Comments on: Analysis: Vermont in trouble, Vickie Lynn in clover? http://www.scotusblog.com/2006/02/analysis-vermont-in-trouble-vickie-lynn-in-clover/ The Supreme Court of the United States blog Mon, 23 Jan 2012 22:38:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Kent Scheidegger http://www.scotusblog.com/2006/02/analysis-vermont-in-trouble-vickie-lynn-in-clover/#comment-8986 Kent Scheidegger Wed, 01 Mar 2006 18:53:37 +0000 http://www.scotusblog.com/wp/uncategorized/analysis-vermont-in-trouble-vickie-lynn-in-clover/#comment-8986 Even if Mrs. Marshall wins this round, I wouldn't advise her to go out and spend the "clover" just yet. A host of issues remain on remand. See part VI, first para., of the CA9 opinion. The case will probably not go on as long as <i>Jarndyce v. Jarndyce</i>, which concluded Sunday night on PBS, nor is it likely to consume the whole estate, but it certainly wouldn't be over. Suppose, SCOTUS-watchers, that two years ago someone had told you that on a day when the Supreme Court decided an abortion-related case and heard argument in a campaign finance reform case, the focus of press coverage would be on a case of probate and bankruptcy jurisdiction. Would you have questioned the person's sanity? Even if Mrs. Marshall wins this round, I wouldn’t advise her to go out and spend the “clover” just yet. A host of issues remain on remand.
