Today is a possible day for the Supreme Court to hand down an opinion on Raich v. Ashcroft.
Unfortunately, at that time I will be on a bus, and then in an airport, and then on a plane to New York. So I probably will not be able to give you updates in as quick a manner as you have come to expect.
So, head over to SCOTUSblog for the freshest Supreme Court news. They’ll post the information on what decisions are handed down by about 10:30 am Eastern (they blog live, so watch for their post to change as more decisions are released).
Then use this as an open Raich thread. If Raich comes down today, you can bet I’ll be blogging about it tonight from NY.
