So everyone had been saying that we were going to hear the status of this case by Nov. 23:

Apparently, that is not true. All that happened yesterday is the government officially declined to file a response to the petition. So still no idea when SCOTUS will tell us whether they have agreed to take the case or reject it.

I think most of us have given up on the civilian courts entirely and are waiting for the military to resolve this, but there is still a chance this could be a kickoff to the series of events we have been waiting for. Anyway, if you were like me and thought we would know the answer before the holiday, we all thought wrong.

The petition is still in limbo, but at least they haven't outright rejected it yet.
