52. 3:23 -3:24 Important DOMA update

Fri Dec 7, 2012, 04:25 PM

Dec 2012

Lyle: Trying to sort out DOMA: The case has agreed to consider the merits issue of the constitutionality of DOMA Section 3, it has also given itself the option of not deciding that issue. If it finds that neither the Executive Branch could bring its appeal, and that BLAG lacked Art. III standing, then presumably both of those petitions would be denied. At that point, then, the Court might have to consider whether it wants to hear another DOMA case. But that probably would not be done in time for this term's close.

Kali: A quick reminder that we will have commentary on the grants from Neal Devins (William and Mary), Bill Eskridge (Yale), Bill Duncan (Marriage Law Foundation) and Kenji Yoshino (NYU). Hopefully later tonight or over the weekend.
