3. Clicking on the tweet it's from 2 days ago so it's not breaking and it isn't clear

if it's negative or positive. But, it would have been nice if Roberts just chose to keep quiet.

4. Don't get excited.

It is not on the subpoena itself and he is kicking the can down the road a bit to gather facts and info.

8. 'pending receipt of a reponse, due ... Dec 31...'

This is procedural, enabling the parties thoroughly to inform the Court, which some might think is a good thing.

11. I agree. I'm only slightly nervous. Just a little. :)

10. I think this would set a precedent if this went forward and was not kicked back. Closed secession

in the S/C would be interesting.
