Many times cases are heard by just a panel from the whole Court. Given the new numbers, the odds of a "conservative" majority on that panel have gone up. And if they rule conservatively, many times the whole Court refuses to hear the en banc request and the ruling stands, just as with the SCOTUS refusing to take a case.

Just my take of what I've seen over the years living in this 9th District.
