Wednesday round-up
on Oct 22, 2014 at 7:37 am
Briefly:
- At the WLF Legal Pulse, Richard Samp urges the Court to rule on the merits of Dart Cherokee Basin Operating Co. v. Owens, in which it heard oral argument earlier this month,, rather than dismissing it as improvidently granted.
- 3rd Block With Brian Williams (video) covers recent remarks by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg , who told NPR’s Nina Totenberg that nine female Justices would be “enough” women on the Court.
- At the Volokh Conspiracy, Will Baude weighs in on Supreme Court Justices and the politics of retirement after Richard Re’s post on the topic (which we covered in yesterday’s round-up).
- In the San Jose Mercury News, Howard Mintz covers a recent visit by Justice Sonia Sotomayor to San Jose State University.
- At the National Constitution Center’s Constitution Daily, Scott Bomboy looks at politicians who have become Supreme Court Justices, noting that “it’s been a while since a major national political figure joined the Supreme Court.”
A friendly reminder: We rely on our readers to send us links for the round-up. If you have or know of a recent (published in the last two or three days) article, post, or op-ed relating to the Court that you’d like us to consider for inclusion in the round-up, please send it to roundup [at] scotusblog.com.
