This week, the Supreme Court heard
the arguments for the following cases:
In terms of its schedule, this week
was a very normal week as far as the Court is concerned, with three argument
days from Monday to Wednesday, and a conference day on Friday. Next week will mark
the beginning of a slower few weeks for the Court, with a non-argument day scheduled
for Monday, December 15th, and nothing else on the Court calendar
until Friday, January 9th, 2015, which will serve as a conference day.
For clarification, non-argument days are days when the Court announces orders
and opinions, and admits new members into its Court Bar.
Outside of oral arguments, the Court
also released two new opinions this week, the first on Integrity Staffing
Solutions, Inc. v. Busk, which I discussed in a previous post. The second,
Warger v. Shauers, was released later on the same day, Tuesday, December 9th,
and I will be discussing it in a future post.
On Thursday, December 11th,
state officials in Arizona asked the Court to examine the Obama administration’s
move on immigration policy, in an attempt to block undocumented immigrants from
getting driver’s licenses. This marks the first time the Court has been dragged
into the debate over President Obama’s executive action. Justice Kennedy has
called for a response to the application to be filed by noon next Tuesday,
December 16th.
