Monty Python is technically a proper name, but they went with the snake, because they wanted a last name that "sounded slippery."

"Monty" may or may not be a reference to Field Marshal Montgomery, from world wars 1 and 2.

These emergency motions go to a single justice first. That justice then forwards the matter to the full court (usually).

In this case, Amy Coney Barrett ordered a quick opposition response to the government's motion, but she didn't put down an administrative stay right away, like in some of these other cases. This means that the NG deployment is still blocked while ACB collects the paperwork and presents it to the full court.
