Amy Howe's Headshot
By

Briefly:

  • At Politico, Josh Gerstein reports on the latest efforts television advertising by groups advocating for cameras at the Supreme Court.
  • At NJ.com, Ryan Hutchins covers New Jerseys recent filing of a petition for certiorari in a last-ditch effort to legalize sports betting at the states casinos and horse racing tracks.
  • In The Atlantic, Andrew Cohen discusses Justice Sonia Sotomayors background as a prosecutor and the likelihood that the Court will grant review in a case challenging prosecutorial misconduct in a Virginia murder case.
  • In an op-ed for HamptonRoads.com, Judith Schaeffer praises the recent decision by a federal district court judge striking down Virginias ban on same-sex marriage (which Lyle covered for this blog), focusing in particular on the courts reliance on the Supreme Courts 1967 decision in Loving v. Virginia, striking down the states ban on interracial marriages.
