Comments on: Today’s Orders http://www.scotusblog.com/wp/todays-orders-9/ The Supreme Court of the United States blog Thu, 26 Jun 2008 21:56:34 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Roger Friedman http://www.scotusblog.com/wp/todays-orders-9/comment-page-1/#comment-13061 Roger Friedman Wed, 21 Nov 2007 16:57:49 +0000 http://www.scotusblog.com/wp/uncategorized/todays-orders-9/#comment-13061 I was glad to see that both halves of the scotusblog team, as well as the Stanford Clinic, were associated with civil rights veteran Ed Still on the Motion to Dismiss or Affirm in Riley. To the extent that any of you can reply without giving up the benefits of using a Supreme Court specialist, I have two questions. (1) In light of Lyle's comment, does the postponement of jurisdiction likely rule out a summary dismissal on that ground after the merits briefing? (2) Does the failure to affirm likely rule out a summary affirmance after the merits briefing, or does it indicate a desire by the "federalist" wing of the court to overturn either the mechanics or the constitutional foundations of the Voting Rights Act?
