Is it possible that the House could ask SC (Original Post)

OP

(18,486 posts)1. The Court hasn't ruled yet
It only refused to block the spending while the case proceeds. The case is still before the Court.

(26,733 posts)2. It isn't even at SCOTUS and they aren't party to the suit
IIRC it's the Sierra Club and it's at the 9th Cir.
The problem they'll run in to is that SCOTUS hinted that Sierra Club has no course of action.

Think they will when they return?
StarfishSaver
(18,486 posts)4. Probably not
They're not party to the suit, so they don't have any standing. They can weigh in on the merits of the case through in amicus brief, but that wouldn't have anything to do with pushing for a speedier decision.

(32,000 posts)5. Since the SC has refused to stop that spending while the suit proceeds
it is a good indication you will not like the results of a speedy decision.

I can't believe it BUT your right i'm sure. How the SC allows this is beyond my wildest dreams
