In a mandamus case, the Court can move very quickly. I would take today’s 9:00am deadline to mean that someone up there wants to read the response, and possibly discuss it as a group, today.

Why today? It might be that the Court is considering disposing of the case with tomorrow morning’s regular order list (although the Court can of course issue special orders at any time). But the Court’s timing is its own — I wouldn’t bet either way on that.

I see no gain.

What does the stay hurt if they wish to lean towards granting relief?

Walthers can continue her status hearings and it would not be a waste there either, unless they will not “grant the requested mandamus relief”.
