Berg v. Obama: Case Disposition Likely Monday

By Phil

According to the Supreme Court’s 2008 Term Court Orders page, the Court’s disposition of Berg v. Obama is likely not to happen until Monday, January 12, as the current Miscellaneous Order contains no reference to it.

As Jeff notes, while some may attach an entirely negative connotation to today’s absence of a mention of the case, please keep in mind the following from the same Orders page:

The vast majority of cases filed in the Supreme Court are disposed of summarily by unsigned orders. Such an order will, for example, deny a petition for certiorari without comment. Regularly scheduled lists of orders are issued on each Monday that the Court sits, but “miscellaneous” orders may be issued in individual cases at any time. Scheduled order lists are posted on this Website on the day of their issuance, while miscellaneous orders are posted on the day of issuance or the next day. [emphasis mine]

We will simply have to wait and see exactly how the Court decides to come down on Berg’s case.
