Parker</i> precedent either, and yet we read endlessly about <i>Kelo</i>. It's news because the public is interested, not because the Supreme Court has done anything bizarre or unexpected.

When was the last time the Supreme Court actually granted rehearing in a fully briefed, argued, and decided case? I can't remember a single one in the 19 years I have been doing Supreme Court work. In the wake of Booker they granted rehearing on some cert. denied cases, but for cases fully decided on the merits, I don't believe it has happened in modern history. So, the Court denied rehearing, the sun rose in the East, and Generalissimo Franco is still dead, all equally newsworthy.
