It's the day after Election Day, and here's hoping the justices got a good night's rest—because there are arguments this morning. An international dispute over service-of-process puts the U.S. on the side of Sudan—and drew claims of a “dubious bottom line” from counsel for the victims. Plus: in extraordinary times, the Supreme Court exudes normalcy. Tuesday's arguments were no exception. And scroll down for what could be the next big ACA case to arrive at the high court. Thanks for reading Supreme Court Brief. Feedback and other comments welcome: [email protected] and [email protected].

Or were they required by domestic and international law to send it to the foreign affairs minister's address in Sudan?
