Maybe Huckabee and possibly McCain.

I doubt McCain would. Or don't you remember him from before?

Key thing about the SG's brief is that while it asks SCOTUS to lower the standard and remand the case, it does nothing to suggest what a lower standard should be, save only to leave existing law alone. In a context where everything is evaluated based on principles (even activist judges give some kind of legal justification), this kind of request will at best give the plaintiff a dirty look.

I don't see how this "hey, just sweep it under the rug" brief is going to have any impact on SCOTUS.
