Guessing the broader CA5 is less friendly to AA than Higginbotham and King. Churning dat bill (who is finding the litigation at this point?). Spitballing arguments for SCOTUS.

If they believe CA5 is significantly more hostile to AA such that it might grant review, obviously they want to try to win the case at the circuit in the event SCOTUS is fucking done with this case. If they don't get review, how long does that really add to their cert calendar? A few months? Seems like they'd be cutting it close to get the case in for OT2014 anyway. SCOTUS practitioners have very specific calendars about cert consideration days and superstitions about which days are best to be up for review (eg, you dont want the new batch of clerks writing your cert memo because they are overly inclined to recommend denial) so it is possible they didn't like their timing and wanted a later draw.

SCOTUS isn't a court of error correction and CA5 purporting to apply the "new" standard, based on a complex record, makes the case much less cert-worthy than the first time around. Full CA5 is probably their best hope, ideally to persuade a majority that the panel misapplied the new standard.

Of course it can. But it's much less likely to grant cert the second time around.
