That would be necessary if they're looking to intervene and become parties to the lawsuit (rather than just weigh in)

Similarly - the Cannon-rejected amici have re-presented their briefs to the 11th circuit.

Note that this doesn't mean that the 11th will accept either one

Todd Rokita in Indiana.

Who coordinates this shit for them?

Some PAC or Org ran to all those AGs to get them to sign on.

They think the greater good is what THEY say the greater good is.

That's their ultimate end game.
