Today marks the last sitting this week at the Supreme Court, and it will likely bring us snow along with a sprinkling of decisions. We don’t know how much snow or how many decisions, but hang tight. One thing we are pretty sure of is that an oral argument will take place today, no matter what the weather. The case to be argued is Upper Skagit Indian Tribe v. Lundgren, an Indian tribal sovereignty case from Washington state.
A lot has happened already this week, and we are digging into some of it for today’s edition. From yesterday’s argument, we look at the latest tiff among justices over the use of non-record information in cases. And from a Monday cert denial, a look at the importance of recusals. Plus, some SCOTUS-related books that are worth a look. Thanks for reading!
