On Obamacare conference call, Calif AG Becerra says that while his state is ready to seek immediate Supreme Court review of yesterday's ruling, he'll need to consult with other states that are involved.
Becerra on the likelihood of going straight to Scotus: "I think most of us believe that we have to address this uncertainty as quickly as possible. … I can speak for California that we believe it's imperative to act swiftly."
North Carolina AG Stein: "I can't think of a reason why we wouldn’t want to seek cert, but we need to deliberate."
Becerra says states might ask Scotus to hear the case this term. That would an extraordinary amount of expedition in the briefing. The court normally issues its last grants for the current term in mid-January.
Michigan AG Nessel casts doubt on hopes that Scotus would agree to take up an immediate appeal: "I do think that it is more likely that they will allow the case to go back down to the district court."
