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.
"Colorado Sues Self Over Redistricting" The headline of this Washington
Times article illustrates that election law is a growth industry.
