the dockets" of the one trial court and then the Supreme Court. The first such case, Buckley v. Valeo, 1976, was decided by the Supreme Court roughly six months after it started in the trial court.

Expect this case to be filed, as was Buckley on the effective date of the law, That is 6 November, 2002, for this one. Expect the final decision, therefore, in May, give or take a few weeks.
