@shipwreckedcrew: "How do you think SCOTUS feels about three judges on the DC Appeals court putting them on a clock?
My suspicion: 'Who the fook do they think they are?'

@darulharb That's not quite what happens in these cases.
It's not that the lower court put the Supreme Court on a clock, but rather that the lower court offered the professional courtesy of restraining themselves to give things time to work out more peacefully.
Heck, if you really want to view it in terms of the Supreme Court, this is the lower court offering them more time to consider the case rather than feeling the need to act at that very second should they want to.
The Supreme Court has wide latitude to act if it wants to regardless of the lower court. But the lower court is making it easier on everybody by delaying its own ruling for a bit.
