What I can't understand is why no one in the media or elsewhere checked. I only had a little trouble at the SCOTUS website finding this. I think it is a subconscious thing. We all wanted a little justice.

Wait! Oops. Only the application for the injunction is denied! The writ for certiorari may still be in play and he may have to produce by December 1st.
ReplyDeletetouring word is "guess" how apropos.

No it's not hard to find, I just don't think anyone expects the SCOTUS to publish their orders like that.
ReplyDeleteAs to the petition for a Writ of Cert. If the Court grants the writ the only thing they are agreeing to do is review the record as it exists in the lower court and decide on the legality of the lower court decision.
This Dec. 1 date that everyone keeps throwing around is probably the date for the opposing counsel (the Solicitor Gen for the FEC and whatever high priced gun Obama hired) to respond to the petition. The only argument they're gonna make is why they thought the lower court was right and the Writ should not be granted.
It would be very strange for the SCOTUS to order either side to produce anything not already in the lower court record at this point in the proceedings. -embycil
Souter is lucky that he is appointed to his position for life and can't be removed except for impeachment. Otherwise, his tenure at SCOTUS could be, or at least should be, in jeopardy.
ReplyDeleteWell, there's impeachment, retirement, or death. A smart one of them would do B, before A or C developed imminence.
