Will anyone file oppositions
to the Bopp motions in the Supreme Court? The Supreme Court rules appear
to allow responses to motions within 10 days of receipt (see rule 21(4)).
The rules don't seem to expressly deal with responses to applications for
stays (see rules 22 and 23). In any case, the rules do not provide for the
Court to wait for a response before issuing a ruling. Will the government
or the BCRA sponsors file oppositions to the Bopp motions? What about the
NRA, which asked for the stay of the court's order relating to the backup
electioneering provisions?
SCOTUSblog offers this
consise summary of the status of the various documents in the BCRA case
filed before the Supreme Court. It has many useful links.
