I'm sure the Polk County judge and sheriff are thrilled at the prospect of being called as witnesses in a First Amendment case given their previous quotes.

The court has only accepted a motion to whether Chris should be released on bail. I don't think the court will be accepting testimony on the motion. They will simply review the case file and briefs. I don't know of an instance where the supreme court would actually take evidence or testimony.
The only time I know of that the supreme court would preside over a case is when the chief justice presides as the Senate acts as jurors in an impeachment hearing.
