OK, Drake is now listed as "distributed for conference of April 18th":

http://www.supremecourt.gov/Search.a...les/13-827.htm

So we seem to have a race here: various judges of the 9th Circus plus the state AG and such want to destroy the Peruta holding before the Supremes decide whether or not to hear Drake.

What can they do to damage Peruta before April 18th?

I realize that the Supremes might stall on deciding whether or not to hear Drake for what, a week or two more?

Who else believes (as I do) that once the Supremes decide to hear Drake, assuming they do of course, it will basically "moot" the remaining steps at en banc in Peruta? In other words, we've either got five votes for Drake on the merits or we don't?
