“Why is the time for an answer set to Thursday?”
Maybe they will fast track unfavorable cases in 5th Circuit of MS, LA or TX (eligibility or such?), but just not saying so?
Probably due to the Easter Holidays. The courts are probably going to take some time off and they would want to have an answer before then. Or they could just be wanting to come down hard on 0 and show they are in charge, not him. It will be interesting to see if he just ignores the court or not. He is elected, after all. (That last comment was meant as sarcasm.)
