The Court has received jurisdictional statements from all parties, and it looks like we'll have some answers by late next week. As far as the issue of whether the Court will accept the case, SCOTUSblog describes it better than I can:
Because the appeals reach the Court within special jurisdiction ordered by Congress, it would take the votes of at least five Justices to dispose of the case, either way. It would not be enough if four Justices did not vote for review. The Court is also under orders from Congress to handle such appeals on an expedited basis.So, basically, it would be a major surprise (to me at least) if the Court does not put the case on the argument calendar sooner rather than later this term. More to come when I hear of it...
