An article in Reason

Posted by David Hardy · 12 June 2009 08:04 AM

on why the Court should rule the right way in the Chicago case and in Nordyke.

UPDATE: the Court goes out of session late this month (before any of the petitions will be fully briefed), so the briefing will be completed over its summer break. It comes back to state the new Term on the first Monday in October. I'd guess we won't have too long to wait to see whether it takes these cases, at that point, but the Court is master of its own schedule.

When does the Supreme Court decide about whether to take the case?

This probably won't be considered until they return from break in October.

And by that time may we expect Madame Sotomayor to be sitting on the bench? I would assume so.

Ms. Sotomayer's 2nd Circuit opinion earlier this year (Maloney v. Cuomo) is one that is part of the circuit conflict laid out in the Chicago petition for cert. If she happens to be confirmed before the Supremes even consider the petition for cert, will she have to recuse herself from participating in either (or both) the consideration of the petition or the decision on the case itself?
