Did you see? Feds Say #SCOTUS Is "Likely" To Hear Travel Ban Case, Even Though They Haven’t Filed There:https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/feds-say-supreme-court-is-likely-to-hear-a-case-they-havent?utm_term=.rj4knqkdM …
As to that specific point, however, I also think differently, noted here:https://twitter.com/chrisgeidner/status/869973037403090944 …

Eh, I don't think SCOTUS is so petty as to deny cert just because the government is publicly predicting that cert will happen.

It's a lot more complicated than that. It has to do with the posture they're coming into the court already, and the underlying issues here.

I think DOJ v much should be seeking to come to SCOTUS in as clean of a way as possible — & they want to avoid frustrating the judge in MI.
-
That's just best-practices 101: tee up issues for cert cleanly, with min baggage (doctrinal or otherwise); & don't irk a fellow Art 3 judge.

And yet. Here we are.

Boy howdy, are we ever.
-
Here's hoping DOJ ignores our wise counsel and continue tripping over their own—aaaand it's bedtime for me!

Pleasure as always.
