The Supreme Court weighs in for the first time on BCRA Here is the nonsubstantive order: "02M98 McCONNELL, MITCH, ET AL. V. FEC, ET AL., 02M99 FEC, ET AL. V. McCONNELL, MITCH, ET AL. The motions to dispense with printing the District Court’s opinions are denied. All appellants are directed to file forty copies of a single appendix prepared in compliance with Rule 33.1 containing the District Court's opinions, which will serve as an appendix to all jurisdictional statements." Hard to read much into that.
