I heard similar things about Gorsuch and being a strict constitutionalist.

I bought the bullet and went ahead and bought now, instead of waiting for the price to drop again. It might be wishful thinking, but not sure it will drop again without any bad news.

Unfortunately they won't be hearing the case till Oct at the earliest.
However it might not be until April. Below is some excerpts from SCOTUS procedure which can be found here:
http://www.scotusblog.com/reference/educational-resources/supreme-court-procedure/

Of the 7,000 to 8,000 cert petitions filed each term, the court grants certiorari and hears oral argument in only about 80. Granting a cert petition requires the votes of four justices...
Based on these reviews, the justices decide to add Lyon v. Animal House Zoo to the discuss list, a short list of cases they plan to talk about at their next private meeting, or conference. (If no justice had asked to add Lyon to the discuss list, it would have been put on the “dead list,” and certiorari would automatically have been denied without the justices having ever discussed the case or voted on it.) At least four justices vote to grant review in Lyon, and the court announces this decision as part of an order list, which will generally be released on the Monday morning after the conference.

The Supreme Court normally hears oral arguments between October and April, scheduling them into monthly two-week sittings during which the court hears two (although sometimes one or three) arguments per day on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

Typically, all cases are decided by the time the court recesses for the summer at the end of June or the beginning of July.
