5. Perhaps we'll see a petition for a rehearing by the full court (en banc) ?

I would expect better from the ninth.

The panel was Judge Ikuta (appointed by G.W. Bush and wrote the majority opinion), Judge Bridget S. Bade (appointed by Trump), and Judge Jay S. Bybee (appointed by G.W. Bush and wrote the dissent).

In a court with 16 judges appointed by Democrats and 13 by Republicans, it seems unfortunate that you would get a panel of 3 judges appointed by Republicans.
