Interesting Development in the Silveira Case

Regardless of how "dangerous" some feel it is, the Supreme Court has just issued a "Request for Response" to the State of California on why the Supreme Court should or should not hear the case. California previously waived the right of response, but now SCOTUS has (ahem) requested it to respond.

Which, in my mind anyway, means the possibility of SCOTUS granting cert. just went up.

I'm still not betting on which way they might decide. I don't know how intellectually honest five of them might be.
