Today at the Supreme Court
Here’s the scorecard from the Court for today: rulings in five merits cases, three grants, two CVSGs, one summary reversal (and a partridge in a pear tree).
Lyle has this post summarizing the Court’s disposition of five merits cases and this post regarding the grants, CVSGs, and summary reversal.
Lyle has this extended summary and discussion of today’s decision in No. 05-983, Winkelman v. Parma School District.
Gia Kim has this summary of today’s DIG in No. 06-313, Roper v. Weaver.
Kevin has this discussion of No. 06-1265, Klein & Co. Futures, Inc. v. Board of Trade of the City of New York, in which the Court today granted cert.
I have this discussion of today’s cert. grant in No. 06-666, Kentucky Department of Revenue v. Davis.
Lyle reports here on the release of the Court’s calendar for OT2007.
Gretchen has this round-up of news and blog reports on today’s action and this round-up gathering other news related to the Court.
Jason provides links to the orders and opinions here.
Actually, I think only three of today’s “merits rulings” count as decisions on the merits. One was a DIG, and another was a dismissal for want of jurisdiction.
So the already-low total of merits decisions in this Term’s argued cases has just gone two lower.

Mark – It’s true that the Court didn’t decide the merits, but Amy is quite right to call them “rulings in … merits cases” because they were granted on the merits and that way people know what she’s talking about.
