Good morning and welcome to Supreme Court Brief! The justices are back on the bench for the start of the two-week November argument session. They start the morning with a potential blockbuster: the fate of affirmative action in high education. We take a look at the lawyers who will argue in this first week. Expect to hear dueling versions of constitutional history in the affirmative action arguments. Two amicus briefs in particular reflect opposing visions. Plus, scroll down for two election scholars’ predictions of caseload disaster ahead if the justices accept the independent state legislature doctrine.
Thanks for reading. We welcome feedback and tips. Contact Marcia Coyle at [email protected] and follow her on Twitter @MarciaCoyle.
