1. I'm not a lawyer, nor do I play one on television, but I suspect....

This is just boilerplate, another nail in the coffin. It's moot now, but a Trump appeal to the SCOTUS would have been DOA

2. No, its not boilerplate.

It is very rare that a judge on their own motion would move to re-hear a case.

3. Maybe they are looking at it again because......

like Joe Biden said, "This is a Big Fucking deal"

4. Extremely difficult to say.

Especially since it is about a temporary restraining order not the merits of the case itself.

5. This is not good

Have they been pressured to change their minds?
