Just in Time for Christmas

A judge of this Court having made a sua sponte call for a vote on whether this case should be reheard en banc, the parties shall file, within 21 days from the date of this order, simultaneous briefs setting forth their respective positions on whether this case should be reheard en banc. [More]
Oh, and look:
This sort of “sua sponte” call for rehearing en banc, even without a petition, is a pretty well-settled procedure, though not one that’s often used.
It's used a hell of a lot more by black-robed judicial Nazgul than "shall not be infringed," that's for damn sure...
