In (vague) connection with your earlier post, it seems Krazy Al and the SEC have heard from the Appellate Court:
We just received notice from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals that:
The court is of the unanimous opinion that the facts and legal arguments are adequately presented in the briefs and record and the decisional process would not be significantly aided by oral argument. The court orders this matter submitted without oral argument, on December 4, 2012.
There will therefore, be no argument of this case before the open Court; the matter will be decided on the record as it now stands.
Please consider: it may well be that the three Justices assigned to hear this case realized that the issues are well laid out and well briefed; and, perhaps they determined at their pre-argument conference on this case that they were all of one mind - in other words, they already unanimously agree on the result, and there are simply no areas of the law which need to be further discussed.
My guess is it'll all be over very soon.
