Thursday round-up
on Sep 18, 2014 at 8:15 am
Briefly:
- At BuzzFeed, Chris Geidner chronicles the path of the challenges to state bans on same-sex marriage from the Supreme Court to the lower courts and now back to the Supreme Court, and he suggests that, although the Justices “might not see ‘urgency’ to take a case immediately, the filings by the state officials and plaintiffs in the cases show that they have a sense of urgency and are looking for resolution.”
- In the Supreme Court Brief (subscription required), Tony Mauro reports on Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s recent trip to Oklahoma, which “included a rare private visit with Native American leaders.”
- At ACSblog, Erwin Chemerinsky discusses his new book, in which he argues that “the Supreme Court has largely failed throughout American history, especially at its most important tasks and at the most important times.”
