Today?s SCOTUS Conference

By Phil

During today’s regular weekly Friday Conference, one of the cases that the Supreme Court will be considering on whether to proceed forward is Wrotnowski v. Bysiewicz, a case very similar to Donofrio v. Wells, only with much more substantive analysis and significantly less lower court procedural flaws.

SCOTUSblog notes:

The Justices are scheduled to hold a private conference this morning, orders from which could be released as early as this afternoon. 

The InvestigatingObama blog has a great post today where they discuss how they will be presenting further information on Barack Obama’s legal challenges as a means of similarly helping everyone cut through the misinformation of the mainstream media (and, unfortunately, right-leaning sources, too).

Regardless of when the Supremes make a decision (could be either today or Monday), I’ll be sure to make a posting here Based on past history, however, it would appear that if the Supremes do not say word about Cort’s case today, it will likely have been denied; the Supremes have granted or denied Certiorari or other grants/denials on both Fridays and Mondays; we’ll simply have to see what happens.

A current listing of eligibility related lawsuits can be found here.

Update: Per Leo’s latest posting:

[UPDATE]: 11:26 AM - Dec. 12 2008 :  Rumors of a decision denying Cort?s application are unequivocally false.  A SCOTUS Spokesperson just told Cort Wrotnowski there has been no decision.  She indicated there will be no decision until Monday.  The conference is sealed, no clerks are allowed in.]

Update: A factoid over at InvestigatingObama indicates the following:

BTW, the SCOTUS has not denied Donofrio’s NJ case, only his request for a stay while they confer over the Wrotnowski, CT case, Dec. 12.
