Either way, could SCOTUS tell the 9th not to hold off, to come to a decision in Peruta-Richards-Baker because they want the benefit of the opinion of the 9th before deciding Drake? That's what I'm hoping for.
Could Alan word his brief in such a way that he raises this issue (basically suggest to SCOTUS that they "ask" the 9th to come to a conclusion ASAP for the benefit of SCOTUS)?

Um, I see that you were talking about
Drake, so I just started talking about
Drake even though
Drake is pending a decision re. going
en banc.
I meant to talk about
Woollard which Gura has already requested
cert. for.
