Breaking (Non-)News: No Ruling in Montana Supreme Court Sequel
<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=35776>

The Supreme Court has issued its orders and opinions today,
<http://howappealing.law.com/061812.html#046200>  with no word on a summary
reversal or a cert. grant in the Montana case.

What does this mean?  It could mean that there is a summary reversal coming,
but the Court is waiting for one or more Justices to write dissents or
additional opinions as to the summary reversal. (I expect if there is a
reversal, at least Justice Ginsburg would write something given her earlier
unusual opinion with respect to the stay in the case.)

On the other hand, i recall that the Texas re-redistricting cases were
relisted 5 times on the Court's conference list before the Court ultimately
agreed to hear the case rather than issue a summary disposition.

So we could hear something by the end of the term's argument days  (likely
next Thursday), or something could come right before the first Monday in
October (or even later)
