Today at the Supreme Court | 2.14.08

Thursday, February 14th, 2008 12:01 am | Ben Winograd | Print This Post

No oral arguments are scheduled and no non-capital orders are expected to be issued today from the Court. If any orders are issued in pending cases, we will post them promptly.

By the end of the day, the Solicitor General is expected to file a petition for certiorari and motion to expedite in Bismullah v. Gates, involving the scope of materials the government must disclose to detainees challenging their enemy combatant status before the D.C. Circuit .

  2. That is interesting and may raise a Plaut v. Spendthrift Farm issue, so it could end up at SCOTUS in the not-too-distant future.

  3. What is the holdup with an opinion/ruling on the Davis vs Kentucky Muni Bond case (06-666)? It was argued on November 5th. Any ideas?

    Thanks,

  4. One can hope. Is there a ‘general’ section to the scotusblog? This may not really be the site for this though (at this stage I mean) …..
